Murray Gollin
Funeral services will be held tomorrow in Israel for Murray Gollin, 21-year-old Montreal broadcaster-writer who was killed Saturday in a highway accident near Tel Aviv.
The three-car collision at As Kelon also claimed the lives of four Israelis and injured nine others. Recent letters to friends and relatives in Montreal indicated Mr. Gollin was due to return home almost immediately from an eight-week writing tour of Israel.
His wife Andrea, originally of Boston, is expecting their first child in six months' time. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.K. Gollin, of 5422 Brodeur avenue, left yesterday for the funeral and burial services in Israel.
A public remembrance service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday in the chapel of St. Patrick's Church, 460 Dorchester Boulevard west.
Mr. Gollin graduated from West Hill High School. While attending school he was associated with theatre drama and later did assignments for McGill University Radio.
He was one of two English-language program co-ordinators at the Youth Pavilion of Expo 67, and when the international Exhibition ended he went into freelance broadcasting and writing to a full-time degree.
Mr. Gollin was involved particularly with CBC Radio and prepared a number of documentaries concerning pop music and the so-called hippie community in Montreal for local and network broadcast.
He wrote several feature articles for the Entertainments supplement of The Montreal Star during the past year.
A week of mourning in Israel will follow the funeral and burial services tomorrow. His wife and parents are the sole immediate survivors.

Remembering Murray recently (because Murray & Vincent & I were good friends and because Vincent died just before New Year's, a gravitational meditation as it were) ... considering the changes since then it was most surprising to reach out my hand tonight and immediately find the obituary I had saved more than forty years ago - tucked into the back page of a passport - the only surviving bits of paper from those days.
Andrea Haskins invited me to stand as godfather when the baby was born and I went down to White Plains NY for the christening.
She was a dancer, a beautiful and graceful woman, tiny. Those were the 60's and our lives were mostly chaos; that was the style, the type. We did not 'keep in touch'. I never saw her again. I cannot even remember if the baby was a boy or a girl - a girl I think. I must have known her name but it's gone. ... Marie?

Paul Gaugin, Where do we come from? What Are We? Where Are We Going? 1897: [The choice of this image is not accidental - it figures centrally in ‘The Social Conquest of Earth’ by Edward O. Wilson mentioned below. He calls it Gauguin's 'master work' and maybe it is.]  ... is anyone out there seeing the least bit of light at the end of the tunnel???
    Carlos worked out until he became a rhinoceros. Carlos and Solange married in 2004. Two years later they had their first unicorn.    Donkeys, dinosaurs ... whatever:
