In the tradition of “The Newsy Notes of Great Village” (which
appeared regularly in the Truro Daily
News) I offer a brief account of a visitor to Nova Scotia:
Recently, I had the great delight to meet with Tiago Barbosa
da Silva, a Brazilian Bishop scholar who visited Nova Scotia this month. Tiago is working on
a PhD dissertation at Universidade Federal Du Pernambuco.(https://www.ufpe.br/ ). He has been at the University of Ottawa
working with Dr. David Jarraway. He and his partner Jalinson Jonas spent a
couple of weeks in the province and we arranged to meet at Acadia University
Archives, Wolfville, N.S., so I could introduce him to the
material in the Bulmer-Bowers-Hutchinson-Sutherland Family fonds. We had a
wonderful day talking about all things EB. What a true pleasure and privilege
it was to share time and Bishop enthusiasm with Tiago. They spent time in Halifax, taking in the
big Nocturne 2017 festival. They travelled to Cape
Breton and then, of course, as they
headed back to Ottawa, they stopped in Great Village,
where EBSNS President Patti Sharpe and EBSNS board member Laurie Gunn met them
and gave them a tour of the EB House.
(Tiago Silva, Patti Sharpe and Jalison Jonas at the EB
House, October 2017.)
Tiago tells me that he will defend his dissertation in March
2018. We all hope that they will come back to Nova Scotia again!
