Grapes and Me

In January 2008, I spent an unforgettable morning helping Don Cherry learn about his grandfather. Wearing my "librarian hat", I appeared with him on an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, a show in which Canadian celebrities trace their family roots.



Don's family has lived in Kingston for at least four generations. He's famous for his rock-em-sock-em public persona, but people around here are quick to tell about his down-to-earth nature and his generosity. In my short visit with him, I found that to be true! He was a real gentleman.
