Portrayal of Alexander McDonald, Dalvay-by-the-Sea 100th Anniversary - 1999

     In the fall of 1999 I portrayed Alexander McDonald, builder of Dalvay-by-the-Sea, at a special event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the building of this magnificent summer home on Prince Edward Island's north shore.
