I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.

I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.

FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

To the readers: maybe this post is sincere and maybe it isn't. I'm boosting in case it is sincere. But, it does have that "urgent" feel to it, that corporate spam trainers warn against. So if you are James Mast ... respond to this person but verify via other avenues that it is real.

Sorry to jmb, this has to be said these days.

@bjb not a problem. I appreciate your concern.

I will recommend that folks with concern read this obituary from a few years ago of Sadie (Moses' wife) in which I was quoted.

@jmb @bjb before boosting I read the linked CBC article. I noticed that James Cardinal Mast had an issue with the US border (which of course he has a sovereign right to cross) while travelling “to care for his adoptive father.” I noticed that James called his adoptive parents “his only real family.” There’s a world of pain and colonial violence behind those words, and there is also love that made me certain James would want to know of Moses’ death. I hope he sees this somehow.

@jmb You might be able to make contact with him via the CBC reporter.
