Eimear O'Neill on the 9th Spoonful of Honey Circle:
"We had an extraordinary Youth Elder circle here Monday night with 91 year old Stanley Grizzle, author of "My Name's Not George", black labour organiser and history buff, citizenship judge, jazz singer and charmer! We got wonderful footage that will probably end up in Ottawa's archives with the rest of Stan's papers and artifacts. And we gave him the attached painting (Words Over Action) of Obama done by my son, artist Jeremy Bennison. The multi-media project will be itself an archive of elders filmed in environments that bring out what is soulful instead of just academic or staged. A Spoonful of Honey attracts a diversity of youths, elders and artists. Can't wait for the film! Editing will be done as a group project over the next two months."
