Please help identify the anonymous FISM registration

Updated at 10:20 to add (with permission from Joan):

• Joan's e-mail address is: jcaesar [at] sentex [dot] ca

From Joan Caesar:

Someone from Quebec registered for FISM through a wire transfer. Unfortunately, they forgot to include their name or address, so FISM has no idea who it is. If the person could contact me, we could get it straightened out.

If you don't know how to contact Joan, let me know and I will pass your information along to her.

Sean Watson in the Shaunavon Standard

From the Shaunavon Standard:

Illusionist Sean Watson has a pretty impressive trick.

He can make people . . . appear.

A full house took in the first-ever Christ the King School Spring Gala on Friday night.

The sold out crowd – which numbered 160 people – were treated to a great meal and an entertaining show. 

“It turned out to be a terrific night,” said Stephanie Nelson, a member of the school’s community council which organized the event. “I think people really enjoyed themselves and we were able to raise some money.”

Looking for information about Guy Stanley

Updated on May 17th to add:

• Success!  Read about it at "Connecting John Smithman to Guy Stanley"

Can anyone help out this Magic Cafe member looking for information about Guy Stanley?

From the Magic Cafe:

I met GUY STANLEY in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1962. He and I were training as pilots. We were both in our late teens. His hobby was magic - a very skilled magician. My hobby was photography. The sands of time separated us during our military days. Now I'd like to find him and reconnect. Does anyone in this group know of a very good magician named Guy Stanley? He would be 70ish today if he is still alive. Guy turned me on to magic at that time and it subsequently became my second hobby. Now, I live in the area where he lived when he joined the Airforce - Vancouver, British Columbia.
