Your Worship - continued from page 31 tics, wintering in Florida. But opportunity came knocking yet again. “One of the regional councillors (Reg Rose) was also an Anglican minister. The church told him to decide be- tween callings. That created an opening on council. Step- ping into that job was like becoming a deputy mayor.” A cancer scare at age 69 ended Lawrence's run in poli- tics once and for all. He took an interest in gardening and has served the church as treasurer and clerk of session. Our discussion concluded and together we toured Lawrence's study. The room is chock full of mementoes of a political life well spent: a grandfather clock which was a gift from the Region of Durham, photographs and plaques, a handful of old campaign cards. As well, one item which might not seem to fit: a modern keyboard. “Lawrence gets great pleasure from that instrument,” Gwen confides. “He plays well for a man of his years.” “You have to stay mentally active to stay young,” Lawrence adds. Even a casual observer can see that Lawrence Malcolm has remained young, both in spirit and mind. And it’s just as clear his political acumen hasn’t slipped an inch, either.
