		Thomson, who kept a relatively low profile compared with many newspaper barons, took over the family holdings in 1976 on the death of his father, Roy Thomson.
		Thomson Corp. hung on to the The Globe and Mail, which Ken Thomson had referred to as "the jewel in the crown" of the company.

		Local historians relate that the Thomsons of Eskdale, with whom we are concerned (not to be confused with any Thompsons with a “p,” who are not Scottish at all, but English and contemptible) were a small fifteenth-century clan, obeying the call of the larger clan Beattison, mostly for raids across the border.
		Presumably such hangings had their deterrent effect, because the Thomson family soon vanished from the records of those days and were not heard of again until 1679, when the Buccleuch rent books reveal their presence as tenants of the smallest farms in the district.
		All of which is perhaps the reason why Andrew Thomson, in the first third of the eighteenth century, chose to be a stone mason and not a farmer; and why Archibald, the second of his seven children, father of a large family and master carpenter, decided to emigrate with his family to Canada in 1773.

		Charles Cutts, Roy Thomson Hall's president, told Canada's National Post in 2000 that wood was chosen "because of the warming and enhancing impact it has on the audience." And, one might add, on critics too.
		It should be remembered that one of the main criticisms directed at the original Roy Thomson Hall was that its cubic volume was simply too vast to allow an orchestra to throw much of a sonic punch.
		For a hall as unforgiving as Thomson Hall — and it continues to be a mercilessly "clear" hall — this is a major accomplishment.

		Kenneth Roy Thomson, the second Lord Thomson of Fleet and always known as Ken, even to people only on the periphery of his circle, spent most of his life like it was a burden.
		From this point, Thomson's focus was on north America, and over the next two decades most of the UK assets — the oil, travel, local directories, Thomson Regional Newspapers, trade and consumer magazines — were all profitably sold off and the proceeds invested in north American electronic publishing ventures.
		The Thomson businesses have always been "clean" – the family's biscuit-dry politics and economics were never imposed on the papers, the business was driven hard but with understanding of the human dimension.
