Bruce Maguire and his delightful companion, Theresa Tursellino, just spent five days on Prince Edward Island with HG/BSK. Couldn’t ask for better and more thoughtful guests. Tidy, energetic and resourceful, Bruce was constantly helpful and (technology never defeats him) managed to coax HG’s CD changer to function. As for Theresa T. The lovely woman is a paragon. When a meal ends, Theresa does the cleanup. And, that includes greasy pots and pans. She doesn’t even ask “Can I help ?” She just goes to work with maximum efficiency. The B & T visit was filled with beach walks (Basin Head and Skunk House Road), a variety of weather changes plus much feasting. Lobster rolls at The Lobster Shack facing Rollo Bay in the Town of Souris and fried haddock tacos at Red’s food truck on The Town of Montague waterfront. Home meals featured Digby Bay scallops, local lobster and steamer clams; Atlantic haddock and Nova Scotia salmon (BSK’s sorrel sauce gave the salmon a Paris lushness). Fourth of July was celebrated with no military flourishes but a BSK Ohio dessert, Tin Roofs (vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and Planter’s Salty Cocktail Peanuts). HG was Bruce’s mentor and father figure at the beginning of Bruce’s very successful public relations career. HG considers Bruce as HG’s Irish son. B & T left early this morning and didn’t awaken their hosts. They left behind a gracious note and happy memories.
