Biography of David I. Harvie MLS CD


An Introduction to David I. Harvie, Chief Scout and Founder of the Outriders of Reality.




David I. Harvie is a renegade librarian and library apostate. He is the Associate Library Director at the Stratford Public Library, Ontario, Canada. His responsibilities included Systems and Technical Services, Physical Plant, and Strategic Planning and anything bizarre or out of the ordinary. In his spare time he is plotting the overthrow of civilization as we know it.

Mr. Harvie is a dynamic figure often seen scaling buildings in downtown Stratford (but most usually on the Library’s roof shoveling snow). He is an internationally acclaimed chef in Tibetan seafood, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

He does not perspire.

The laws of physics do not apply to him.

Children and small animals trust David Harvie.

He balances, he weaves, he dodges, he frolics, and pays his bills on time. He breeds prize-winning clams in his spare time.  Mr. Harvie has won bullfights in Spain, cliff diving competitions in Ceylon and spelling bees at the Kremlin.

He has played Hamlet, performed open-heart surgery, and has spoken with Elvis.

He is old enough to know better, is not married, has no children, and has no cats.

But the most important thing about David Harvie is to know when he is lying.

He has always been who he is becoming.

The Punkeydoodles Corner Expedition


The legendary Punkeydoodles corner was rediscovered by David Harvie, Chief Scout of the Outriders of Reality last summer. After overcoming incredible hardships, like filling the gas tank and driving in relatively straight lines down the highway without attracting the attention of local law enforcement agencies, this mystical site of ancient librarianship was once again discovered. Shortly after the historic visit, local inhabitants noted the disappearance of a local street sign. The investigation continues to this day.

Michal Calder and David Cross Visit Stratford


And Live to Tell About It!

Michal and David arrived in Stratford via train on Friday night at 7:40pm. They, and their luggage, were wisked to their luxurious suite at the David Harvie B&B, where they enjoyed two nights on the pull-out couch. Activities included two plays at the Festival (Anthony and Cleopatra, and Troilus and Cressida) and fine dining at Mr. Dog. They even got to watch as David was fitted for his new suit! Other activities consisted of trying to find a restaurant for dinner on Saturday night, and a gift for David C's brother in Winnipeg. The happy couple left Stratford on Sunday night at 10:30 pm after the VIA train was delayed for 1 hour by a renegade herd of cows (as rumour has it). A box of Rheo Thompson Mint Smoothie chocolates was reportedly in their possession for the train ride home. How many chocolates survived the journey is unknown.
