The Calgary Sun — June 4, 2004.  
An apparent goof-up at McMaster University has led to a prestigious honorary doctorate being given to the wrong Hugh Fraser at this week’s convocation ceremonies, says the man who claims to be the intended honouree. Hugh Fraser, the former Hamilton Spectator music critic and Hamilton Gallery of Distinction inductee, says he was supposed to get the doctorate of letters.

But somehow it ended up being given to a trombone player named Hugh Fraser from Victoria.
