Bill Stenson . . . means well

Stepdad honoured

10/6/2018

4 Comments

 
In 1967 my stepdad, George Szabolcsi, passed after a four year battle with bone cancer.  My mom didn't have the money, at the time, to give him a proper burial.  He rests in Mt. View Cemetery and  fifty-one years, thanks to the money I received for winning the Hunt For the Great B.C. Novel Contest, the marker below will recognize him.  The words inscribed come from a poem my wife, Susan Stenson, wrote about him years ago.  Long overdue but satisfying nevertheless.

 Ordinary Strangers won the 2018 Hunt For The Great B.C. Novel Contest with Mother Tongue Publishing.

"You know a movie or a book has got you hooked when you start feeling relieved when bad things don't happen to the characters, when it's looking like they will.  A sophisticated novel about unsophisticated people."  --  Alan Twigg


​"Never since Jack Hodgins made mirth and myth out of lumberjacks has Settler Coast culture been so accurately rendered"  --  Linda Rogers
