John Sebert Directing Buster Keaton's Last Film (1965)

 

Richard's Notes

Poetic. Simply charming.  All the rooms in the house has a garden view.  Wonderful neighbours.  Right across Port Hope Golf and Country Club.

Since retirement, the Seberts have been keeping busy strolling across the continent and setting up homes in Gulf Islands, British Columbia then back to Ontario in Port Perry before settling down in their current home in Port Hope.  Adele, previously a Set Designer, has a good eye for restoring old homes, or pick up new ones - with a couple of her "projects" featured in Century Home and City & Country Home magazines.

John has been busy with his car and antique collection, Photography Exhibition and writing - followed by, of course, book signing and the obligatory lecture circuit.
