Spreading Pornography

George Gray my stepfather worked for the DSC Department of Street Cleaning for the City of Toronto, and in the course of performing his duties of Garbage Man they would pick up Playboy, and Penthouse magazines, as well as many others. When everyone at home had read them I would take them to work and distribute them even further afield. The CNR had their own internal mail system, so I would bring them to work and send them anonymously out across the country mostly to the inaccessible regions where there were no roads, so some guy when opening his mail at Churchill Man. or Moosonee Ont. would open his railroad mail to find a spicy magazine in it not knowing where it came from or why. I sent out hundreds of these out over the years, and in fact other ones that I thought would be of interest, and unavailable to individuals in many remote areas. My only hope is that some one would enjoy them from time to time. I had read an article in the paper one day that said when sending out a cheque, or an income tax return, send a little joke with it, and also an article that mentioned reading material in the remote ares was hard to come by, so I just took it the next step forward.
