Dear Demetrios:

XXIXth Mayor Of Edmonton Terence (Terry) James Cavanaugh has the distinction of been made "interim" mayor twice, but twice failed to win a term of his own outright. Terry was a great guy, I assembled signs for him & did literature drops on both Alderman/Councilor as well as his IInd failed Mayoral run. Picked with respect to take over when Mayor Hawrelak died by his City Council colleagues, Terry ably steered the ship until the next Civic Election. Terry was a respected purchaser in the mining industry, & also worked for various charities, he really had a good heart. Off Council for 6 years, Terry's wife, Mrs. June Cavanaugh sat for a term on Council from MCMLXXX-MCMLXXXIII in his stead. I love her name as my moms you can imagine was Mrs. June C. Koopmans! Terry also taught communication courses at Victoria Composite High School, NAIT, & the U Of A! The first Edmonton-born Mayor, he really loved this city! Terry was a teammate of Gordie Howe in the Ontario Hockey Association!

91 Years & 151 Days,

Rory
