Finally, a Big Thank You to the
'Friends of Gareth Jones'...
May I, Nigel Colley on behalf of the Gareth Jones' family graciously
give unreserved thanks to the following people for their invaluable
& cumulative help in promoting his belated recognition (and
apologies to many numerous other name I have left out
unintentionally, but whom are certainly not forgotten):
-
The late/ Dr James Mace, who through Morgan Williams (of
artukraine.com), originally
discovered the 'fabled' Gareth Jones by sheer accident on the
internet after the publication of 'Gareth Jones - A Manchukuo
Incidenr {as we as a family had at that time no idea; his
heroic deeds to the Ukrainian community in 2003, during the
Duranty Pulitzer Revocation Protest),
-
Russ & Karen Chelak of New Jersey (for their unreserved faith
and total support in our family's quest in remembering Gareth's
deeds); Also very worthy of thanks in the New York area are;
Victor Rudd, Andrew Stuttaford (of the 'National Review '-
for accidentally putting me on to the scent of Soviet complicity
in Gareth's murder), Michael Sawkiw, Pres. of the UCCA (for
inviting me to speak at St Patrick's Cathedral Panykhida)
and the staff; past and present, at the Ukrainian Weekly.
-
Prof. Federigo Argentieri of the John Cabot University, Rome
(for his wise academic direction and invitations to lecture
academically);
-
Prof. Lubomyr Luciuk for his sterling efforts in initiating a
tri-lingual plaque in memory of Gareth at Aberystwyth University
on 2nd May 2006. [Click
Here for details.]
-
Christine Sochocky (for chairing my academic panel at the
June 2006 Ukrainian studies conference the University of
Illinois at Urbana Champaign, where the Gareth's Soviet diaries
PowerPoint presentation was first debuted and for which we
allowed me to over-run my allotted speaking time by almost
20-minutes!),
-
Daria & Jurij
Darewych and Lisa Shymko from Toronto in November 2006(for
their organisational ability to get Gareth known
nationally on prime-time CBC radio).
-
In Ottawa,
Oksana Piasecky, Nykolai Bilaniuk, Myron Momryk and Irena Bell
for their help, and also to Borys Wrzesnewskyj, M.P (for his
courtesy in receiving me personally at Parliament).
-
In Montreal, Zorianna Hrycenko-Luhova was most instrumental in
first promoting Gareth's 'Famine Diaries' lecture tours after
seeing it it in Urbana, which indirectly undoubtedly led to
Gareth's inclusion within Bukovsky's film. [CLICK here for more
details.] Also best wished to Roman & Uliana Hucal {(and
their two dear boys, Michael & Andrew) for their hospitality},
Artem Luhovy (for my invitation to speak at McGill
University) and not forgetting the late Prof. Yarema Kelebay
(for his positively 'booming' encouragement & treasured
honorary McGill tie, which he bestowed me off his own
back, just because he could)! The highlight of my first
visit to Montreal however, was undoubtedly Gareth being
recognised in the Montreal City Hall 'Book of Honour'. [CLICK
HERE for photos from all of my 2006 Canadian tour.]
-
In 2007, I would like to thank following my Canadian lecture
tour, Michael Ilnycky and family in Calgary (including Stephan
Stan for personally showing me the Rockies at Banff).
-
In Winnipeg, many sincere thanks to the entire Holodomor
commemorations' organising committee of; Eugene (&
Zorianna) Hyworon, Father Jaroslaw Buciora, Olga Fuga, Valentina
Noseworthy (and not forgetting her husband for kitting me out
with necessary long johns, for the 'interesting' climatic
conditions, before delivering a lunchtime speech in front of
Winnipeg City Hall at -5°C).
Also, i must remember everyone at Canad Inns, but especially Leo
Ledohowski, their inspirational 'CEO', for his corporate drive &
sponsorship of the week-long diary of events, which enabled me
to meet twelve incredible famine survivors, whose individual
stories of suffering (and eventual freedom from Stalinism), an
experience, that I shall never forget, until the end of my days
- God bless them all,, as through them alone, I now understand
the true importance of my great uncle's deeds...Audiences with
both the Metropolitan & Catholic Ukrainian spiritual leaders was
very humbling,,,
-
WORK-IN-PROGRESS BELOW - 2008 has been an incredible year
for belated recognition of Gareth's memory...Meeting Mark
Edwards; 'The Living's' producer at the Ukrainian East
Village Restaurant in Manhattan was the catalyst of what was to
become.....
-
May I thank I thank the Ukrainian Diaspora of Chicago; Nestor
Papowich; Vera and especially the Holodomor the Movie's
personnel of Bobby & Marta...
-
The staff of the AUGB, including Fedir Kurlak as well as
the British Parliamentary Ukrainian-friendly MP',, but
especially we must thank Roman Revkniv (and his partner, Jan)
for his British aspect on Gareth's role and importance to the
Ukrainian community worldwide.,
-
From Wales, Alun Gibbard and Gareth Howe (who was named after
Gareth!)
-
And finally, absolute deference to everyone at Lystopad -Now let
the show roll on...
Everybody, who knows of Gareth's story is simply touched by
his
