Beschreibung:
A resident of Oakville, Ontario, Maud Jocelyn McLean's varied and extensive background includes a number of years in the teaching of music, Canadian history and English literature. Her background also involves public speaking and, for seven years, as Joy McLean, she was heard daily on the CBC National Radio program "Kindergarten of the Air."
The Edgars lives symbolized the increasing complexity of Toronto society as older generations gradually gave way to a new generation of "outsiders" seeking prominence.
