Hello Peter,<br>
<br>
An interesting question . . . You probably have these already? . . . <br>
<br>
Two articles (no photos, alas) from the <u>Ubyssey</u>, the University
of British Columbia campus newspaper, mention Clement May being in
Vancouver on 10 March 1944, giving a performance and a lecture on
campus.<br>
<br>
(1) <a

<br>
(2) <a

<br>
If he was at UBC on 10 March 1944, he might also have been giving other
performances in Vancouver at the time and might have been written up in
the city newspapers, perhaps with a photo? Likewise, have you tried
any of the Victoria or Vancouver newspapers of the time? I think they
are indexed.<br>
<br>
(3) A lecture Clement May gave to the Empire Club in Toronto on 5 Dec
1935:<br>

<br>
<br>
(4) There is an item (#1.37, Series 3: Articles) in the Gary Campbell
fonds in the University of Victoria Special Collections titled "Clement
May"<br>

<br>
(5) When you say May was "based at Victoria, BC from 1945 until his
death in 1964"
does that imply Clement May died in Victoria or British Columbia in
1964? because, I searched the Vital Records/Death Records in the
on-line BC Archives and came up with only 6 persons with last name
"May" who died in 1964 and none of them are named Clement.<br>
