Family Photographs
I want to dedicate this site to my Father Paul Rodney Arthur who died
of Cancer May 12, 2001 and to my Mother Catherine Annette Arthur who died
of a Stroke March 31, 2002. These first two photos are perhaps my favourite
pictures I have of Dad. The first photo of Dad was his picture of when he
was in the Canadian Navy during WWII. The second was used for a book he
wrote on graphic design for the photo on the book jacket.
This
photo of Mom was taken when she met my Father and the second was taken a
few months before she died.
I would also like to dedicate this site to my Aunt Melissa
my Mother's Sister who inspired this site and my love of Charlie Chaplin.
She passed away August 9, 2006 of Cancer.
My
Brother Jonathan and I when we were little.
Dad, myself and my Stepmother Dinah who Dad married in 1981. This
was taken on the back porch of the cottage in Pointe Au Baril Ontario
which is in the Georgian Bay region.
This was taken when we scattered Dad's ashes in July of 2001. In
the back is my Stepsister Laura, my Brother Jonathan and Scott (Laura's
husband) holding Callum. I am in the front.
This is a view of our Island in the Georgian Bay which our cottage
was on. We sold the cottage three years before Dad died.
This photo is of my cat Phoenix being lazy as usual!!!
This is an updated photo of my Niece Katie (Kathryn) and Nephew
Callum taken at Halloween. Katie turned 4 on December 1 and Callum
turned 8 on Halloween.
This photo is of my
Honourary Nephew Ian born May 4, 2001. Proud parents are my friends
Lisa and Irwin.
My
name is Cally Specht. My full name is Carolyn however, I prefer Cally.
My birthday is August 27, 1962. I work as a telephone interviewer for
Ipsos Direct. I received my TESL Certification (Teaching English As
A Second Language) 2 years ago and also have my ECE Diploma. Some of
the things I really enjoy are cooking and reading, being with friends,
going to Sci-Fi conventions and to other Sci-Fi club events as well
as traveling. Some of the conventions and clubs I go to are listed below
in Favourite Links. I also love being at home and playing with my cat
Phoenix when not working or doing club type events. I really enjoy writing
and am a past contributor for the DWIN Newsletter Enlightenment and
was the Pen Pal Co-ordinator. I also like playing on the computer and
crafts like needlepoint and crewel. Furthermore, I love to watch old
movies especially Charlie Chaplin ones. Limelight is my all time favourite
Chaplin movie and has been since I found out my Aunt Melissa was in
it and helped to choreograph it! I also love to collect Chaplin memorabilia.
Some of my favourite books include Eleanor And Franklin By Joseph P.
Lash, QB VII By Leon Uris, The Diary Of Anne Frank, 7 Years In Tibet
By Heinrich Harrer, and any books By Ann Rule. I am often found on ICQ
talking to all my friends from around the world. YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU
ARE!!!!! Chaplin's complete Filmography can be found here as part of
David Gerstein's wonderful and very informative Charlie Chaplin Site:
