West Windsor is "Olde Sandwhiche Towne".
During
the prohibition era in the USA, Michigan was "dry" and Windsor, being in Canada, was "wet". There
emerged rum runner gangs. The Windsor Star's religion page editor
Marty Gervais published a respectable history of the rum runner days. At some point Gervais spun off some of his research on Windsor's prohibition era history and
wrote a play about a pro-temperance priest. Terry, as Arts Editor, went to
his play and ran a review for it in The Lance. I think Terry savaged
his play. The original headline Terry wanted for his review was something
like "Crucifixion too good for Gervais" but the editor Larry Deck
thought maybe that might be going too far."
Gervais read Terry's savage review and
commented to Martin Deck at his South Shore bookstore "I don't think
Terry quite got my play."
