David F. Aberle was an American anthropologist and author. Born in 1918 in St. Paul, Minnesota, Aberle completed a Ph.D. in Anthropology at Columbia University in 1947. After returning from a stint overseas during World War II, Aberle began teaching at Harvard University between 1947 and 1950. Having worked in New Mexico studying the Navajo and Hopi for two summers in 1949 and 1950, Aberle worked for the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs in Window Rock, Arizona, where he developed an enduring interest in Navajo culture and land rights in the Southwestern United States.
Pursuing extensive field research in Arizona in the 1960s and into the 1970s and 1980s, Aberle studied Navajo kinship patterns, economic development and the Peyote religion among the Navajo. He also became an active participant in the Navajo-Hopi land dispute before the American courts in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, centred on the issues surrounding historical land occupation, removal to Reservation lands, land use and grazing rights between the Navajo and Hopi tribes in Arizona. Aberle collaborated on various exploratory reports on the subject and participated in an American Anthropological Association Ad Hoc Panel on Navajo-Hopi land claims, making recommendations to the courts and government agencies involved in the case.
From 1952 to 1960, Aberle taught in the Departments of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Michigan, moving to Brandeis University in 1961 and the University of Oregon in 1963. Aberle and his wife, Kathleen Gough Aberle, also a professor at Brandeis and Oregon, left the United States in the wake of some controversy surrounding Gough's stated position regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis, which Aberle supported. Both Gough and Aberle were known to have Marxist leanings and openly challenged the U.S.'s position toward Cuba and the war in Vietnam and actively sought university postings in Canada. Moving to Vancouver, Aberle taught at UBC in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology from 1967, becoming Professor Emeritus in 1984.
The contributor to several volumes, and author of many essays and articles, in 1962, Aberle published the book Chahar and Dagor Mongol Bureaucratic Administration: 1912-1945. In 1966, Aberle published The Peyote Religion among the Navajo and in 1974, he published Lexical Reconstruction: The Case of the Proto-Athapaskan Kinship System with Isidore Dyen. The majority of Aberle's academic career was focused on his work with the Navajo in the Southwestern U.S. David Aberle died in 2004.

Darryl Adams was born on September 19, 1947 in Portsmouth, Virginia to parents Harry and Kate Adams. He was the first of five sons. In 1959, the Adams family moved to Poway California, a suburb of San Diego. Adams was a member of the first class to graduate from the newly constructed Poway High School in 1961.

Adams became interested in political activism and social justice at a young age. In particular, Adams became interested in Marxist-Leninist philosophy. While he was still in high school, Adams would attend lectures and meetings at the University of California and other political events around Poway and San Diego. After graduating from high school, Adams was enrolled at the Revelle Campus of the University of California where he studied philosophy. It was there that Adams became more heavily involved in political activism events that were being experienced throughout the United States in the mid 1960s, including the Free Speech Movement and other Anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. In 1966, Adams moved to Santa Cruz with several of his high school friends, where he continued to attend anti war rallies. He would also meet with other philosophers in the area who also believed in Marxist-Leninism philosophy.

In late 1967, Adams received a draft notice from the US Government. In order to avoid being conscripted into the US Army, he and Shelia left California and came to Vancouver in March of 1968. Even in Vancouver, Adams maintained his interest in social justice and other political activism movements. He was a core member of the Vancouver American Exiles Association (VAEA), which campaigned against the America's continuing involvement in the Vietnam War, and for amnesty for Americans who came to Canada to escape the draft. In 1976, Adams received amnesty from the United States Government, although he opted to stay in Vancouver.

In addition to this and other Anti-Vietnam War movements in Canada, Adams was also interested in other movements, such as: labour rights for the working class; women's rights; rights for Indigenous people and minority groups; political movements in Latin and South America; and, communist, socialist, and Marxist-Leninist movements in Vancouver, Canada, and the United States.

Adams interest in social justice is reflect through his career as a researcher and consultant. Upon his arrival in Canada in 1969 to 1971, Adams worked as researcher for SFU Instructor John Legget, researching "blue collar consciousness" in East Vancouver. In 1971 to 1973, Adams worked at the Vancouver Public Library, where he also worked as a researcher specifically in the Historic Photographic Section of the Library. From 1975 to 1977, Adams was hired by the Legal Service Commission of BC, where he worked as a Public School Legal Education Advisor. After working a few years as a freelance writer and researcher, Adams moved into the Health Sector, where he worked as a consultant for the Coast Foundation Society from 1980-1985, and then the Canadian Mental Health Association in 1987. In all of these positions, Adams worked as an advocate for the working class and rights for minority groups. In 1999, Adams passed away in his home in Vancouver.

Jeff Adams is a six-time world champion in Wheelchair Sports. He competed for Canada at six consecutive Paralympics (1988-2008), winning three gold, four silver, and six bronze medals. He was inducted into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame in 1997.

Born in 1900 at Ridgetown, Ontario, to Dr. Del and Eunice Marr, Frances was the eldest of three siblings. Although the family was shaken by the death of her younger brother Charles at the age of three, and despite an early problem with stuttering, Frances Marr remained an optimistic person, devoted to her father and fascinated with the piano. Frances began playing the piano at an early age under the tutelage of Whitney Scherer. Later she would study with Thomas Martin at Alma College in St. Thomas. Eventually, Frances moved to Toronto to study at the Conservatory of Music under Paul Wells. Although she felt her study under Wells was unproductive, it was at this time that she had the opportunity to play her first professional accompanist engagement. At this engagement, she met her future husband, Harry Adaskin, whom she would marry in 1926. Initially, Frances would accompany her new husband and his band, the Hart House String Quartet, on their many tours throughout North America and Europe. In 1938, Harry Adaskin quit the quartet. He and Frances began to tour, with Frances' piano the sole accompaniment to Harry's violin. During this period, she would strike out on her own, appearing in the ensemble music and comedy act "The Town Tonics." In 1946 the couple and Harry's younger half-brother Gordon, whom the couple raised as a son, moved to Vancouver. Harry was offered a job with the new Music Department at The University of British Columbia. Frances was to accompany him to every class until his retirement in 1973. Interestingly, Frances Adaskin played her first solo recital at 75 and continued to play until shortly before her 90th birthday.
Frances Adaskin's accomplishments in music are many. However, she was an entertaining writer writing humorous anecdotes and stories. Many of which were published by Saturday Night Magazine in the 1940s. She also wrote her memoirs, entitled Fran's Scrapbook: A Talking Dream, in book form, which, as of 2002, remains unpublished. However, the crowning achievement of a lifetime of artistic achievement occurred in 1976 when Frances was awarded the Order of Canada. Frances Adaskin died in 2001.

Born the brother of musician Harry Adaskin, Gordon was adopted by Harry and his wife Frances at the age of five, after his father's death. Although Gordon's birth mother, Rifle, was still alive, she allowed the Adaskins to adopt Gordon, following the elder Adaskin's dying wish. Gordon moved to Vancouver in 1946 and attended University Hill Junior School. However, he would forego his final year at University Hill to attend the Vancouver Art School. Subsequently, Gordon toured Europe, paying particular attention to the museums and galleries of Italy. Returning to Canada, Adaskin went to the Alberta College of Art and taught at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Architecture. He remained there for over twenty-five years. His artwork was regularly exhibited at the university and in touring shows, two of which visited Vancouver, the home of his parents.
Adaskin, a visual artist, was also an interviewer and commentator on art and artists. He interviewed many of the leading Canadian artists of the mid-twentieth century, including B.C. Binning and Jack Shadbolt. In the early 1990s, Gordon moved to Gibsons, British Columbia and married Jan Busch, his second wife, in April 1997. Gordon Adaskin died in December 2001.

Harry Adaskin was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1901 and later emigrated with his family to Toronto. As a child, he learned to play the violin, and at the age of twelve, he entered the Toronto Conservatory of Music. In 1923 he and three colleagues formed the Hart House String Quartet, in which Adaskin played the second violin. Sponsored by Vincent and Alice Massey, it was the first Canadian musical quartet to make an international reputation. The quartet made many concert tours of North America and Europe, and in 1928 played at Maurice Ravel's New York debut. In 1938 he resigned from the quartet, and as a freelance musician, combined musical performance with a broadcasting career. His wife, pianist Frances Marr Adaskin, undertook several concert tours throughout Canada and the United States. For several seasons in the 1940s, Adaskin was an intermission commentator for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra's Sunday afternoon concerts, heard throughout Canada. He also hosted several CBC Radio programmes, including Musically Speaking and, later, Tuesday Night. In 1946, he became head of the new Department of Music at UBC, which he held until 1958. He continued as a professor until his retirement in 1973. His circle of friends and acquaintances included Emily Carr, members of the "Group of Seven," Vincent Massey, Frank Lloyd Wright, and other prominent artists. Adaskin received the Order of Canada in 1974 and honorary doctorates from Simon Fraser University in 1979, and UBC in 1980. He died in 1994.

The job at Cominco involved transfers that took AFB to Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver, where he would live until the end of his life at South Granville Park Lodge.

Italian Renaissance scholar Danilo Aguzzi-Barbagli was born in Arezzo, Italy, in 1924. After completing undergraduate work in Italy, he received his Dottore in Lettere from the University of Florence in 1949 and Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University in 1959. Aguzzi-Barbagli began his teaching career at Vassar College, New York (1955/56), before moving on to the University of Chicago (1959-1964) and then Tulane University (1964-1971). He joined the University of British Columbia's Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies as a professor in 1971. He taught courses, published and lectured in the Italian language, Italian literature (from the late Middle Ages to the seventeenth century), and comparative literature. After retiring from UBC, Aguzzi-Barbagli died in 1995. The following year an excellent collection of sixteenth and seventeenth-century books collected by Aguzzi-Barbagli were donated to the UBC Library by Hannibal Noce.

Rose Amann, known by the stage name “Misty Rose,” was born on April 3, 1957 in Montreal, Quebec. Her mother, who emigrated from Germany on her own discovered she was pregnant after arriving in Montreal. Rose was cared for by other family while her mother worked, and later married a man who legally adopted Rose.

In 1965, Amann and her family moved to the small farming community of Rothsay, Ontario, where she attended elementary school. In school, Rose saw her first musical play which sparked her interest in performing on stage. At the age of 17, after completing grade 11 in July 1974, she decided to leave home and relocated to Kitchener, Ontario. During these years, Rose worked full-time on a factory assembly line. After work she would walk downtown and sit on benches to read. One evening, she decided to enter the bar in the Grand Union Hotel where she witnessed the go-go dancing scene. The manager offered her a job as a go-go dancer on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, despite Rose only being 17 at the time.

From 1974 to 1979, Amann danced as a go-go dancer while also working full time in various factories. She and her husband decided to relocate to British Columbia in 1979, the job market was down at the time and Rose sought out go-go dancing jobs in Vancouver. She contacted an Entertainment-Agency in the yellow pages hiring exotic dancers, and set up a meeting with an agent, John “Jack” Card. Mr. Card was one of Vancouver’s premier night club show choreographers, he shared how the dancing arrangements worked and invited Amann to watch one of the live shows at Isy’s Supper Club. The stage shows were a mix of burlesque, exotic dance, comedy and magic, and Amann began her career as an exotic dancer (stripper) in January 1980.

Between 1980 and 1990, Misty Rose performed at various venues around Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and elsewhere in British Columbia. Misty Rose expanded her dancing skills through watching older dancers and gathering stage ideas from MTV. The dancing community varied in performance, talent and dance genre, and frequently supported each other with childcare. At 33, in 1990 Rose transitioned from dancing and began exploring other career and educational paths. She completed her Grade 12, earned a Diploma in Small Business Management and completed some esthetician, dental hygienist, and flight attendant courses. Amann took a job at Brussels Chocolates in Kitsilano (1990-1993), and later work as a Medical Office Assistant at various locations from 1993 to 2022.

Peter Anderson was born in 1950 in Detroit, Michigan, to architect Donald Carl Anderson and schoolteacher Phyllis Anderson (Beet).
He attended the Residential College at the University of Michigan from 1968-1972, where he studied creative writing under the mentorship of Warren Jay Hecht and received three Hopwood awards for fiction and poetry. He was one of the first graduates of the Residential College’s Creative Writing program, receiving a B.A. in English with honors.
After graduating, Peter remained in Ann Arbor, Michigan, working as managing editor at Street Fiction Press, and co-founding the satirical political comedy troupe Peachy Cream Productions. In 1973 his first play, The Banana from Outer Space, was produced by the RC Players. His second play, The Janitors (co-written with Warren Jay Hecht), was produced two years later.
1n 1975 Peter left Ann Arbor to study clown and mime under Carlo Mazzone Clementi at the Dell’Arte School of Mime and Comedy (now the Dell’Arte School of Physical Theatre) in Blue Lake, California. After completing his studies in 1977, he hitch-hiked to British Columbia to audition for the Caravan Stage Company, a horse-drawn theatre company founded by Paul and Nans Kirby, and was cast in the summer touring production of Hands Up! to play the lead role of the legendary train robber Bill Miner. After contributing several scenes to the collectively-created script, Peter was commissioned by artistic director Nick Hutchinson to write a play for the following season. The play, The Coyotes, toured the North Okanagan and Alberta and was documented in the 1978 NFB film Horse Drawn Magic. It was during rehearsals that year that Peter met the love of his life, artist/maskmaker/playwright Melody Anderson. Their life-long partnership and ongoing artistic collaboration has spanned decades and numerous productions. The Coyotes also marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between Peter and Nick that continued when the Caravan Stage Company (later the Caravan Farm Theatre) settled in Armstrong, B.C. on an eighty-acre farm. After Nick’s retirement as artistic director, Peter found a new and exciting collaborator in artistic director Estelle Shook and continued his close association with the Caravan Farm Theatre.
Over the years, Peter has authored over a dozen plays for the Caravan, including The Coyotes, Law of the Land, The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw, Head Over Heels, The Blue Horse, Coyotes’ Christmas, Sleigh-Ride Christmas Carol, The Second Shepherds’ Play, Horseplay (co-written with Phil Savath), Bull by the Horns, Animal Farm, and the Mystery Cycle trilogy: Creation, Nativity & Passion. In 2017, the Caravan programmed three years of Peter’s early plays, all with new revisions.
Throughout his many years with the Caravan, Peter has maintained a parallel career in Vancouver theatre as both a playwright and performer (including a one-year stint doing stand-up comedy). His playwriting credits include the internationally-produced Rattle in the Dash; adaptations of Don Quixote (with Colin Heath), Lysistrata and Eurydice; the libretto for a micro-opera Aftermath and a song cycle 4 Horses with composer Jennifer Butler; and The Emperor’s New Threads (a theatre-for-young audiences play co-written with Melody Anderson). Peter was also a co-creator and original performer in Axis Theatre’s The Number 14, a comedy set on a city bus featuring Melody Anderson’s masks, that toured nationally and internationally for twenty years.
As a performer, Peter is perhaps most well-known for his lead role in The Overcoat (Morris Panych & Wendy Gorling’s movement-theatre production) which drew heavily on his clowning and physical theatre skills. He received both Gemini and Leo best actor nominations for the filmed version of the play. Other acting credits include Slobberjaw in the 2019 revival of his 1978 play The Coyotes, Coyote in the 2018 revival of his 1982 play Law of the Land (Caravan Farm Theatre), Titus in The Society for the Destitute Presents Titus Bouffonius (Rumble Theatre), three productions of Waiting For Godot (in which he’s played Vladimir twice and Lucky once), numerous shows for Vancouver’s Leaky Heaven Circus, various roles in The Tosca Project (American Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco); the lead role in his and Colin Heath’s adaptation of Don Quixote (Arts Club/Centaur/Axis); and the lead role in the premiere production of Morris Panych’s 7 Stories.
He’s the recipient of eight Jessie Richardson Awards for playwriting and acting, a Bay Area Critics’ Circle Award for ensemble performance (The Tosca Project), a Victoria Theatre Critic’s Award for Best Actor (Waiting for Godot), a NY Drama Desk nomination (The Number 14), and Gemini, Leo, Dora Mavor Moore and Betty Mitchell nominations for Best Actor (The Overcoat).
