Sometimes you never know what is going to hit you when you post a message on a genealogy forum. That was the case in Alyce's case back in 2000 when she posted a message on Ancestry.
Ten years later, she had all the information she needed to find all about her roots and she found some of her ancestors here in Quebec. Two weeks ago, this happened to someone else whose roots bring her to French Canada.
This person was searching for her roots and she replied to a message I had left on Ancestry forum back in May 2010…
If you live in Massachusetts and you are looking for your roots…
I know a lot about André Mignier the ancestor of all the Lagasses, Lagacés, LaGasses namely Adolph Lagasse and Idala LaGasse who lived in Massachusetts
And the best part of it…
It's free.
Now that was a catchy message to say the least…
Someone replied to my message…
I will use part of it.
I am researching my family tree, and am quite stuck.
I'll break it down for you:
My mother: Elaine
Her mother: Florence
Florence's father: Leon Lagasse (born Jan. 1898, in Massachusetts…Haverhill I believe, died Jan 1975)
Leon's father: Felix Lagasse
Now here's what I know about Felix:
Felix Lagasse was born in 'French Canada', about 1 November 1862, give or take a few years. He was naturalized in the U.S. on 2 December 1897. His middle name starts with either A or G. He was a shoemaker. His wife was Ellen J. (maiden name unknown). They were married about 1884.
The 1920 U.S. Census lists the children of Felix and Ellen: Eva; Leon; Irene; Lenore and Oscar. At that time, their home address was 93 Hanover St. in Lynn, MA. The interesting thing is my great grandmother Doris Lagasse (nee McNally) lived just next door at 91 Hanover.
At any rate, please let me know what you find out.
I answered her right back but perhaps I did scare her a little with all the information I had found on her Lagacé ancestors…
You see, sometimes you want to help people and they don't know what hit them, and you scare them a little. This happened to me many times since 2007…
Too passionate about genealogy I guess. Anyways, the good part of it is that this person is now unstuck and knows all about her deep-rooted roots in French Canada.
Speaking of roots, here is someone I also help a little. Ron knew a lot about his ancestors but he wanted to know more. We always want to know more, and the more we know, the more we want to know…
Luckily for Ron, I did not scare him off.
He even came to visit me in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines.

Donovan McNabb will be throwing passes to Terrell Owens again -- with a catch.
The dynamic duo will reunite in a made-for-TV moment. The former touchdown duo that lead the Eagles to Super Bowl 39 are teaming up on a basketball court instead of a football field in the new season of Spike TV's Pros vs. Joes.
The episode features NFL players that played college basketball against former NBA stars. McNabb (Syracuse), Owens (Tennessee-Chattanooga) and Antonio Gates (Kent St.) will face off against former NBA-ers Hakeem Olajuwon, Kenny Smith and Rick Fox.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
T.O. helped McNabb and the Eagles reach the Super Bowl in 2004, but a feud ended their relationship and Owens was sent home midway through the '05 season.
Owens is now a free agent after spending last year with Buffalo. He caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns in his only season with the Bills. Owens played three seasons with Dallas after he was released by Philadelphia.
McNabb remained the subject of trade rumors after the Eagles lost to the Cowboys in the first round of the playoffs. He has led Philadelphia to five NFC championship games but has only reached the one Super Bowl and has never won the big one after 11 seasons in Philly.
After the Eagles lost their third straight conference title game in 2003, McNabb lobbied hard to bring Owens to town. The dynamic duo combined for an electrifying season. McNabb had a career year and Owens put up prolific numbers before he broke his ankle in late December. Owens returned to play in Philadelphia's loss to New England in the Super Bowl.
Shortly afterward, Owens demanded a new contract, criticized management, did some sit-ups in his front yard after getting sent home from training camp and ripped McNabb. They've spoken a few times since and have seemingly patched up their differences.

The loss of MacDonald really hurt their "D". Isles did not have the depth or experience (or good goaltending). Okposo had a couple of monster games, and Tavares now gives Sid real competition for the mantle of best player.
The Islanders love is a little overblown. Capuano should get more credit than any of their players. Hamonic and McDonald weren't lights out in their own end. Whenever we actually got some zone presence, we seemed to have our way with their shotty defense. We just couldn't break their checking in he other end of the rink enough. And Okposo didn't have some breakout series. 3 goals - one was a crappy shot that missed the net by 3 feet, one was a pass, and the other was one of the worst breakaway shots you'll see but fleury blew it. And Tavares has established himself as a top player, but just like everyone else, he's a full notch below Sid.
More than a notch. This is like in The Dark Knight when all those fake Batman-costume wearing vigilantes were everywhere... still only one Batman.
Totally agree that we dominated most of this series, but we should dominate them. I really think you need to go back and look at the wins, instead of just what went wrong. We won 5-0 in 90 dominant minutes, 5-4 in a game that the Isles showed some serious grit, 4-0 against a team that came out red hot and we turned them away hard, and 4-3 in OT against a caged animal that left every ounce they had on the ice.
As for player performance for them, scoring doesn't tell the whole story. Okposo lifted them in games 2 & 3. Brian Strait made some plays I didn't think he was capable of. I had no idea who Casey Cizikas was before this series, but for sure i won't forget him now. So many contributors... If you didn't see a different Okposo/Strait/Cizikas in this series, it was over in a heartbeat. Those guys stood out in all 6 games... well, the 4 games NYI actually scored in. Tavares and Streit... great guys to keep building around. They were awesome all series long. There were some guys we held in check for 6 games; Moulson, Boyes, Neilsen... these guys did not have a great series.
Transition defense & goaltending, not JUST goaltending, was the cause of most of the heartache in this series. Too many pucks to the net on the rush, not enough 50/50 or better pucks won behind the net, too many turnovers and too many player wide open around the net. Story of all our losses this year.
Whoa whoa whoa. We didn't dominate most of the series. We outplayed them for only like 5 out of 18 periods.
Wow... So how many did they outplay us then?

Susanfor other, similarly-named pages.
"Susan" was the assumed name of a Time Lady who was the original companion and granddaughter of the Doctor. As a descendent of Rassilon, Susan travelled with the Doctor during their first incarnation, and reunited with him in their fifth (TV: The Five Doctors) and eighth incarnations. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks; AUDIO: An Earthly Child, et al.) At different times in her life she was known as "Susan Foreman", "Susan English" and "Susan Campbell", but she was usually called simply "Susan". According to some sources, (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) her birth name was Larn (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade) or Arkytior. (PROSE: Roses)
Early life on Gallifrey
After she left Gallifrey with the Doctor, records of her true identity were deliberately obscured. She was certainly the daughter of the Lord President, (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords, The Magician's Apprentice, Hell Bent) and she was born with a different name than "Susan", (PROSE: Frayed, AUDIO: All Hands on Deck) which may have been Larn (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade, A Brief History of Time Lords) or Arkytior, from the Gallifreyan for "rose". (PROSE: Roses, A Brief History of Time Lords) She may have been a direct descendant of Rassilon or of some other founding father of Gallifrey. (PROSE: Lungbarrow, A Brief History of Time Lords)
Susan specifically identified the Doctor as her grandfather, (TV: "An Unearthly Child", "The Escape") as did Barbara Wright, (TV: "An Unearthly Child", "Hidden Danger") Ian Chesterton, (TV: "The Ambush", "Kidnap") Ping-Cho (TV: "The Wall of Lies") and the First Doctor himself, (TV: "The Brink of Disaster") while the First Doctor considered Susan to be his grandchild, (TV: "The Rescue", Marco Polo, The Sensorites, "Flashpoint") as did the Fifth Doctor, (AUDIO: The Toy) the Eighth Doctor (AUDIO: Relative Dimensions) and the First Elder. (TV: "Hidden Danger") In his eleventh incarnation, the Doctor later recalled coming to the Rings of Akhaten "a long time ago with my granddaughter". (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)
However, other accounts cast doubt on their biological relationship. One, related by the Master, described Susan as Lady Larn, a contemporary of the Doctor whom he had rescued from civil strife on Gallifrey. (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade) Another intimated that she was one of the last children born on Gallifrey before Pythia's Curse, (PROSE: Lungbarrow) with Patience's husband present at her birth. (PROSE: Cold Fusion) She was sent away from Gallifrey by the Other — her grandfather — to Tersurus during the Great Schism. She later returned to Gallifrey to search for him, where she met the Doctor, whom she recognised as her grandfather reborn. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
Though she appeared a teenager to human eyes, one account stated Susan was older than Ian and Barbara combined. (AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters) The First Doctor told Shivani Bajwa Susan was 73-years-old. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill) However, according to the First Doctor, by the time she was on Maitland's ship with Ian and Barbara, she was a few years younger than the young human Carol Richmond. (TV: "Strangers in Space") Susan herself told Ping-Cho that she was "in [her] sixteenth year". (TV: "The Roof of the World") Upon seeing a picture of Susan, the hermit said she took after her mother. (PROSE: The Three Paths)
According to A Brief History of Time, when the eight-year-old Susan was taken for the selection process in the Drylands to stare into the Untempered Schism, she reacted by running away from what she saw in the Schism. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)
Susan attended a ritual with the Doctor in Arcadia where the Master gave her a toy. The toy was in reality a communication node in which the Master intended to use to locate the Doctor if he ever left Gallifrey. (AUDIO: The Toy)
Departure from Gallifrey
The First Doctor and Susan left together when they purloined a faulty TARDIS from the repair shop beneath the Capitol. (TV: The Name of the Doctor, AUDIO: The Beginning)
The Doctor had brought the flying trunk containing the Hand of Omega with him and Susan had brought basic luggage from her house. Armed guards chased the fugitive Doctor and Susan into the repair shop, where the only place for them to hide was a line of TARDISes. Susan walked into one TARDIS, but the Doctor didn't follow her inside. After Susan heard voices outside, the Doctor urged her to go inside the cylinder next to it instead. (AUDIO: The Beginning) The Doctor was being advised by a version of Clara Oswald to steal the Type 40 with a faulty navigation system instead of the one Susan had walked inside, as it would be much more fun. This account also showed the Doctor already wearing Victorian era dress before he visited Earth. (TV: The Name of the Doctor) The Doctor speculated that the TARDIS was deregistered, and that was how it slipped through Gallifrey's transduction barrier and how they evaded the Time Lords. This account stated the Doctor and Susan already went by these names when they left Gallifrey. (AUDIO: The Beginning)
Their initial trip in the TARDIS was the first time the Doctor had ever piloted a TARDIS. (PROSE: The Exiles, AUDIO: The Beginning) According to one account, the Doctor chose to travel through time, rather than just space. During that first bumpy flight, Susan could not sleep, and began to explore the TARDIS interior. She found a mirror in the wardrobe room that reflected the image of a young man. He stepped out of the mirror, bared a pair of fangs at her, told her she was "not the one", and disappeared. The Doctor speculated that she had seen an echo through the vortex of something happening in another time. (PROSE: The Exiles)
According to another account, the Doctor and Susan were thrown onto the TARDIS control panel as the TARDIS was seemingly being torn apart. When the Doctor was able to reach for the button marked "flight stabiliser", Susan collapsed shortly after the engines were stabilised. The Doctor tended to Susan as she slept, and used his jacket as a makeshift pillow for her before she reawakened. Susan then explored the TARDIS as the Doctor tended to the ship's controls. She tripped over a rigger's work case and brought it back to the Doctor when the TARDIS had run out of power. Inside the work case, the Doctor found an artron cell and attached it to the drive system to power an emergency landing. After finding a nearby world, the TARDIS appeared to take over and brought them to the Moon. (AUDIO: The Beginning)
Long after she had stopped travelling with her grandfather, she described herself as "an accidental passenger" and "a hanger-on" in this first journey from Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters)
Meeting humans
According to one account, the Doctor and Susan's first destination was a vivarium beneath the surface of the Moon. Before walking outside, they were confronted by Quadrigger Stoyn, who had become an unwitting passenger and had part of his face burned when the TARDIS took off. Stoyn's job was to take apart the TARDIS' engines before it was sent to be vaporised, but the TARDIS had run out of power, stranding them. The Doctor took the dematerialisation circuit so Stoyn wouldn't leave them behind and they explored the strange location. The Doctor, Susan and Stoyn were taken out of the tank and realised they were in a massive cavern filled with vivariums carefully-preserved specimens. The Archaeons had been seeding primitive planets such as the Earth with life by firing red lightning from the Moon, creating an established order out of the chaos and nurturing the early lifeforms under controlled conditions.
While checking to see if the TARDIS was a threat, the Archaeons began taking it apart. They took the TARDIS' temporal stasis capacitor while it was still attached to the power source. This caused the stasis field to breach, freezing the Doctor, Susan, Stoyn and the Archaeons in time, allowing the TARDIS to recharge itself. 450 million years later, humans had evolved on the Earth until they established a lunar colony, Giant Leap Base. A group of humans from Giant Leap Base broke the stasis field, taking the Doctor and Susan on board their lunar rover, where they came to.
According to one account, the Doctor and Susan learnt about the Earth's history through a "first contact induction video" Susan had been provided while on board the rover. With the dematerialisation circuit still in the Doctor's possession, the Archaeons had sent nematodes, which didn't affect the Time Lords, to kill all of the humans on the rover. When the Archaeons, found the life they had "seeded" had become disorderly and "run rampant", no longer matching their carefully-planned vision, they "purged" the humans on the lunar base and on the Earth with lightning. The Doctor, who was blamed for the disruption of the Archaeons' experiments, was brought back to the cavern. Meanwhile, the humans retaliated against the Archaeons with missiles. After the Doctor went inside the TARDIS, evading the distracted Archaeons, Stoyn tried taking Susan with him, but she refused and ran inside the TARDIS.
With the dematerialisation circuit in place, the Doctor and Susan left without Stoyn, as the Doctor felt that he was just as willing to abandon them. Another barrage of missiles breached the atmosphere of the Archaeons' cavern, destroying their weaponry; the Archaeons were pulled outside, though Susan saw Stoyn struggle to reach the rover. Afterwards, the Doctor continuously watched the video about the Earth's history and evolution inside the TARDIS, marvelling at the planet's abundance. He promised it would be his next destination. Instead, his next stop was a place with a blue sun and air like wine. It took several trips before he reached the Earth again. (AUDIO: The Beginning)
According to another account, the first time "Susan" and her grandfather met humans was on the planet Iwa. They were separated. In his search for Susan, the Doctor found a human medical colony. The principal work of the facility, called "the Refuge", was to rehabilitate patients identified as "Future Deviants". By undergoing dream therapy, it was hoped that such individuals would not become criminals.
The Doctor soon learned the residents were besieged by fox-like aliens who could disintegrate and reconstitute their bodies. Taking him inside their compound, the humans stripped him of his clothes and burned them, citing possible contamination by the "foxes". They gave him new clothes drawn from their own supply. This meant that he was now wearing the garb of a doctor. When they assumed that he was sent by Earth to help them, he agreed. Not wishing to give them his real name, he referenced his new clothes to derive a title: "the Doctor".
He agreed to help them with their "fox problem" if they would help him find his granddaughter. They discovered "Susan" had become trapped in the colonists' "dream chambers", medical devices that put patients into deep sleep and linked them in one communal dream. Inside the dream chamber, the Doctor's granddaughter met a human colonist named Jill, who promptly gave the young girl the name "Susan", after Jill's own mother.
Eventually the newly named Doctor and Susan were reunited. They helped the colonists broker an uneasy peace with the foxes. They left the colony, deciding to retain the names they had gained there. The Doctor was deeply impressed by humans during this initial encounter. He told Susan they should find a way to settle amongst them for a while, so that he could study them and they could maintain a low profile on the run from the Time Lords. (PROSE: Frayed)
The Doctor and Susan travelled to Quinnis where she was interested in a local type of fish. She met Meedla who told her why Bridgetown was on stilts, due to the dangerous ground. When the Doctor was asked to make rain, she spent most of the time running backwards and forwards to the TARDIS. She found out that Meedla was a bird of omen who delighted in the misfortune of the town. After they found the TARDIS after it had been swept away in a flood the Doctor gave her the Blitzen fish that she was interested in. (AUDIO: Quinnis)
At one point Susan had to adventure out of the TARDIS to find medical help for the Doctor when he became ill. When she landed on Rua she discovered that she couldn't find any anti-biotics because they had superseded such medicines using nano-technology. She was later chased by a robot, but was in fact a police man Kendrick. Because of her expertise in nanotechnology she helped Kendrick to stop the Butcher but she became upset when Kendrick killed the Butcher. (AUDIO: The Sleeping Blood)
Giving humans a try
Some time after this first meeting with humans, but before taking up residence at 76 Totter's Lane, Susan and the Doctor began to study Earth and humans more closely. The precise order of these events was unclear.
Some time after their first meeting with humans, the Doctor and Susan began to study Earth and humans more closely, with the French Revolution in France being their first visit to Earth. (PROSE: Just War)
One of their first trips to Earth was to the British coastal town of Keelmouth in 1933. There, they vacationed at a bed and breakfast called "Bide-a-Wee". Another of its guests was a time traveller named Prentice. He had used his technology to displace Keelmouth in time; the village was in 1933, but the surrounding world was in 1999. The Doctor and Susan had to convince Prentice to reverse the effect, because his retirement fantasy was not fair to the people he had trapped alongside him. (PROSE: Bide-a-Wee)
Susan was saved from drowning in a boating accident by the then-retired Brigadier near his house. (PROSE: The Gift)
The Doctor and Susan went to ancient Rome, Antioch, and Jerusalem. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
On 16 August 1979, the dematerialisation circuit was fried while the TARDIS was orbiting Earth. The TARDIS was taken on board a Slarvian transport, and the duo learned that the snail-like species planned to conquer Earth by hatching their eggs all over the planet. Their plan failed because the Slarvian ship crashed into the English Channel, making the threat localised to England. With the help of the humans Linda Grainger and her grandfather Edward, Susan and the Doctor stopped the Slarvian eggs from hatching. (PROSE: Childhood Living)
At an unknown point before her schooldays, the Doctor took Susan to see the Rings of Akhaten. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)
During their travels, she and the Doctor met Noël Coward. (AUDIO: The Sleeping City)
The Doctor and Susan visited London during the Blitz in 1941. (AUDIO: The Alchemists)
They visited Rome during the time of Augustus. (AUDIO: The Alchemists)
They observed a Zeppelin attack during World War I. (TV: Planet of Giants; AUDIO: The Alchemists)
Shortly before they settled on Totter's Lane, they unwittingly travelled to Paris in the 22nd century. They became embroiled in political intrigue in the run-up to an election in the city of Urrozdinee. Departing after the incumbent had been killed, they never quite understood that the city they had visited was what had once been known as EuroDisney. (PROSE: Urrozdinee)
The Doctor and Susan visited Peking during the Boxer Rebellion and used smoke bombs to escape. (AUDIO: The Flames of Cadiz)
The Doctor and Susan visited Dido. (TV: The Rescue)
The Doctor and Susan sailed around the Caribbean on board a pirate galleon. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
The Doctor and Susan witnessed the assassination of U.S. President William McKinley and travelled to Cassuragi. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
The Doctor and Susan travelled to Berlin in January 1933 where they went to see Fitz Haber in a scientific institute. Susan found Berlin confusing. The Doctor visited the scientist she met Pollitt in a local cafe, but was drugged by him. After the Doctor was kidnapped, Susan enlisted the help of the SA to locate them. She was later interrogated by Pollitt thinking the Doctor was involved in extracting into gold and wanted to know the secret. (AUDIO: The Alchemists)
On one occasion, they went to central Europe in the 16th century. On the way out of the TARDIS, Susan noticed what looked like a meteorite. She tossed it out, thinking it unimportant, but soon came to realise that it was in fact a part of a Liciax ship. When she tried to find what she had carelessly discarded, it was gone. With the help of a man named Lovey, they traced it to Prague, where they found it had been shaped into a golem. It was definitively alive. It was also on a murderous rampage. The Doctor and Susan trapped it in the attic of a Jewish synagogue, placing it under a security system, to which only they knew the access codes. Some 450 years later, the Fourth Doctor and Romana I returned to retrieve the golem, hoping to take it back to the Liciax homeworld. (PROSE: Life from Lifelessness)
At another time, they accidentally landed at the BBC's Paris studios in 1955 because transmissions there had disabled their dematerialisation circuit. They met a radio comedian named Max Wheeler, the star of a programme called Anyway, As I Say. His recordings were plagued by a distinctive background "hum" caused by ghostly aliens known as the Shakers. These aliens could kill people with sonic resonance — the thing manifesting itself as a "hum" on BBC broadcasts. During World War II, the British saw the Shakers as a useful ally. They recruited the Shakers into the French resistance. In 1955, the Shakers were unaware that the war had ended and were unable to clearly understand who their enemies were. Unfortunately, the audiences laughter during the performance of Anyway As I Say was, because of its precise harmonics, resonating them out of their "homes" in the walls of Broadcasting House, reawakening them to their murderous task. The Doctor and Susan used canned laugh tracks to force the Shakers out of the walls. Though she and her grandfather tried to explain the current reality to them, the Shakers continued to kill indiscriminately. The only course of action was for Susan and the Doctor to alter the harmonics of the canned laughter and kill them with it. (PROSE: Losing the Audience)
The Doctor and Susan made a short trip to the planet Tacunda. There, they uncovered a jewel called a "Blessing Star". This crystal altered the laws of probability around the holder, essentially making their dreams come true. The Doctor tried the device, wishing that he could pilot the TARDIS to 20th century Earth. He was successful, it completely fried the navigational system, stranding the Doctor and Susan in I.M. Foreman's junk yard in Totter's Lane, London. (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story) Susan and her grandfather took up residence in London so the Doctor could effect repairs. (PROSE: Time and Relative) One account placed the Doctor and Susan's arrival in London before March 1963. (PROSE: Time and Relative) Another had Susan say they came here in June, four months before October. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)
Before starting school
Susan had a number of adventures before she formally started classes.
The Doctor and Susan got lost at night in the dense fog. They met a girl named Joan Calder who sheltered them at her home, where they met her mother and grandfather. During the visit the house burst into flames. On the Doctor's instruction, Susan broke a mirror in the house. The elder Calder crumbled into ash and the fire abated. Although the Doctor never was able to adequately explain the event, it was related to the fact that the house had in fact been levelled during the London Blitz two decades earlier. The Doctor postulated that Susan's action likely saved the lives of Joan and her mother. (PROSE: Ash)
Life as a schoolgirl
Info from Time and Relative needs to be added.
Susan was enrolled at Coal Hill School (TV: "An Unearthly Child") in Shoreditch. (TV: The Day of the Doctor, AUDIO: Hunters of Earth) One account had her enrol there in March 1963, (PROSE: Time and Relative) while according to another account, Susan said she had been at Coal Hill since the start of the autumn term. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)
Susan took the last name "Foreman" from I.M. Foreman, the name on the gates of the junkyard where the Doctor had hidden his TARDIS. [source needed] She eagerly sampled the cultural fads of British teenagers. She came to love pop groups such as John Smith and the Common Men. (TV: "An Unearthly Child") She had a John Smith and the Common Men album aboard the TARDIS. (AUDIO: 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men)
She was also interested in beat poetry. This interest led to two adventures with her grandfather, only one of which she remembered. After witnessing a man explode into a protoplasmic mass at a beat poetry reading, she and her grandfather traced the unusual death to a British government project, Operation Proteus. They discovered the project was being run by an alien named Raldonn, who was mutating humans to turn one into his own species so that he would have a co-pilot to help him fly his ship back home. Unfortunately, his efforts relied on a lethal virus that threatened all London. After reversing the effects of the virus, the Doctor and Susan returned to the TARDIS in Totter's Lane, whereupon she was taken and then returned to his side without their knowledge. (COMIC: Operation Proteus)
Susan was taken from her time stream to the year 2082 by the Threshold. They had been hunting time travelling humans to send to their clients, the Lobri, who fed on humanity's base emotions until they could break free of their psychic plane of existence. Because time travellers could survive the journey to the Lobri's "realm", the Threshold had been particularly interested in the Doctor's former companions, like Peri, Sarah Jane, and Ace. Unfortunately, the Threshold didn't realise until after they had captured her that Susan wasn't human. The seventh incarnation of her grandfather had to rescue all his companions from the Threshold's sinister scheme. He was only successful in this effort because Ace sacrificed herself by blowing up the Lobri and herself with Nitro-9. Grieving the loss of Ace, the Doctor wiped his remaining companions' minds of the event and returned them to their proper times. Susan was returned to the side of her grandfather as they walked back to Totter's Lane after the incident. (COMIC: Ground Zero)
At Rosa's that October, Susan and sixth form student Cedric Chivers heard a DJ on the radio read a message to them from a future incarnation of the Doctor saying "it's blowing in the wind," and "it's all in the beat". The following day, a mob of Coal Hill students and bikers attacked and chased Susan. The following day, while crossing Mayfield Terrace, Cedric was influenced by a German weapon that had been buried in the terrace during World War II that used radio waves to make young people hate and attack anyone who was different to them. He joined a mob led by Mavis, but stopped when Susan dropped her transistor radio.
On Monday, Susan bought Cedric a Bob Dylan LP because of the man on the radio. They were chased by street gangs who chanted "aliens out", and Cedric brought Susan to his uncle Colonel Rook's warehouse, where Cedric revealed he was spying on her, and told her that the Doctor and Susan could be used to fight a war. The Doctor deduced the workings of the weapon, and devised a means of using Susan's radio and other pieces in the warehouse to transmit a blocking signal that negated the effect of the weapon. To buy the Doctor more time, Susan used her psychic powers to slow down the oncoming mob. After his life was saved, Rook decided against coercing the Doctor and Susan to fight in the war, and told them that their "secret" would be safe. Afterwards, Susan received a premonition of something coming for the Doctor in his future that he couldn't escape. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)
Susan continued her life as an ordinary teenage girl at Coal Hill School. She tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to fit in with her classmates. (PROSE: Time and Relative)
This was especially difficult during lessons. There was an obvious imbalance in her knowledge compared with her classmates. She understood advanced physics and chemistry beyond the abilities of her teachers, yet did not know how many shillings made a pound; she thought the United Kingdom was on the decimal system, which only the United States had in 1963 and hadn't yet been introduced to the UK. Her teacher Ian claimed Susan would gradually tell of her knowledge to ensure she didn't embarrass her teachers. (TV: "An Unearthly Child")
During this time, she used the Blessing Star, hoping it would help her fit in. Instead, it made her extraordinarily lucky, which only further emphasised the differences between her and her fellows. In a fit of pique, she buried the Blessing Star in I.M. Foreman's junkyard — an act that would inadvertently help England win the 1966 World Cup. (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story)
Travels with Ian and Barbara
Susan's individuality may have been more a problem for her teachers than for her. Susan called her five months on Earth "the happiest of [her] life". When Ian and Barbara followed her home one night to find out more of her mysterious home life, they found the TARDIS. The Doctor kidnapped Ian and Barbara and took a reluctant Susan too, travelling to Earth in the Stone Age. The Doctor was taken by Kal, who had seen him produce fire. The others tried to rescue the Doctor, but were taken to the Cave of Skulls. The Old Mother released the Doctor and his companions and they escaped into a nearby forest. Za was injured by an animal when he tried to chase after them. Ian and Barbara took care of Za, but the group were still sent back to the cave. Ian produced fire for the tribe and devised a way of scaring the cavemen by setting the skulls on fire. The group escaped to the TARDIS, which took off again. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
When the TARDIS landed on Skaro, the Doctor lied about the fluid link needing more mercury, when there was nothing wrong, so he could explore a nearby city. The Daleks imprisoned the Doctor and his companions inside the city, confiscating the fluid link they brought along. Susan helped the Daleks write an agreement for the Thals, but once they arrived, the Daleks ambushed them, killing the Thal leader, Temmosus.
Having escaped, they assisted the Thals in their attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks' power supply was damaged in the attack. The Daleks died and their plans to flood the atmosphere with radiation failed. (TV: The Daleks)
With the fluid link retrieved, the Doctor left Skaro for Earth, using the fast return switch. The spring in the switch was damaged, causing it to be stuck. The TARDIS was sent to the beginning of a solar system and everyone was knocked out in the trip. The TARDIS tried warning the crew about the atoms forming around them when they came to, but the Doctor assumed that this was Ian and Barbara's sabotage of the ship. Susan had been affected the worst by what had happened. Once Barbara figured out what was going on, the Doctor fixed the spring, ending the fault. (TV: "The Rescue", The Edge of Destruction)
Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to Ian and Barbara's time, instead landing in the Plain of Pamir in 1289. There, the Doctor and his companions met Marco Polo. Polo took the TARDIS and its keys on his caravan the breadth of Cathay to hand to Kublai Khan as part of a bargain for his return to Venice. During this time, Susan formed a strong friendship with a young girl named Ping-Cho. Along the way, the Mongol warlord Tegana, also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for Nogai as part of his plan to assassinate Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in Peking, the Doctor and his companions escaped in his repaired TARDIS. (TV: Marco Polo)
The Doctor landed on an island on Marinus. Arbitan asked them to search for the keys to the reprogrammed Conscience of Marinus to regain control over the Voord, as all of his other followers and family members failed to retrieve them. Arbitan trapped the TARDIS in a forcefield, preventing the Doctor and his companions' escape.
They used Arbitan's travel dials to reach Morphoton. Barbara released Arbitan's daughter, Sabetha, and the rest of the city from the Morpho's mind control, and retrieved the first key. While Ian and Barbara searched for the second key, Susan and Sabetha were trapped inside a mountain cave. Ian, Barbara and Altos rescued them and found the third key deep inside the caverns guarded by Ice Soldiers.
In Millennius, Ian was framed for murder. The Doctor stood as defence at Ian's trial, but he was sentenced to death. While Susan was held hostage by Kala, the Doctor learnt from her that one of the conspirators in the murder, the prosector Eyesen, was ready to collect one of the keys. Ian was spared execution. The guards captured Eyesen and the last key was found in the mace that killed Eprin.
The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord a fake key, which destroyed the Conscience, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. (TV: The Keys of Marinus)
The Doctor and his companions arrived in an Aztec temple in Mexico. They went through a one-way passage that prevented access to the TARDIS. Barbara posed as the Aztec god, Yetaxa, with the others as her servants, to find a way back. For interrupting the first victim's human sacrifice, Susan was sent to a seminary.
Susan was to be punished for denying marriage to the Perfect Victim of the Aztecs' sacrifice and Ian to be executed when he was framed by the High Priest of Sacrifice, Tlotoxl, for attacking the High Priest of Knowledge, Autloc. Autloc's faith in Yetaxa was shattered, and he left for the wilderness. The Doctor, Ian and the Doctor's accidental fiancée, Cameca, distracted Ian and Susan's guard to escape. They worked on a pulley system to open the doorway back to the TARDIS. As they departed, the sacrifice of the Perfect Victim continued as planned. (TV: The Aztecs)
The Doctor landed inside a spaceship in the 28th century, where two crewmembers were suspended in a state resembling death and another, John, had had his mind opened and turned insane, following an attack on their minds by the Sensorites. The Sense Sphere, which the ship had been trapped around, had its aqueducts' water supply poisoned with atropine by survivors of a previous human expedition whose ship had been destroyed.
The TARDIS' lock was taken by the Sensorites, leaving the Doctor and his companions trapped on the spaceship. After the Doctor and his companions resisted the Sensorites, the Doctor, Ian and Susan agreed to go down to the Sense Sphere, where the Doctor worked out the cure for this "disease", which had also afflicted Ian, while the Sensorite scientists treated John. When the Doctor and Ian had gone to the aqueduct to investigate with broken weapons, Susan held a telepathic link with Barbara to help her way through the aqueduct. The Doctor, Ian and Barbara found the human expedition and pretended to be a welcoming party for them and that the "war" against the Sensorites was won. The expedition were taken into custody on Maitland's ship. Maitland's ship was free to leave and the TARDIS crew had regained their lock. (TV: The Sensorites)
When the Doctor thought he had landed the TARDIS on 1960s Earth, Susan was sceptical as Barbara, Ian and herself found 18th century furniture in a nearby building. In fact they had landed in revolutionary France. She noted that this was one of he grandfather's favourite eras of history. Whilst there she was suspected of being a traitor to the revolution and was sentenced to death. On the way to their execution, Susan and Barbara were rescued. However, in the protection of her rescuers she became ill, and learned how primitive medicine was in revolutionary France. The Physician that treated her reported her as an escaped prisoner. Back at the prison, and the Doctor facilitated her second escape, by impersonating an official. (TV: The Reign of Terror)
At some point during her travels with the Doctor, Ian and Barbara, they visited Bob Dovie at 59A Barnsfield Crescent in Totton, Hampshire on 23 November 1963. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)
When she found out that they had landed Library of Alexandria she looked it up in the TARDIS Library and discovered it's fate. (AUDIO: The Library of Alexandria)
When in Seville she helped the Doctor impersonate a cardinal to help Ian get out of prison before he was sentenced to death. With Barbara she rescued him from the flames. (AUDIO: The Flames of Cadiz)
They later landed in a flotila of ships on the planet Hydra where they were captured by Amyra Kaan and Pan Vexel for being stowaways. She was interested in the plight of the Hydran's when she heard how they were invaded by the Voord. When the Fortitude sank she spent the following weeks grieving for her Grandfather and Barbara's deaths, as well as talking to the captured Voord Nebrin. When Ian and Susan found the TARDIS, Ian forced her to pilot it to take it away from the Voord. Tarlak wished to know how she knew of Yartek and the Marinus mission. When Tarlek found out that the Doctor wished to stop his invasion, he commanded for Susan to be converted into a Voord to stop the Doctor in his plans. (AUDIO: Domain of the Voord)
When the TARDIS landed on the doomed planet Sarath, Susan was taken to hospital after she was injured in a building collapse. When she entered a healing coma, Susan was replaced by an android duplicate as part of a plan by the city's supervising A.I., Monitor, to ensure his own survival, but the original Susan recovered in time to escape incineration. After the truth about the android and Monitor's plan was revealed, the android's connection to Susan allowed her to resist and disrupt Monitor's control, allowing him to be destroyed. With the last few survivors of the planet needing a controlling computer to take the last ship to Mirath, the android volunteered to take on the role, despite knowing that the society on Mirath would be unable to sustain her (PROSE: City at World's End).
In a London devastated by the 22nd century Dalek invasion, Susan fell in love with the freedom fighter named David Campbell (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) or Cameron (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) The Doctor realised Susan would never leave him of her own free will; she thought him dependent on her. Rather than let her choose to stay with him or with David, he forced her hand and locked her out of the TARDIS, bidding her farewell and saying that one day he would return. Meanwhile, she had a place where she could belong, and a home which she confided to David she had never really had. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)
Ian came to believe that locking Susan out of the TARDIS was the bravest thing that he ever saw the Doctor do. (AUDIO: The Revenants)
Adult life
Susan married and had a family with David. She actively participated in the rebuilding of Earth after the Dalek invasion. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, AUDIO: An Earthly Child)
About twenty years after being left on Earth, Borusa captured Susan with a Time Scoop and placed her with the Doctor in the Death Zone on Gallifrey. She met her grandfather in his fifth incarnation (and, briefly, his second and third incarnations), along with Tegan Jovanka and Vislor Turlough, and briefly met Sarah Jane Smith and the Brigadier. She accompanied the First Doctor back to their time streams. (TV: The Five Doctors)
One account suggested that she never told her husband that she was not human. (AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters) However, others contradicted this. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, AUDIO: An Earthly Child)
Susan and David adopted three war orphans and named them Ian, Barbara and David Campbell Junior; Susan was not able to conceive with David. She worked as a peace officer who made Dalek artefacts safe. The years she spent on Earth caused problems for them. She did not age as fast as humans and was forced to disguise herself to look thirty years older. In 2199, she encountered the Master whilst investigating a Dalek artefact, and was captured by him to use as a hostage against the Eighth Doctor. Susan was taken in the Master's TARDIS to the planet Tersurus, where she revealed that she was also a Time Lord and triggered a psychic scream that forced the Master out of the TARDIS. Believing that she had killed the Master after using his TCE to destroy his equipment and trigger an explosion, she subsequently took his TARDIS. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks)
A conflicting account held that Susan was able to have a child with David. Her son, Alex Campbell, had only one heart. (AUDIO: An Earthly Child) She sent the Doctor a hypercube after his birth to tell him of what she had achieved with her life. (PROSE: Ghost of Christmas Past) When Alex was a teenager, Susan asked the Doctor if Alex could be educated on Gallifrey. The Doctor expressed doubts about David's acceptance when told that Alex had only one heart. After David's death, Susan became one of the leaders of the Earth council to help with the planet's recovery. She contacted the Guldreasi, a seemingly peaceful race that wanted to help Earth. About this time she met with her grandfather in his eighth incarnation and helped stop the Guldreasi enslaving the human race. (AUDIO: An Earthly Child)
Six months later, Susan had Christmas dinner with the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller in the TARDIS. She was unhappy when the TARDIS suddenly dematerialised and to find the Doctor was planning on having Alex travel with him. The Doctor was able to return them to the right place and Alex then departed on a tour with Lucie. (AUDIO: Relative Dimensions) During the tour a plague spread over the Earth, infecting Lucie, though Susan and Alex's Gallifreyan heritage made them resistant. Susan was able to use her influence to get Alex and Lucie from Thailand to England. Soon after this the Second Dalek Invasion of Earth occurred. Lucie sent a message to the Doctor when she was infected before the Invasion, but he failed to come till 2 years later. Susan kept her TARDIS Key, thinking she could detect the TARDIS with it. After a failed attack on Dalek operations in North America she realised the TARDIS had arrived. The Doctor was in a Dalek Saucer when it was hit by torpedoes and found unconscious, however Susan realised he could be revived inside the TARDIS, and found her way there. She was able to fly a Dalek Saucer to America with a bomb, Alex and Lucie, hoping to stop the Invasion. However Alex was killed by the Daleks after which Lucie Miller destroyed the Daleks by detonating the bomb, at the cost of her life. Susan and the Doctor were saved by the Meddling Monk, but the Doctor, upset at the deaths, left, leaving Susan to deal with her son's death alone. (AUDIO: Lucie Miller / To the Death)
After the second Dalek invasion, Susan moved in to Coal Hill School, which had been left abandoned. She had been sent several urgent hypercubes from Gallifrey, asking for her to join the War. The Eighth Doctor tried to remove most of the hypercubes, creating a number of distractions for Susan while he did so. Susan was able to work out his distractions and worked out what was happening. Susan received the message and decided to join the fight, believing that she could help the Time Lords to defeat the Daleks. (AUDIO: All Hands on Deck)
While the Ninth Doctor twice implied that his "whole family" had died, (TV: Father's Day, The Empty Child) the Tenth Doctor once said that he was unsure if she was alive, as he simply had not checked. (COMIC: The Forgotten) The Eleventh Doctor reaffirmed this, and said that Susan was "lost", and that he hadn't looked for her. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand) While masquerading as the Doctor (TV: Death in Heaven) after the revelation of Gallifrey's survival at the end of the Time War, (TV: The Day of the Doctor) Clara Oswald stated that all of his children and grandchildren were assumed dead. (TV: Death in Heaven)
The name "Foreman. S." was recorded on the Roll of Honours Board, which listed both dead and missing staff and students, at the renovated Coal Hill Academy. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)
The Doctor kept a portrait of Susan in his cottage. (COMIC: A Matter of Life and Death)
The Seventh Doctor told Ace that he thought about Susan everyday. (AUDIO: Nightshade)
The Twelfth Doctor kept a framed photograph of Susan on his desk in his study during the years he spent as a lecturer at St Luke's University, along with a picture of his late wife River Song. (TV: The Pilot)
Undated events
At some point, Susan was taken to the Black Archive by UNIT to have her record as a companion of the Doctor taken. Her memories of the visit were subsequently erased and she was sent on her way. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
The Doctor allowed Susan to borrow the TARDIS for a trip to Venus, but she instead landed on Skaro, where she had an encounter with the Daleks. (COMIC: The Message of Mystery)
Susan loved her grandfather, as he did her. She was fond of 20th century England, so she enrolled in school there. Despite the Doctor's warnings, she still endangered their secrets. Susan understood contemporary technology and was familiar with historical events, but knew very little about ordinary things, like money. Despite these gaps however, she was still very intelligent, to the extent that teacher Ian suspected she was not only smarter than him, but holding back on her knowledge so that her teachers didn't feel stupid. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
Susan considered the Doctor to be a "great man". (AUDIO: Domain of the Voord) The Doctor once commented that Susan was "very precious" to him. (AUDIO: Masters of Earth)
Her sheltered life on Gallifrey resulted in her being quick to show fear, either by screaming or calling for her grandfather. She quickly befriended Ian and Barbara but did not accept their claims the Doctor had intentionally damaged his own TARDIS. (TV: The Daleks)
She also seemed to have a sense of humour, having mentioned a liking of memes when visiting the Library of Alexandria (AUDIO: The Library of Alexandria), which could take a turn to the morbid side, as seen with her excitement regarding using burning skulls to chase some cavemen off. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
When the fast return switch was stuck, it was Susan who suffered the worst from its effects, possibly due to her having the highest level of psychic sensitivity. She very nearly killed Barbara and Ian. At first she sided with her grandfather, blaming the teachers for the problems. However, she soon recognised their innocence. (TV: The Edge of Destruction)
On Marinus, Susan travelled ahead of the others and was frightened by the jungle and the screams that emanated from it. Despite her earlier truthfulness, the others did not take this seriously. (TV: The Keys of Marinus)
On 22nd century Earth, Susan developed a relationship with David Campbell. The Doctor recognised this and decided it was best to leave her behind so that she could live a normal life. Susan was reluctant, but the Doctor seemed to convince her it was for the best. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) She had a son Alex whom she loved dearly. (AUDIO: An Earthly Child et al.)
Behind the scenes
In reality, this character was originally to have been a princess saved from a planet which wasn't the same world as the Doctor came from. [1] Thereafter, she was envisioned as a fugitive from the Doctor's home planet. It was Anthony Coburn who altered the character so that Susan became the Doctor's granddaughter, instead of being a biologically unrelated female teenager travelling with an old man. (The Tribe of Gum (script), "Doctor Who – The Beginning")
No televised episode has ever explored Susan's origins. The unbroadcast pilot episode features a line of dialogue in which Susan states she is from the 49th century. However, the final televised version, broadcast as the first episode of An Unearthly Child, contains no such reference.
The contradicting stories regarding Susan's origins predate the BBC Wales version of Doctor Who. The 2005 version establishes the fact that the Doctor had a family on Gallifrey and intimates, though never explicitly states, that Susan was in all likelihood his biological granddaughter. As of February 2018, there has never been an indication given in any TV episode to suggest otherwise.
Susan's name was originally to have been "Suzanne", while she was being conceived as an alien princess. [2]
According to the Brief Encounter story Roses, Susan's real name is (the Gallifreyan word for) "Rose". This allows a subtle connection between the first companions of the 1963 and 2005 versions of Doctor Who.
David Whitaker chose to change the character's name to Susan English for his novelisations, though it's unclear why he did so. The later unofficial novel Campaign reinstated this use in tribute, but all other novelisations and original novels have used the Susan Foreman name.
Other matters
- According to The Handbook: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to the Production of Doctor Who, among other young actresses considered for the role in 1963 were Anneke Wills and Jackie Lane, who each later played companions in the series. Director Waris Hussein is credited with recommending Carole Ann Ford for the part. According to the authorised scholarship of David J. Howe and friends, however, there is no evidence of Lane or Wills actually having read for the part, at least not for Rex Tucker, the original director assigned to the first serial. Lane doesn't even appear on the audition list that has survived in the archives, and Wills was marked as a no-show. (REF: The First Doctor Handbook)
- Carole Ann Ford's hairstyle as Susan was created by famed stylist Vidal Sassoon.
- Susan was dubbed in the German version of The Five Doctors by voice actor Marion Hartmann.

Owen Wilson Gives First Interview – on MySpace
The actor opens up Friday to pal Wes Anderson after the suicide attempt
Owen Wilson has given his first interview since his suicide attempt – to his longtime friend, director Wes Anderson.
In the interview, to be posted online Friday at midnight, Wilson talks with the director of his latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, as part of the MySpace Artist on Artist series, according to USA Today.
Wilson has been mum about the night when cops were called to his home for what a police report labeled an "attempt suicide" in August.
At the time, Wilson asked for privacy with a statement saying, "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."
There is no word on whether Wilson will address his recent troubles.
In September, at the Venice Film Festival, Anderson said that his friend was "doing well." He added: "When he's ready he's going to speak for himself much better than anyone else could. He has a very good way with words."
Wilson and Anderson have worked together on multiple projects, including Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums, which they co-wrote, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

In late 2012, Vancouver plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Hill gave a Tanzanian boy with little hope in life the chance at an education by replacing his thumb with one of his toes. He is now able to hold a pen.
The boy, who has albinism, was 12 years old when hit men paid by a witch doctor chopped off his right thumb, two of his fingers and badly injured his opposite arm. They were after his body parts, worth thousands on the black market due to a deep-rooted belief that they are endowed with magical powers. His parents were complicit in the attack.
This fall, Hill and a medical team from the University of B.C. will travel to East Africa, donating their time and expertise to help victims of similar attacks.
Pursued for their body parts
Albinism is a genetic condition that results in a lack of pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes, causing an extreme sensitivity to the sun and bright light. Discrimination against people who have the condition in Africa is widespread, takes many forms and dates back hundreds of years. Many people believe the body parts of a person with albinism possess magical powers capable of bringing great wealth when used in potions procured by witch doctors.
But it is only in the last few decades, with the advent of market economies, that witch doctors have been able to capitalize on the stigma in order to turn a quick profit, says Surrey businessman Peter Ash, who founded the charity Under the Same Sun in 2009 to improve the lives of people with albinism in Africa.
Ash, who has albinism himself and says he was beat up as a teenager because he looked different, felt he had to do something after he learned of the attacks several years ago while watching an undercover BBC report.
"These people are my brothers and sisters," he says.
Under the Same Sun has documented 128 killings and 174 attacks on people with albinism in Africa since 2009. The true number is likely much higher. Tanzania alone accounts for 139 of those reports.
The trade in albino body parts is lucrative. An arm will fetch about $3,000 US; an entire body is worth about $100,000, Ash says. Witch doctors procure them for rich politicians or businesspeople and hire hit men to carry out the attacks. It is not uncommon for the hit men to then pay parents to leave their child unattended or identify a time and place when they will be vulnerable.
"The kids are deeply rejected and stigmatized by their parents," Ash says. "In many cases, the mothers are abandoned by the fathers when the child is born because the father blames the mother for bringing the child into the world, even though genetically both parents have to carry the gene for albinism to produce a child with albinism. They don't know that. So the mother gets blamed and there's this idea that there's a curse in the village."
The situation can be compared to someone offering a Canadian tens of thousands to kill their rabid dog, Ash explains.
"It's going to harm somebody. It's not something I want in my life. Yes, it's my dog, but it's rabid and I've got a chance to make $100,000 here," he says, noting that the average income in Tanzania is $800 a year. "It wouldn't be hard to convince most people in Canada to do that."
One boy's journey
It was Adam Robert, the Tanzanian boy who had his fingers cut off, who brought Ash and Hill together.
When Ash met Robert in northern Tanzania, he was moved by the boy's plight and asked what he could do to help.
Robert had two requests. He did not want to go home, because his parents had been party to the attack. And, he wanted to go to school, but because of his missing fingers, found it impossible to hold a pen.
When Ash returned to Vancouver, he got in touch with the hand surgeon who had operated on his wife several years before. That surgeon suggested Robert might be a candidate for a toe-to-thumb implant and that Mark Hill was the surgeon to do it.
"In the world of hand surgery, it's like a triple bypass," Ash says. "It's the most complex hand surgery you could ever do."
Ash had Robert's medical records sent from Tanzania and showed Hill photographs of the wounds. Hill was convinced he could help.
Ash arranged for Robert and a translator to travel to Vancouver for the procedure. Hill assembled a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses, all willing to donate their time. Vancouver General Hospital donated the operating room, medications and equipment. It took almost 14 hours and when it was over, Robert could once again write his own name.
Local doctors help out
Each year, Hill visits Uganda as part of a UBC medical team to treat burn victims, who often injure themselves around outdoor cooking fires. Last year, having been moved by Robert's plight, he made a side trip to neighbouring Tanzania. There, he examined victims of both machete attacks and skin cancer, a condition to which people with albinism are particularly prone, especially when parents leave children out in the sun in an attempt to darken them.
Hill says he was horrified by what he saw.
"It's so hard to believe that that actually happens on Earth; parents sell their kids to get chopped up," he says.
He recalls being struck by the way children with albinism carried themselves, keeping their heads down and avoiding eye contact "like a dog that's been beaten."
He was not able to operate at the time because medical facilities in Tanzania are not set up for it. When the UBC team returns this fall, they will arrange to do the surgeries in Uganda, where such facilities exist.
The team will consist of four surgeons, as well as residents and hand therapists, who will donate their time. They will also bring surgical supplies, including sutures and anesthetic. In the two weeks the team is there, they hope to do between 40 and 50 operations, Hill says. Of those, one or two will be attack victims, some will be cooking-fire related and others have to do with congenital deformities and non-healing motorcycle injuries.
Hill's long-term goal is to set up a training program for plastic surgeons in Uganda, where there are just five to serve a population of 36 million, roughly the size of Canada. Tanzania, with a population of about 50 million, has even fewer, he says.
Fighting the stigma
But while Hill and his team can help heal the physical wounds, they are powerless to address the route of the problem: the stigma that relegates people with albinism to sub-human status.
Under the Same Sun is working to change that. The charity provides funds for children and youth with albinism to attend private schools and university in Tanzania and is directly supporting 320 students, Ash says. Some of the graduates have gone on to prestigious careers as government economists, journalists or teachers. Given time, Ash hopes future graduates who live and work in all walks of life will change the way society thinks about people with albinism.
Albinism is 10 times more common in Tanzania than Canada, but the stigma surrounding the condition is by no means confined to Africa, Ash says. People with albinism are typically portrayed in popular culture as disturbed killers with white hair and pink eyes, he says, citing films such as The Da Vinci Code and The Matrix Reloaded.
"Every single movie in the last 30 years that Hollywood has released that depicts a character with albinism, the character always is evil," he says. "You can't really separate that from what goes on in Africa. There's a global stigma in every culture that people with albinism present themselves, because we exist in every ethnicity."

Trial for Cady Way Trail shooting suspect postponed
Teenagers killed execution-style, officials say
One of the men accused of shooting and killing two high school students and then burning their bodies on the Cady Way Trail had his trial date pushed back.
Hector Rodriguez was scheduled to go to trial May 28 on charges of capital murder in the execution-style deaths of Winter Park teenagers Nick Presha and Jeremy Stewart.
Court records show the trial has been postponed until later in the year.
Rodriguez' co-defendant, Jesse Davis, pleaded guilty to killing the teens in April 2012. He was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
In December, Davis' mother, Patricia Hall, said that her son was taking the fall for Rodriguez.
Hall said she pleaded with her son in jail to tell the whole truth about who killed the teenagers, but he would not help investigators build their murder case against Rodriguez.

I cant believe March was the last time I posted, it's not for lack of work though. Here is one piece I had a particularly fun time making the past month or so.
I was lucky enough to be chosen, along with about eight other local artists, to partner up with the OSU Eco Car Program (check out some more info about them here) and 83 Gallery here in columbus to make a pretty unique piece. The long and short of it is we took old junk yard car hoods, and turned them into art! This is what the hood looked like after I got it and cleaned it off. I kind of wish I had a picture of it when it was all covered in rust and dirt, but I was too eager to start working to think of it.
I chose one with a hole in the center because I knew it would be fun to try and do something with. So step one was getting it clean and prettied up, then came the gesso. It was interesting to see it go through the next couple of stages as it went from black to white to bright orange/red, then ended up mostly blue.
I recently did a piece entitled "Think Happy Thoughts" that had a lone island. I really enjoyed how that piece turned out and was excited to try and tweak it and bring it to a much bigger scale, I think the hood was close to 4 feet on both sides. Thats quite a step up from the 3" or 2" paintings I usually do. I did want to bring a more graffiti influenced feel to it as well, so I added in the arrows and stylized clouds to bring attention to that tiny spot in the middle of the hood. I wonder what that is?

Analysts and media op-ed writers have spent the past couple of days dissecting and digesting the Iraq War Report presented by the US military commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, and his State Department sidekick, Ambassador Ryan Crocker.
Perhaps the two most significant points that those who watched the testimony will remember are (1) no plans for a troop withdrawal for the time being, and (2) Iran is to blame for everything that has gone wrong.
The testimony also contrasted sharply with earlier statements by President George W. Bush and General Petraeus about how "astonishingly normal things have become in Baghdad." One of course has to speculate on what benchmark of normalcy Washington is working to.
At the time of writing, a correspondent colleague of mine had just described by MSN a mad dash out of the Sadr City district of Baghdad after a fire-fight exploded not 10 feet from where she and other journalists were standing. The word "normalcy" did not feature in her description of events.
Coming as it does against this dramatic increase in violence in Baghdad and elsewhere, the Petraeus-Crocker testimony paints a very odd picture of normalcy -- one that in their words is "fragile and reversible."
In fact, with the exception of rhetoric-filled speeches from Bush himself, the one word we rarely, if ever hear, is that the road to peace, democracy and stability in Iraq is "irreversible."
Appearing on PressTV's political discussion program, "Middle East Today," former Senator Mike Gravel said what struck him the most was the repeated reference to "fragile and reversible."
"Obviously the tactic of bribing the Sunni warlords will fail the minute we stop bribing them. And then of course the cowardly act of blaming Iraqi President Nuri al-Maliki for the failure in Basra, of saying it was all his initiative when we were totally complicit."
Gravel said the forces loyal to anti-occupation cleric Muqtada al-Sadr had proven to be much stronger than anticipated and blamed a lack of intelligence for the failure.
Astonishingly, Gravel said, there have been cases where professional Arabic and Farsi linguists have been discharged from the military because they were gay and as a consequence "our intelligence is non-existent."
Sabrina Schaeffer, a Washington-based political analyst said there are possibly two things that could be taken away from the report.
"The first is that we are making a lot of progress both politically and militarily on the ground. And second that a premature withdrawal would be a disaster, and would overturn what they described as a fragile and reversible situation on the ground," she said.
Sabah Jawad, secretary of the London-based Iraqi Democrats Against War, dismissed reports of progress.
"While there may have been some changes in the months immediately after the surge in US troop levels, in the past few days we have seen some 17 American soldiers killed since Sunday."
He said the United States is still in a quagmire in Iraq and is trying to solve its problems by flexing its muscles and urging the al-Maliki government to take stronger action, especially in the south of Iraq.
Senator Gravel also took issue with Schaeffer's upbeat assessment.
"I really don't understand how Sabrina can come and say there's progress," he said. "But what is worse is the outright lies presented to the American people that Iran is responsible for what is going on."
Gravel said Washington is trying to develop a concept of a proxy war being waged between Iran and Iraq.
"There is no evidence, none at all," he said, "And if you go in deeper into the American military, you have army officers, captains, majors, colonels, who will tell you there is no evidence at all about anything coming over the Iranian border into Iraq. But then you get Petraeus and other generals making these statements."
Gravel wondered how they could make statements that the mortars used on the heavily fortified Green Zone, for example, are coming from Iran. "These are outright lies," he said.
Gravel said he could see the same policy being employed now that was used by the US to widen the war in South East Asia some 40 years ago.
"This is what happened in Vietnam. We went in and attacked Cambodia and Laos. They had nothing to do with what was going on in Vietnam. All it did was expand a murderous part of the South East Asian War."
Gravel said Iran is a natural ally of the United States, "Iran has been helping us stabilize the situation in Iraq until we can come to our senses and get out. Our guest here Sabrina says she sees progress, but even Petraeus admitted he sees no light at the end of the tunnel."
Schaeffer took the floor to clarify what she says are some of the successes.
"I think Petraeus did an excellent job of explaining this incident in Basra, but overall we have seen a reduction in both ethnic and sectarian violence, terrorist attacks are down, the Iraqis are controlling half of their 18 provinces, and we are seeing that al-Qaida in Iraq has significantly diminished," she said, "And I think we can give credit to the troop surge and Petraeus' experience in counterinsurgency intelligence. So I don't think we can underestimate the improvements that are taking place on the ground."
The recent surge in violence, especially in Sadr City that continued over the weekend would not immediately support these views, with correspondents on the scene saying that for the first time they are quite openly seeing snipers on the roofs of buildings and more disturbances on the streets.
Gravel dismissed suggestions that the surge or Petraeus' expertise was responsible for the pre-Basra reduction in the insurgency across Iraq. Gravel said the reduction had been bought with US taxpayer money and that the relative calm would end as quickly as the money did.
"Do you know how much money Petraeus has been handing out to Sunni warlords?" he asked. "To suppress the violence. Do you really have any idea?"
Schaeffer said she acknowledged there is an impulse to want to put a price tag on the cost of the war, but that doing so, or putting a time-line on how long the war would take, "is just irresponsible."
Jawad, taking much the same line as Gravel, was deaf to any claims of progress.
"I will tell you of the successes in Iraq," he said, "One million killed by the US occupation, five million dispersed people internally and externally. More than a million widows, five million orphans, 150,000 people arrested in centres run by the United States in Iraq, and there is a catalogue of catastrophes inflicted on the people of Iraq by this war. And the sooner they withdraw," he added, "the better for all of us."
Schaeffer argued that the picture being painted that the US forces were universally unwelcome was misleading and pointed out that the Iraqi government has vocalised and demonstrated its long-term commitment to cooperation to achieve final and lasting peace and democracy in Iraq.
Gravel, citing independent opinion polls, begged to differ.
"This is an army of occupation, and if you look at the polls the people of Iraq overwhelmingly want us to leave," he said, "and we should honour that."
Gravel said the United States invaded Iraq on the back of fraud and lies by the Bush administration: "This is criminal of the order that should go to the world criminal court."
The former Senator from Alaska said the only way to achieve stability would be for the United States to admit error, and then go to Iraq's neighbours, including Iran, and ask for their help in bringing stability to Iraq.
"Here you have President Ahmadinejad of Iran, who I don't have any particular truck with by the way, but he goes to Iraq and he is more popular than any American official."
The American leader, Gravel said, goes to Iraq and he has to sneak around in the dark of night with total security. "Ahmadinejad goes in there and he is treated as a friend, does that not communicate something to anyone?"
Continuing the war under the illusion that progress is being made, Gravel said, is indicative of how out of touch Bush really is.
"George Bush is not on this planet, truthfully," Gravel said, "He really has no sense of reality of what is going on. Last week he told the American people we are not in a recession, while Alan Greenspan a day later said we were, and this is something the American people know. Bush is divorced from reality whether it's about Iraq, Iran or the economy. He is not plugged into reality."
Gravel said Washington's apparent policy to attack Iran could possibly trigger a nuclear exchange.
Gravel's concerns were shared by Schaeffer, "I think the point that attacking Iran might trigger a nuclear war is what's concerning the Bush administration. We have to take the actions and rhetoric of President Ahmadinejad very seriously. It would be irresponsible not to do so. And I think we have to remember this is a man who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, a man who has denied the Holocaust."
She said here is a man who has vowed to knock down global powers, and we have to assume that he's pointing his finger at the United States.
Schaeffer's comment regarding "wiping Israel off the map" is an oft-quoted mistranslation, but one frequently used to attack Iran's president and his policies.
"Actually he did not say he would wipe Israel off the map," Jawad explained. "This statement has been corrected but it is still repeated by US officials. He did not say this, but I am not surprised to hear this repeated all the time."Former Senator blasts US occupation during lively television debate on Iraq
The actual statement made by Ahmadinejad called for the "removal of the Zionist regime in Jerusalem from the pages of history." Many experts say that you can "assume" or "infer" Ahmadinejad's real intentions are to wipe Israel off the map, but the simple fact remains, he did not say it. They point out that Washington's aim in invading Iraq was to wipe the Baathist regime in Baghdad from the pages of history, but not to wipe Iraq off the map.
One of the cornerstones of the Petraeus-Crocker report was what they described as the "malign Iranian involvement in Iraq" and Tehran's support for special groups that target American troops and other coalition interests in the country.
President Bush later told a select group at a press conference that America would do what was necessary to prevent Iranian interference in Iraq, a thinly veiled threat of military action.
But Gravel said to his knowledge, there is still no substantiated evidence that Iran is playing a military role in the insurgency.
"It is being fabricated by the White House and being bought into by some of these senior military leaders. This is all part of the neocon plan to gain hegemony, economic hegemony in the Middle East, and that is American imperialism that we have to reverse."
Schaeffer acknowledges that the engagement and cooperation of Iraq's neighbours is an important factor in the eventual stabilisation of Iraq and its efforts to achieve peace and democracy.
"But I think, for instance, when Senator Obama talks about opening up diplomatic channels with President Ahmadinejad, I think just helps to legitimise a leader that unfortunately has been irresponsible in his rhetoric."
But as Senator Gravel pointed out earlier in the discussion, being irresponsible in his rhetoric is a description that could just as easily be applied to Bush.
The broadcast version of the debate can be viewed on the PressTV archive
