Quebec City is one of our favourite places to visit, and the Clarendon Hotel <http://www.hotelclarendon.com/about-en.html> one of our favourite places to stay.  It is famous, not for being Quebec City's oldest operating hotel, but for being the favourite drinking hole of a young wireless navigator when he was stationed in Ancienne-Lorette during the war.  Later, during the 50's, Tom met with then-Minister of Social Services, Rene Levesque, at breakfast in this same hotel.
