SECTION iWPageS Hills Arts Council Keeping his dream alive Dear Sir The first time 1 met Ralph was about 10 years ago Having Just moved to Georgetown my husband and I were browsing through the arts and crafts displays at the Fall Fair to find gut what Arts activities were available Suddenly this tall man with a slight stoop and big bushy eyebrows thrust a flyer Into my hand that encouraged the need for a cultural centre in Town As we talked I noticed that despite his quiet manner his eyes gleamed with excitement at the pro spect or a gallery theatre complex Ralph Keith Barber and a handful of others were establishing an Arts Council to spearhead the project Ralph s enthusiasm was con tagious It wasn long before I became embroiled in meeting after meeting with him to promote the Arts Council or the cultural complex or just the Arts In general Every once in awhile I d think I could relax for a bit when Ralph would once again come up with a new idea and somehow I could never say no to his quests Developing the Arts and an awareness of them has targe at the high school level we shared It was his dream that such the belief that training we did in Policy would ensure future develop- the classroom should go the of his beloved Arts for yean to walls and be encouraged long after come with the support of the Town I the students had left school In this only hope that all who admired and hectic world there was a real need appreciated Ralph efforts over the for all the Art forms to be made tree- years will not allow his dream lyavailableandapprcciated shelved Oh there were times when Ralph To Enid his wife on behalf of the and I t always agree and he Hills Arts Council and who give me a hard look from under have benefited from and gained en brows and I d stare right back from his work may I ex both of us being very stubborn But pressourdeepestsympathy in the end wed find some com like so many others shall miss promise that would please us both Ralph very much

Individual and more He was tireless a plod a doer consistent talented In He was a walking of all the various aspects of the Arts Ralph was Mr Arts himself in Halton Hills From the beginning Ralph and 1 recognized In each other a mutual love of the Arts With him being a music teacher and me an art teacher The phrases that I kept hearing again and again last week at his funeral were Who will carry on with Ralph work Who can replace him Who will keep the Arts Council and his dreams alive Even after surgery last it wasn I long before he was once again dropping Information at door despite his physical frailty Personally I think that It will take a number of people to equal Ralph s abilities and The last time I saw Ralph was on Canada Day in the Glen With the same old gleam of excitement in his he once again was thrusting flyers Into the hands of passcrsby This time it was a quest Ion a Ire the results of which will determine a necessity for the establishment of an Arts Policy for Halton
