The February meeting featured the continuation of the reminiscences of Capt. John Leonard. A fascinating event, one that saw the entire multitude present held spellbound throughout the evening.

THE ANNUAL DINNER MEETING will be held at the Ship Inn, in the cellar of the Museum, on Saturday, May 2nd. Our thanks to the Toronto Blue Jays for not having a home game that evening! Dinner will be served at 7:00 and the bar will be open from 6:00 for those who might enjoy a pre-dinner restorative. Our speaker, Lorne Joyce, will present some of the historic Bay of Quinte material from the collection of our late member Willis Metcalfe, courtesy of Mrs. Metcalfe. The cost will be $12.75 per person and guests will be welcome. Space is limited, so please reserve as soon as possible. As our Chief Purser will be on vacation during March, reservations (with remittance, please) should be sent to the Secretary, J. H. Bascom, 100 Whitehall Road, Toronto, Ontario M4W 2C7. Reservations must be received PRIOR TO APRIL 3 so that we may make our commitment to the restaurant, so we look forward to hearing from you by return mail.

In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to David Willett of Essexville, Michigan, to Fred Walker and Melvin G. Painter of St. Catharines, and to William F. Rapprich of Rocky River, Ohio.
