Hello Dennis,

I was surfing and found your history of White Water and thought I had better correct something in case the London Art Mafia come looking for me.

I was never involved with Forest City Gallery.

I was Education Curator at the London Public Library and Art Museum. I had friends and associates attached to Forest City but I put together the Pie in the Sky Cooperative (Patterson Ewen, Robert Bozak, Don Bonham, Steve Parzybok, Dave Gordon and me) that showed in Toronto. It was a strange time. I was working in a public gallery but also promoting alternate venues and approaches. I was showing at the LPLAM at the same time as the Warehouse Coop Show was going on. Pie in the Sky was the result of me inviting several, of the Coop artists to join me and Pat Ewen in a foolish venture - supported by the OAC - (remember Peter Sepp and Walter Sunahara?) which saw us converting a car showroom into a gallery. That was my experience of the alternate scene. I cannot take any credit for the Forest City.
My best to you both.

Bryan
