| 59 | Max Despard was born in 1892 of Huguenot and Anglo-Irish ancestry. He served in the British navy in the First World War and was awarded the DSC `in recognition of exemplary gallantry'. His active career in the navy came to an end however in 1925 when a gun exploded next to him, tearing his hip and filling his thigh with shrapnel. Before and during the Second World War he served as naval attaché in Eastern Europe, directing clandestine operations on the Danube designed to stop supplies getting to Germany. Tall and flamboyant and signing his name `M' on official documents, he may be some of the inspiration for James Bond's boss, but after the war his life went into decline. In constant pain from his wound, he was not re-employed by the navy and retired on a pension that only took into account his active service. In 1949 his wife died of cancer and he and his children parted. Annabelle Despard was only six at the time and went to live first with relatives in Norway and then four years later with her much older, married sister back in England. She saw Max infrequently and the family never properly explained to her what had happened to her mother nor why she was separated from her father. This book is her attempt to discover more about this painful period - still a family no-go area - and about the father she hardly knew. I'm a daughter of the sister she went to live with. I met Max (my grandfather) once, when I was six. I welcome this book. And, because Annabelle is an accomplished writer (6 books of poetry, another memoir, and 4 books connected to her work teaching English at a Norwegian university), and because Max's life was both extraordinary and of its time, and because every family has its secrets, others will too. -------------------------------- Maximilian Carden Despard had a namesake, his nephew, born in March 1892, the son of Captain H. J. Despard, afterwards the Chief Constable of Lanarkshire and Beatrice Lorne Jarvis, daughter of Thomas Jarvis of Mount Jarvis, Antigua. Isn’t it fascinating how many links there are with the Caribbean “There are many ways of not having a father”. These are the opening words to the story of Maximilian Carden Despard, written by his youngest daughter, Annabelle, who felt like she knew him all to little. She pieced together the story of an officer, born in 1892, who achieved glory and honours in a dramatic action of Dover in 1917. A post-war accident forced him to abandon his career in the Royal Navy and in the Thirties he started a new life as a navel attache, at a time when there was another enemy to face. In Yugoslavia he was a significant mover behind the scenes in Bond-like exploits to hamper the German war-machine. | Despard, Maximilian Carden (P285)

| 67 | Peacefully at her home in Kingston on April 4, 2017. Born in Winnipeg in 1938 to the late Gerald and Kathleen Despard, Sandra was a graduate of Neuchatel Junior College, Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing (1960), and McGill University. A former Head Nurse at Toronto Western Hospital, she was at the time the youngest person to have been appointed to that position. She dealt with a number of serious illnesses during her life and met them with an inner strength that was an inspiration to all who knew her. Sandra loved life, and the joy and love that she gave to her family and friends was matched by the joy and love that she received in return. She leaves her husband and best friend Stephen, her children Michael and Kristin (Germain Drolet), grandchildren Jacob and Maggie, and her sister Judith Cross (Stephen). The family would like to thank the staff of KGH Palliative Care and St. Elizabeth, and in particular her caregiver angel Rhonda, for all their support in allowing Sandra to remain at home with her family until her passing. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation on Wednesday, April 12 from 7 to 9 pm and a memorial service on Thursday, April 13 at 1 pm, followed by a reception. All services will be held at the James Reid Funeral Home, 1900 John Counter Blvd., Kingston. Memorial donations may be made to the CNIB and the Kingston Humane Society. | Despard, Sandra Margaret (P604)

| 72 | Steven Slosberg: Midlife mutuations in the life and art of Clem Despard Advertisement Advertisement Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatrical Club in October 1951, with the actor Fred Gwynne, front row center, and his good friend, Clem Despard, directly behind him.| Courtesy of Alice Despard June 25, 2017 12:00AM By Steven Slosberg Special to The Sun Oh, to have known Clement Despard, late of Stonington, purveyor of whimsical visuals and social commentary in wall-hanging boxes and nautical “paintings” and a rare soul who experienced several midlife conversions, including religious, from businessman to artist and from Republican to liberal Democrat. For the record, I did not know him, but own a piece of him — one of those nautical mixed media compositions — a jaunty 2-by-3-foot rendering, in a few elegant lines and cut-out paper sails glued on particle board, of the A. G. Ropes, a three-masted cargo carrier. It was the largest wooden ship afloat when it was launched in 1884, and it was later converted into a schooner barge after being demasted by a typhoon in 1905 near Japan. Conversions were central to Clem Despard’s being. Despard, who died in Stonington in 2013 at age 84, has been accorded one posthumous showing of his work: a group exhibition at the La Grua Center in Stonington Borough in 2015, along with the late artists Helen Hooker and Fuller Potter. Shortly before that show, I had chanced upon Despard’s art in his son-in-law’s studio, South Studio Six, in the Velvet Mill in Stonington. I was immediately charmed by the A.G. Ropes and bought it. The Ropes, though typical of Despard’s multimedia creations, differs from his other paintings of vessels, for which he used sheets of aluminum foil bonded to rayon. The man knew mirth as well as design. Today, much of Despard’s art — the box constructions and the nautical paintings — grace the walls of the Stonington village home of South Studio Six owner Stuart Chandler and his wife, Alice, on Main Street. In the decades before he died, Despard had exhibitions at the Gallery Henoch in New York, art galleries in Stonington, New Canaan, Conn., and Washington, D.C., and a one-man show at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London. Curious about him since I purchased his work, I sat down the other day with Alice Despard to talk about her father. Clem Despard was born in Rumson, N. J. His father’s family’s business was Despard & Co. Inc., marine insurance brokers in New York. He attended the Pomfret School in Connecticut, and then Harvard, where he befriended the actor Fred Gwynne, a fellow member of the Hasty Pudding Club, and the author and bon vivant athlete George Plimpton, when both were on the staff of the Harvard Lampoon. He also was a good friend of John Updike, a few years behind him at Harvard. He was an officer in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and then pursued a career in business, but his heart was elsewhere. He and his first wife had two daughters, and he eventually married twice more. Alice Despard said it was in the early 1970s, when his mother died and his second wife left him, that Despard, devastated by both events, turned to art as a refuge and relief. “He started painting religious imagery,” she said. “He went through a religious conversion. He also awakened to his real interests.” By that time he had already turned to social activism, protesting against construction of the World Trade Center, which doomed New York’s Radio Row. Then he and a friend, Thomas B. Mechling, came up with the concept of the “Anti-Corporation.” As a New Yorker story explained in October 1971: “The idea is to set up a for-profit corporation whose revenue would consist chiefly of damages recovered through lawsuits against other corporations. The bases for the lawsuits would be misdeeds of other corporations and also public bodies such as municipalities, particularly in regard to pollution and products that defraud the buyer.” Despard’s nautical paintings, executed mostly during the 1970s, when he summered in Stonington, were often displayed on the side of a barn behind the Main Street home where his daughter now lives. In the 1980s, he turned to box constructions, many of them employing household items and found objects — decanters, bowling pins, an upended bottle disguised as a balloon — to create fanciful worlds behind glass. But he also created boxes to express outrage. One, hanging upstairs in Alice’s home, depicts Kristallnacht, the wave of anti-Jewish violence in Germany and Austria in 1938. Despard, inside the wooden box, used a broken glass window to frame a scene of village destruction. He also created a box celebrating the Solidarity labor union founded in Poland in 1980. He spent the last 15 years of his life year-round in Stonington. Some of his ashes are in a memorial garden at Calvary Episcopal Church in the borough. Many of the boxes were sold by galleries, but enough are still around the Despard home, as well as an array of the nautical paintings, to furnish a one-man show. Steven Slosberg lives in Stonington and was a longtime reporter and columnist for The Day in New London. He may be reached at maayan72@aol.com | Despard, Clement L (P350)

| 75 | The Reverend George Despard was born in County Meath in 1830, the second son of Captain George Despard.

| 76 | The Times of Monday, Feb. 28, 1803, thus refers to the burying of Despard’s remains :—‘The interment of Colonel Despard to-morrow will depend upon the arrival of his son, who has been sent for to France to be present on the occasion. . This young gentle man is of respectable character, and has been in Paris about three months, with his wife. He was an ensign in Ireland, and was left a comfortable maintenance by his grandfather.” | Despard, Unknown (P156)

| 78 | While the Rev Francis was still alive Atkinson wrote in The Irish Tourist “Larch-hill, nearly south of Mountrath, is a place worth seeing. Its beauties, as you approach the place from that town, commence in a neighbourhood rather wild and heathy, and by this contrast are rendered more particularly striking. The house, though not much elevated, commands a good prospect over the demesne to the mountains of Cullinagh, about fourteen miles distant. These mountains are part of an estate recently purchased by Lord Norbury, and in that country they form an important object in its best landscapes. The improvements on Larch-hill display great taste and judgment. Of these a beautiful circular lake at the foot of the lawn, with the ornamental planting on its margin, was not the least remarkable. The prospect over this lake through an ample vista in the plantations to a fine rising country, which terminates in the mountains we have just noticed, was alone sufficient- to animate and render brilliant the whole landscape—but Larch-hill is not alto-gether dependent upon this grand feature, for its character of beauty. The little plantations, which on hills remote from the interior improvements to the scenery, and give the spectator an idea of the grandeur of space, come in also for our share of admiration, in common with the other proofs of taste and judgment which that scene exhibits.” | Despard, Francis Green Rev (P208)
