The release of 94-year-old Douglas Hall's latest book has been an inspiration for many at his retirement home east of Toronto.
So much so, the staff members of Amica Whitby put on a murder mystery performance for residents inspired by his fourth book in aThe series follows police officer turned private investigator Paul West, explained Hall.
"I thought it was god awful," said Hall. "The characters were not believable, his plot, you could shoot a cannon through it. So she said to me, 'do you think you can do better?' And I said, 'if I couldn't, I'd quit.' She said 'do it', and I said, 'on one condition, you edit.'" "She's still editing," said Hall, "it's just slower. Well anybody who has somebody with Alzheimer's knows what I'm talking about. Her attention span is slower, and she'll only do one page or page and a half a day, which is fine. I got all the time in the world."
"He's written so many novels and he's been so kind to share them with our residents and us as team members," said Alyssa Almeida, life enrichment coordinator, "so it's been really great to take that inspiration and spin it into something all residents can enjoy."
