“Press Release for In Harms Way“

A newly released CD by a Calgary songwriter includes a 16 page booklet which is as vivid as the music, ‘In Harms Way’ is what Phyllis Wheaton calls a Legacy Project where the music tells the stories and the descriptive booklet leads the reader and listener on toward their own ‘acts of peace’.

The Izzy Doll has become a national phenomenon. It is the story of how Carol Isfeld answered her son’s frustration for the children of war and began crocheting dolls that would fit her soldier sons pocket. When Mark Isfeld was killed demining in Croatia in 1994 his troop continued to give out these dolls and more and more Canadian moms and grandmothers became involved in the cause. ICROSS Canada (started by and supported by Canadian Veterans) asked if they could give out Izzy Comfort dolls to the poorest of the poor. To date over 300,000 home made dolls have been given out to the children of war and the poorest of the poor.

CD Release

Included on this disc is a song written by Carol Isfeld, composition by Jan Randall called "My Son, Our Son".

Carol, Silver Cross Mother, died in August of this year, but her son's Izzy Doll legacy continues.

The first track also entitled In Harms Way, speaks of other legacy projects begun by the parents of soldiers lost. “A tribute to our soldiers present and past’ says Wheaton, “ this project honours the moms and dads, spouses and families who have inspired me with their belief in their soldier, the courage to face criticism and the ever presents possibility of their ultimate sacrifice. Having risen from their grief their Legacy Projects are world changing.”
