What! We were barely into Confederation, a mere trifling 16 years, and here was a Newfoundlander, up there no less, in the lead role of a national television drama. My Lord, now wasn’t that something. One of our own crowd passing on to the rest of the country a taste of the talent, and one of the finest tastes let me tell you, that Newfoundland — small in size, prodigious in creativity, fresh in the Confederation basket — had to offer.
We drop the word “love” too easily these days — afternoon talk shows and impulsive displays of gush have just about bottomed out its real force. But when I say Newfoundlanders loved Gordon Pinsent, and why therefore there’s a real and deep sadness over his passing, I mean the word as much as that word really means.
There was a rehearsal the day before the show. It ended fairly close to midnight, and I walked with Gordon a ways to wherever he was staying. It was quite an amazing experience.
