Muriel Liffiton Biography Published

Cathy Converse, British Columbian historian and writer, recently completed a book on Muriel Liffiton, who wrote The Curve of Time under her married name, M. Wylie Blanchet. The hardcover biography, published by TouchWood Editions, went to press the first week of March 2008, and is now available through your local bookseller under the title, Following the Curve of Time: The Legendary M. Wylie Blanchet.

Muriel's friends knew her as "Capi," the captain of a 25 foot boat, Caprice, which she and her children used to explore the coastal waters of British Columbia. The Converse biography is a wonderful combination of Capi's life story with modern day accounts of the seacoast locations Capi visited. You can read the Liffiton Family History article on Muriel in the section titled "Capi," or download it from the Archives section. But the new book has the full story.

David Liffiton with Syracuse Crunch

DateWednesday, July 15, 2009 at 7:35PM

The Syracuse Crunch announced on July 13th the signing of David Liffiton to play defense for the American Hockey League team. Syracuse, the affiliate of the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets, finished fifth last season in the AHL's Western Conference North Division.

In 2008-09 David played 25 games for the Danish team Esbjerg IK. He scored three goals, was credited with six assists, and was in the penalty box 84 minutes. In an interview with the Syracuse Post-Standard, David explained he was cleared for play last November after wrist surgery in the summer. The less-physical Danish hockey allowed him to heal while he kept his skills sharp.
