SUMMER 2011EDITOR’S DESKCounting the peasby Rod MacLeod“Schwartz’s is not a historic monument,but remove Schwartz’s and a wholepiece of Montreal falls into the river.”hese wise words uttered byDinu Bumbaru at QAHN’sWays of Memory conferencelast March came back to me amonth later as I opened an envelope onthe morning of my birthday to find tickets to Schwartz’s: The Musical at theCentaur Theatre. It was a great gift,even though I’d been skeptical that amusical about a deli could work, especially after hearing the experiences of afriend who had (unsuccessfully) auditioned for the part of a pickle. The showdid work; it’s fun – although you leavethe theatre not so much humming thetunes as, well, hungry. Of course wewent to Schwartz’s for the birthday supper, which says something for productplacement.But I thought of Bumbaru’s comment mostly because I realized howsmall a role Schwartz’s has played inmy life – even though I call myself aMontrealer. Our family patronizedBen’s – or rather “took from” Ben’s, touse one of my father’s idioms. (Hewould also say they “took from” theUnited Church.) In their courting days,he and my mother saw Ben’s as a greatlate-night food stop, its downtown location perfect for after theatre or clubs. Iknow there are plenty of things, goodand bad, to say about Ben’s, one ofwhich is that there will surely never bea Ben’s: The Musical, and another isthat its recent removal did not result in awhole piece of Montreal sliding into theriver – but I mourn its passing and reflect that no popular food spot deservesthe long and ugly death that Ben’s endured.If Ben’s did not go gently into thatgood restaurant night, another Montrealinstitution did: Murray’s. To be honest,when I heard not too long ago that thelast Murray’s had closed, I was surprised it had lasted so long. It had out-Tlived the bulk of its clientele, which issaying something. My memory of Murray’s from my youth, an image that Idoubt differed much from that of previous decades, was of genteel elderlyladies in hats, their fur-trimmed coatspeeled back over their chairs and theirpurses hanging from the hooks just under the table, conversing over slicedturkey with mashed potatoes and peas –plus either rolls or muffins, greasedwith those pats of butter that came sandwiched between tiny squares of paper.You ate with heavy, solid flatware andwere served by women in light bluedresses with enormous white bib-frontswho moved at great speed carrying hugeand often groaning round pewter trays.The menu never changed, the portionswere identical. My older cousin, forwhom lunch at Murray’s with Grandmawas a much-dreaded occasion for instruction in ladylike behaviour, maintained that the staff counted every peaon your plate before serving it.I have good memories of Murray’s– really, I do. Grandma lived across thestreet from the flagship Montreal restaurant in Westmount, and it was a niceplace to take her for lunch; by that timeshe was in her nineties and was beyondinstructing in ladylike behaviour –though I suspect my 1970s long hair often tempted her to try – but she stillflipped her coat backwards over thechair and kept her hat on while she ate.I liked these occasions, mostly becauseI could usually order pancakes – although my mother always insisted Ihave them with sausages, “for myhealth.” Years later, when my parentshad moved into that same building, wewould cross the street to Murray’s withmy young son, and he would charm thewaitresses with his placemat drawings.During the Ice Storm, we stayed a fewdays with my parents even after theylost power; luckily, Murray’s across thestreet was an island of warmth, and although it was packed with stormrefugees I would go down to buy take3out soup for my mother, who was bythen in very poor health. Not long after,that Murray’s closed and another, infinitely more lucrative chain whose nameI need not mention though it began withthe same letter as Murray’s, moved intothat choicest of locations. Sic transit,etc.Murray’s was not always genteel,or not all of them. One branch downtown that my Mother “took from” appealed to the late 1940s office crowdseeking lunch and was often so busy atlunchtime patrons had to share tables.Normally my mother sat with friendsand they liberally sampled each other’sfries while they gabbed, but on one infamous occasion she went in alone andwas seated at a small table across froman unfamiliar gent whose open Gazettegave her some privacy. Her mind onsomething else, my mother suddenly realized that, force of habit, she hadreached out and seized one of this gent’sfries – and was immediately so horrorstricken that she froze in mid-seize.Luck being what it was, the gent chosethat moment to lower his Gazette andpeer down at her outstretched hand.Their eyes met briefly, hers agape.“Help yourself,” the gent said, and resumed reading. She did – and beat ahasty retreat back to work. No, nothingromantic came from that encounter, butit proves that even Murray’s had the potential for danger.Research reveals that the interior ofeach Murray’s restaurant was designedto match a uniform, vaguely Art Decomodel designed by architect C DavisGoodman, who was also responsible forthe Laurentian Hotel and, curiously,Ben’s. On those grounds alone, onemight have made a strong case for theHeritage merits of Murray’s, as manydid for Ben’s. No matter now – Murray’s, too, is gone, fallen into that riverfrom which no restaurant returns, everylast pea of it.
QUEBEC HERITAGE NEWSLettersMemories of Marianna O’GallagherOn February 26, 2005, she gave a concise yet very informative overview ofthe historical context of the presence ofthe Irish in Quebec City. Those whoknew her can imagine that she regaledus with a few gems of personal reminiscences as well. After this much-appreciated contribution to our afternoon, sheasked to borrow our notes since ourarchives often mention the county oforigin of the sisters. When she returnedour notes, she included two pages of additional information on the families offifteen sisters -- a touching proof of herdesire to share her many years of research.We will fondly remember hersprightly wit and unassuming erudition.An Irish blessing on all who honour her memory andstrive to further her scholarly research on the presenceand contribution of the Irish in Quebec!n 2004, in an effort to further document the influence and legacy of our sisters of Irish descent, weat Musée Bon-Pasteur consulted the annals andobituaries of our Congregation.We then proceeded to organize a presentation ofthis research, open to the public. In the course of theproject, it was suggested that we contact Ms. MariannaO’Gallagher as a resource person.

There is a Boer War memorialin Quebec City, just inside the gates on Grande-Allée.Both my English-born maternal grandfather and hisbrother learned French and became senior officers inthe Montreal Fire Department.My family and the Anglophones that I knew neverviewed the victory of the English army over the Frencharmy in 1759 as being of much importance. It was afact of history. One European country defeated anotherin a battle long ago. France and England settled thatwar with a treaty. France could have recovered Quebec, but instead chose some islands in the Caribbean.Francophones should never have felt "humiliation" atthe loss of a battle by a European nation back in 1759.History, at least as taught by the PSBGM schoolsthat I attended, had a very strong Quebec and Canadiancomponent. Although now forgotten, we learned aboutJacques Cartier, Champlain, Brébeuf, the Lachine massacre, and the 1837-1838 Rebellions.

In my view, it issad if the role of Anglophones in Quebec is ignored inhistory courses.I grew up in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s, attended PSBGM schools and graduated from McGill in1968. I left Quebec to attend graduate school and, forone reason or other, never returned to Quebec.Despite my departure, my family has a long history in Quebec.

SUMMER 2011The Jailhouse Rocks!QAHN’s AGM at the Morrin Centreby Matthew Farfanelegates from all over the province descended on Quebec City on June 18 for QAHN’s11th Annual General Meeting. Representatives from several dozen QAHN memberorganizations came to North America’s onlywalled capital city from around Quebec, including the Gaspé, the Outaouais, the Eastern Townships, the Laurentians, Montrealand Quebec City itself.The host for this year’s gathering wasthe Morrin Centre in the old city. This storied institution, a national historic site, dateslearning affiliated with McGill University. At thatsame time, the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec also moved into the former prison. The “Lit &Hist,” as the Society is often called, was founded inD1824, and was the first learned society in Canada.A century and a half later, the Lit & Hist still occupies the Morrin Centre, as the building is nowknown. The Society operates a library on the secondfloor. Found here are some wonderful artefacts fromQuebec’s past, including a statue of General Wolfethat was once stolen and transported to England.There’s a desk that once belonged to Sir George-Étienne Cartier and now serves as a library work station.Overlooking the main floor of the library is a wraparound gallery, accessed by a carved spiral staircase.The walls on both levels are lined with books.In the other wing of the Morrin Centre, the oldcollege hall has been converted into a spacious conference room. Here again, a gallery similar to the one inthe library overlooks the room. This wing of the building proved ideal for QAHN’s AGM.The business part of the AGM took place in themorning, with about forty-five delegates and individual members in attendance. Following the presentationof the financial statements by Treasurer RichardEvans, President Kevin O’Donnell reported thatQAHN had enjoyed one of its busiest years to date –particularly in light of the big-budget HOMEI andSHOMI projects, which he called QAHN’s "outstanding achievements of the year." O’Donnell also calledattention to QAHN’s two Ways of Memory conferences, held in Orford and Montreal, and to the organi-from between 1808 and 1813. Its first vocation was asthe city prison. In 1868, the prison was converted intoMorrin College, a Presbyterian-run school of higherLeft: Morrin
