Willy & Me

Can two people in their mid-sixties—totally different in background, lifestyle, and outlook—meet and fall in love? You bet, and the story of their romance is a heartwarmer. Willy & Me is a warm, funny, life affirming love story. And it’s true, recorded as it unfolded by the artist and writer Doris Paterson.



Doris Paterson was born in England in 1924. She came to Canada as a war bride in 1947 and now lives and works in Mission, British Columbia, Canada. She has been a productive artist working in many media for most of her life. The mother of ten children, she is a published author and poet as well as a widely exibited artist, and her works are held in public and private collections throughout Canada and the United States.
