The storm broke - in the late 70's Peter Ray aka Peter Rakobowchuk fired as news director at CKO Radio Vancouver for racial slurs

 



Peter Ray real name Peter Rakobowchuk in the late 70's then news director at CKO All News Radio Vancouver FIRED for RACIAL SLURS read his eulogy of a prominent member of an East-Indian community, who died that morning while on vacation staying at a desert resort hotel in the States. Then, still ON AIR, he added an always "very funny" typically  Peter  Ray  comment  "only a r...... ..... .. .. s..... .. .. drown .. ....!" degrading many people...

He was FIRED at once.

But no worries, he was rehired soon at his old workplace by Broadcast News Montreal (The Canadian Press). 

I was in love with him yet not knowing him well enough I believed his lies that he didn't know what he was reading, so I gave up my superb job as modeling director at Jerry Lodge Talent Agency (home then to Michael J. Fox, Kim Cattrall and many more), gave up my friends and working with Marie Morton Canada's legendary talent  agent and a lovely friend and moved with him to Toronto as he was begging me to go with him. I even married him and we had a lovely daughter, Giselle Rakobowchuk.

Part - II - Everything around was just perfectly beautiful, the gorgeous city of Vancouver surrounded by the towering mountains, the ocean, the people ...


... and yet ...

Soon after Peter Ray aka Peter Rakobowchuk arrived in Vancouver as the news director of CKO News Radio  met Agota Szabo ( Agatha ) director of modeling at Jerry Lodge Talent Agency. They became friends and started travelling together around the city, its surroundings and the mountains.

A long, lovely, busy year was nearing to it's end with traveling a lot and working hard. Peter Ray with the news in BC and Agatha looking after the assignments for the models.

When magazines, advertisers needed a young teen boy Agatha usually sent Michael J.Fox for a job in shootings for clothing or for advertisements (not a star yet. His serious acting career started that time with Marie's great help). He was still very young yet he was a true professional already. Never missed an assignment, was always on time for a job. In a word he could always be relied upon.


Marie Morton legendary talent agent, owner of the Vancouver Jerry Lodge Talent. She managed the acting department, over a thousand actors and actresses were registered, amongst them Michael J. Fox, John Ireland, Ian Tracy, Kim Catrall etc. Often organized casting calls for American casting agents as well.

Her job was to find the right models and send them for fashion shows photoshootings or showroom works.

Agatha was sending on modeling assignments yet another famous future star, Kim Cattrall, who was not famous yet.

The curious incidence of Peter Rakobowchuk alias Peter Ray my ex-husband The Canadian Press journalist




A curious incidence during visiting my parents in Hungary. On a walk around town I got startled by Peter's saying "This place is like a fortress. It's like a veritable prison" "no way in or out... I sure wouldn't want to live in a place like that"




Seeing my shocked expression hurriedly explained how our city looked unfriendly, creepy  with those closed iron gates set in bricks or stones, linking the houses, forbidding free entrance, or a glance into the backyards, gardens.

At night, the closed shutters trap the lights and sounds inside the houses, not allowing any of it outside into the dark silence...





Peter Rakobowchuk aka Peter Ray then my husband with Giselle (Gigi) our daughter on his arms and me  




Peter s remarks shocked me.

The home of childhood is a special place in everyone heart. What made him blurt out those words? Was an idea put into his head in Canada? 

Was it Patricia / Pat Enborg to come up with a way to get the legal wife and daughter out of the way of her career plans?

Patricia Enborg worked on Parliament Hill in the early eighties with my husband Peter Rakobowchuk as she herself wrote in her own post on Gordon Grant blogspot




Back in Canada, soon after the incidence Peter came home one day with the „wonderful newsthat he could take French courses in Paris, but only if I and our daughter Giselle would stay for that time at my parents home in Hungary. He was to send me the money for Giselle’s and my cost of living in Hungary, and for me also an art course in Italy.


The money never arrived.


Giselle and I were left in Hungary. Stranded.

Wanting to defame us, Patricia Enborg without realising it admits to having illegal possession of my personal belongings I had worked hard for 15 years in Canada before even meeting Peter.





Patricia Enborg bullying Giselle 
 putting up a mocking post right after Giselle tried to contact her father on Tweeter.



They moved everything from our Ottawa home to Quebec. Nobody knew anything of Peter Rakobowchuk aka Peter Ray nor of his first, legal, Canadian family he had abandoned. Peter Rakobowchuk and Patricia / Pat Enborg had no children then. She too was a journalist in mainstream media, yet there wasn't a single penny for Peter's firstborn, biological and legal child for nearly ten years, when finally the court ordered him to pay child support. I got less than ten percent of his salary.

TWENTY YEARS LATER

 

2008, Kirkland, Quebec

Peter Rakobowchuk lied in his political campaign on the LBPSB page that he had two children. This lie threw out his first legal Canadian family, wife and child as if they were nonexistent, for political and financial gains.

Peter Rakobowchuk is hiding the truth of being the one and the same reporter Peter Ray , who had been FIRED as news director for a very ugly racist comment he made after the eulogy of a member of an East-Indian BC community, who had just died on vacation in the States. The comment was on the air at the VANCOUVER CKO NEWS RADIO

The LBPSB page with Peter Rakobowchuk 's LIE defaming his firstborn, legal daughter Giselle Rakobowchuk and his first wife Agota Szabo only taken off in 2014, so  for SIX YEARS they were defaming us to discredit us all that time

Link: http://www2.lbpsb.qc.ca/eng/elections/index.asp (CLICK on Candidates below School Board Elections)




Patricia (Pat) Enborg Peter's wife a communication expert must have written and posted the smear campaign against us on the LBPSB website. 

For six years it was accessible and readable for the people they lied to in Hungary and Canada, like journalists and politicians.

Their worst lie, still lingering that Giselle was a Ukranian or Russian refugee has ruined our reputation in my hometown in Hungary for good. I was told by a friend that there was someone in town who spread those lies about us.

A reporter using two different names at the same company The Canadian Press at the same time even simultaneously in the same article. It is unheard of.

This PUBLIC LIE of Peter Rakobowchuk was used to defame me and Giselle to discredit us and by using The Canadian Press e-mail (IP) address of Peter Rakobowchuk or Peter Ray they easily got credit for their lies.

Peter Rakobowchuk aka Peter Ray "The Canadian Press" reporter is being continually published in mainstream media, so he seems credible but the real truth about those two are looked upon with doubt.

Patricia / Pat Enborg as a former journalist.must be calling upon old contacts of her "close group" to help her.

 



Peter Rakobowchuk not only didn't want to pay child support for his own child, but left Giselle in an East European country without ever looking back.

And to top of it all he became a parent's representative for several schools and became known as the best father and most loving family man.

 


      Patricia Enborg / Pat Enborg hiding Peter Rakobowchuk aka Peter Ray The Canadian Press journalist. We were still together then. No wonder he is hiding.

Memories with Peter Rakobowchuk a.k.a. Peter Ray and our Daughter, Giselle at a


                 Winterlude Festival in "Forward to the Past"

 

    Agota Szabo: "The Canadian Parliament" egg tempera on board (Ottawa, 1991)



An offer of choices of Christmas cards, including the one printed of my painting of the Canadian Parliament, was sent to the members of parliament to choose those they wanted send to relatives and or constituents, in Ottawa in 1991.

 

 






A new Winterlude festival.is just around the corner so I put back my post from last year with some photos, as the way forward to a long past Winterlude is getting longer...

Had those, till now unknown facts in my past personal life not surfaced through the internet I would probably be living my life in ignorance and wouldn't be wandering around the past for explanations to many unanswered questions,

Peter Rakobowchuk alias Peter Ray my then-husband reporter at The Canadian Press got transferred and we moved to the home of this famous Canadian winter festival...I really loved to live there. Then our home wrecker arrived to work on Parliament Hill where my husband worked...

After those excursions back to work in beautiful British Columbia.. both Peter Rakobowchuk aka Peter Ray at CKO radio and me at Jerry Lodge Talent had real hectic time and energy-demanding jobs so those trips around Vancouver Island and Fraser Valley did help a lot to unwind, relax and get ready for our next round of whirlwind activities.
