Anthony Thorn and Eric Etchen have been friends since the 1950’s. They met in Regina, continued their friendship in Toronto, and maintained correspondence over two main periods, 1959 to 1980, and 1992 to the present. The letters from Thorn also included many photographs of his work, invitations, a Paris diary, and other material. The Etchen Files where very kindly offered to the University of Regina by Mr. Etchen via Anthony Thorn.
