Parenteau, 31, is a Nelson composer, arranger and inno- vator who has put together a remarkably portable creation in which his music literally swirls around the theatre. Known for his work in films, radio and TV, Parenteau be- gan working on his symphony last year.

Alfred Hitchcock used its eerie sounds to produce special effects in his movies. “The instruments works on radio principles,” says Fred Nachbaur, Parenteau’s techni- cal collaborator. “Just like you can improve your reception by putting your hand near your radio, Gilles can control his input by how far he is from the Theremin.” Parenteau says his sym- phony — a blend of movie themes, the classics and orig- inal work — is a statement about technology. “You can’t stop mankind from developing, but it’s all in the matter of being mature and knowing how to use it. “We must remember our ancestors and what they’re learned through time.” Are you a Closet Couturier? for you.

He was settled in his new quarters but the tone of the letter was subdued and lonely. I expected therefore a long dry spell, but I was mis- taken. His letter took awhile getting here but his faith had struck roots, his enthusiasm has overcome his difficulties and flourishes like a green tree. July 23, 1992 Dear Jack and Bunny: 1) I’m still glad and grateful to back in Ecuador, the Promised Land. 2) I’ve almost lost sight of my desk, as once again it is weighed down and hidden by letters from family and friends like you, just as it was “in the good old days”. 3) It’s just turned 2 p.m., and the sun is shining bright- ly. Because of our 9,300-foot al- titude and consequent rarified air, it is cool and even cold ex- cept in the direct sunlight. 4) My front garden is ablaze with chrysanthemum-like blossoms of orange and yellow- gold; the side garden is being fitted with a cage to house some of my remaining birds from the original “Diospaj Nan” and the back patio is a ready-made pen for my 300- pound, 120-year-old Galapa- gos turtle which a long-time friend gave me last week. Reflections and Recollections John CHARTERS 5) My ’81 Mazda van has been equipped with a new, sec- ond-hand motor and is almost roadworthy. Friends with li- censes and with better eyes than mine are willing to take turns being my chauffeurs. 6) My old fishtanks have been scrubbed and re-filled with a variety of fish that have already reproduced over 100 offspring.. My conscientious cook, housekeeper and her son not only look after me but also my animal family which in- cludes two parakeets in a cage by my desk. 7) Slowly my library of books, both Spanish and Eng- lish, is being transferred from the Middle-of-the-World to the middle of Quito. Here, I trust, it will serve a wider range of people and also provide re- source material while I re- assemble my museum... and for my writing projects on Ecuadorian culture and the Christian life. 8) My sister Barbara’s birth- day is today and I'll be sending her a belated birthday card. It should serve as a (Canadian) national holiday, but it doesn’t. Simon Bolivar, liberator of Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia from the Spanish yoke was born in Caracas, Venezuela on July 24, 1783. His birthday will be cel- ebrated tomorrow, Ps in case you're interest- ed: 1) My first houseguests ar- rived on the night of July 14 in the persons of Angela Smith and her aunt Joyce, daughter and sister of good friends of mine in Victoria. Following a week with me here in Quito adjusting to life in this partic- ular Latin culture, they moved to a camp in the jungle to help in its development and service. It’s a privilege to be their host and foster father, and I'll be sorry to see them leave. Now that they have tested the new twin beds, Lucy’s cooking and life in general here in the paradise of the Americas, it’s your turn to travel south. 2) One week from today I’m to be a three-hour patient at Quito’s brand new Urology Clinic, staffed by specialists trained in Spain. A series of tests this week satisfied the doctors that I am an ideal can- didate for the new, computer- ized, bloodless method of re- moving both the prostate and its related problems. Unfortunately I’m consid- ered neither a charity nor a free test case, but it’s appar- ently less expensive than surgery would be, and involved less risk for my weakened heart. 3) At last I have a young missionary friend who has willingly accepted me as his patient. One day, perhaps, my heart history will arrive from Victoria. 4) My eyesight is no better, so I’m waiting on God to gra- ciously realize a miracle. Nan family”. All but a dozen of the 142 children, young people and staff have graduated or de- parted and are living and working elsewhere. The phone and doorbell have become mu- sic to my ears. eee July 23, 1992 Most of today has been spent in trying to finish the let- ‘Thank you for your prayers, letters, encouragement and your continued love and friendship.’ 5) Our new president, one- time Quito Mayor Sixto Duran Ballen, was elected on July 5 and will be inaugurated on Aug. 10, another national hol- iday. The first shouts for inde- pendence echoed through the city on Aug. 10, 1809. Because Quito led the rest of South America in the strug- gle for freedom from Spain (and inspired by the Revolu- tionary Wars in France and North America) the city is still called Quito, Light of America. Viva Quito! 6) The group that meets in my front room each Sunday morning for fellowship, prayer and Bible study is beginning to pulse with new life, and some of the spiritual needs of those who attend are being met. 7) I’m in contact at last with most of my extensive “Diospaj ter I started yesterday, in set- ting in order my new home which is furnished with the leftovers of 30 years’ living and collecting. I’ve likely quoted St. Fran- cis of Assisi’s prayer in bygone years which begins “Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace” and is sung or prayed in churches every- where. I like it because it still rings a concordant not in my own heart. Thank you for your prayers, letters, encouragement and your continued love and friendship. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Gratefully and with much love, John Munday and friends and family
