But in many ways I now realize that the ambitious musical enterprises centered around Gesu Church and the Miami Opera Guild must have seemed like \u201ccoming home\u201d to him. I fear my memories of our father mostly revolve around later financial hard times, and it is only now that I look at photos of our parents\u2019 young adult years and realize how much fun they were having. Not long ago one of my nieces, Emily, expressed how much fun something was\u2014and then she repeated it on another occasion: \u201cIt was fun!\u201d When I re-read our mother\u2019s memoir, and our father\u2019s journal, it struck me that they said exactly the same thing, over and over again\u2014every time there was a gathering of people and there was music.

Although there was a difference of nearly fourteen years in their ages, there are several parallel experiences in our parents\u2019 lives. One of them is that they did both write detailed journals of their lives in their late teens and, in our father\u2019s case, until he turned 24 years old. In those, they ponder very seriously how they can make something of themselves in their future. From her account, our mother\u2019s pursuit of a music career in radio can be seen as a careful, earnest, step-by-step process. In contrast, our father\u2019s approach was a full-on improvisation: He turned into an impresario in any family group or community he happened to land amongst\u2014playing any one or more of a half dozen instruments and organizing impromptu concerts and plays. Although in Miami he was likely a bit shy at first because his English was not very good in the mid 1940s, I\u2019d guess he readily jumped into the music with both feet. When\u2014at age 36\u2014he found the Gesu Church Drama Guild community and Marian Dawson he must have realized pretty quickly his good fortune.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Each on their own, and together, they quickly established a large network of friends in the Miami community\u2014some of them in connection with their day jobs, but most of them related to music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As the years went on, they eventually formed a tight-knit group of people from several church choirs, opera troupes, and drama projects whose friendships endured their entire lives\u2014even when live musical presentations on the scale they had grown up with were no longer the fashion. Their friends in Miami\u2014and friends and family in French Canada\u2014offered invaluable support at many critical junctures. As Paul Emile became director of music for additional schools and churches in the Miami metropolitan area, our family became the friends of other large families involved in the numerous musical productions and choirs he taught and directed.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Music_Gondoliers_Verso_1948-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Like Marian, Paul Emile was a card-carrying union musician in the American Federation of Labor\u2019s American Guild of Variety Artists. He also belonged to the Knights of Columbus, the Glee Club WPB, and the Gesu Drama Guild. But, for the most part, his gainful employment was with garages in the Miami area, doing what he had done with his company in Montreal, as well as just about any other self employment or contract work opportunity he could find.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder whether he may have left Montreal at least partly because he realized that his many years of training to be a professional music director\u2014and then the dearth of available positions he encountered in the 1930s decade of the Depression when he graduated\u2014meant he was never going to attain his goal in Canada. From 1937 through 1940 he had devoted nearly all of his energies to making a success of turning his father\u2019s and his uncle\u2019s business establishments into an automobile rental and repair shop\u2014until the economy recovered and younger family members could better sustain themselves. Now in his mid-thirties by 1946, he was not going to be able to attain a posting in music in the face of that history and younger competition. In contrast, Miami was growing rapidly, it had plenty of garages that he could work in to earn a living wage, and he already knew friends in Florida who could attest to his skill. In particular, Florida also had almost<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>no professional musicians who could direct large-scale music programs. Unfortunately\u2014 or maybe he chose not to care\u2014nearly all of those many potential or open positions would pay very little. It would not be the first time that money meant almost nothing to our father, until there was none.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper.jpg 1481w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-768x830.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-953x1030.jpg 953w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-1388x1500.jpg 1388w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-653x705.jpg 653w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_MusicNewspaper-450x486.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For all that he must have felt a failure in music in Montreal and Quebec, today he could take considerable pride in the many fine musicians who have come from his hometown in the years since. In his youth, Paul Emile was an early student of the conservatory-based music training regimen that has since matured into a world-class system, exemplified by the recent appointment of Montreal\u2019s Orchestra M\u00e9tropolitain Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9quin as music director-designate of the Metropolitan Opera in New York\u2014as well as director of the venerable Philadelphia Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>I never really thought about it before, but I now realize that we children were not first generation college or post-secondary school attendees. Both of our parents attended college, our father finishing six years, albeit some of that in seminary. In our mother\u2019s case, she was highly competent as a communications operator, rated \u201cvery good\u201d with training at the Radio and Code Institute in 1943. I remember that for years after she stopped working, radio engineers would come to our home to have her transmit code in special cases. She could do so at speed, cold.<\/p>\n<p>Marian entered the University of Miami part-time in 1945-1946\u2014probably in the old Flat Iron building in Coral Gables near City Hall that she often pointed out to us children and where family friend Frank Strahan earned his law degree\u2014while she worked full-time. She took Drama A213 &#8211; Radio Script Writing and made an A\u2014at that time a genuinely superior mark\u2014in a trimester of studies. I never knew about her university studies\u2014nor about our father\u2019s college studies and journal\u2014until I carefully worked my way through our parents\u2019 papers after they both had died. She kept transcripts of two radio shorts from her university course: One for Prince Matchabelli Cosmetics\u2019 Stradivari perfume and another for Sudsy soap flakes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our father\u2019s journal is an extraordinary find\u2014I had absolutely no idea it existed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Among many other things it helps to explain many of the old photographs of scenes and people he kept all of his life. It is, of course, in French\u2014and in his truly terrible handwriting. Although he obviously writes quite well in French, in contrast to his almost incomprehensible written English, it has taken me several weeks to decipher the longhand of the 50 pages. He learned English, he said, from reading both French and English newspapers in Montreal. I remember French Canadian friends and family bringing down to him piles of LaPresse and cases of real Moulson beer when they visited. For that matter, I think he always read English very well but he was never particularly nuanced in spoken English. Our mother was such a good writer in English that she likely helped him with writing all his life\u2014and she probably helped him with his speech in the early years of their marriage. Otherwise, he pretty much made his views known by force of personality. Especially in his teaching jobs, and later with the larger musical programs, she must have been an enormous help. It was a different time. As she says in a memoir written in the year 2000:<\/p>\n<p><em>In my twenties, I thought I would make my living by being a singer or actress. In my mid-twenties I married your Grandfather and gave all of my energies to him and then into loving all of my dear children \u2013 taking care of them and loving them and their dear father \u2013 your Grandpa!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That she did.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942.jpg 1205w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-776x1030.jpg 776w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-1130x1500.jpg 1130w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-531x705.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dawson-Marian_Journal_1942-450x598.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929.jpg 1238w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-768x993.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-797x1030.jpg 797w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-1161x1500.jpg 1161w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-545x705.jpg 545w, https:\/\/www.bluenotegarden.com\/familyhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pepin-Paul_Journal_1929-450x582.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Church and musical theater programs drew both Marian Frances and Paul Emile like moths to flames.
