Vivian Stanley served as President of the Barry Morse International Fan Club and editor of the club's newsletter, entitled Morse Code for over 30 years.
The monthly (and later periodic) newsletter covered all aspects of Morse's career including television, film, stage, and radio productions. It carried information about his work, personal appearances, and often included news clippings from newspapers and magazines.
Barry Morse himself authorized and endorsed the club and would periodically write letters or send audio tapes detailing his current and future projects which were reproduced in the publication. Both fan club and newsletter were in existence from 1977 to 2008.
Stanley's initial public letter concerning the formation of the club appeared in ComLoC 4, October 1977, page 8:
"I've noticed in reading ComLoC that a lot of people loved Victor. Well, I'm a great fan of Barry Morse too and would like to hear from other fans. Also, anyone interested in helping with or joining a Barry Morse/Victor Bergman fan club?"
Stanley was based in various locales Calgary, Jasper, and other locales in Alberta, Canada during her tenure with the club.
