Tribute to Peter Jobin

In Memory....
Tintamarre! Started out as an idea, progressed into a collection of story ideas, and ended up being a novel, a pretty good one according to a friend of mine, Peter Jobin.
Our mutual friend - Bill Marshall: Toronto Film Festival Founder had told Pete that Tintamarre wasn't all that bad and that he should read it. And Pete did and suggested that we should have lunch at a tony midtown bistro to discuss the book's possibilities.
Over lunch Pete said he'd like to take a run at turning it into a movie... and he did... he wrote screenplays for a feature, a 2 part movie and a 3 part and 5 part series.
With this we got some interest in it being made... Peter traveled across Acadia with me sussing out possible production venues and angles for the scripts. We gobbled a mound of fried clams at Quai Aboiteau in Cap Pele, feasted on a mound of lobsters at my sisters, and enjoyed the sites and sounds of Acadie.
But sadly, this past August, Peter left us for a place bound to have much weaker cocktails. Life will never be the same.
