JAN RUBES (1920-2009)

Canadian actor and opera singer Jan Rubes has died at the age of 89. Like many of my generation, I first became aware of him back in the 1970s when he hosted a program by the name of Guess What, a show produced by the "Ontario Educational Communications Authority" (or OECA, now known as "TVOntario").

Many others would recognize Jan Rubes from Peter Weir's 1985 film Witness.
