Our December Meeting featured slides by Carl Ehrke including views taken on the last transatlantic trip of LEONARDO DA VINCI and one of the final voyages of S. A. VAAL. Our thanks to Carl for his efforts in presenting a most interesting program.

We hope that all or members and their families have enjoyed a happy and safe Holiday Season. Now that the festivities are over and we all have a bit more time on our hands, we would ask that those members living near lake ports take a run down to the harbour and note which ships are wintering there. We would appreciate receiving your listings of winter lay-ups as soon as possible so that we may include them in our February and March issues. We would normally run such lists in the January issue as well but that is nearly impossible due to late-season navigation.

In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Steven Radovan of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, to David Brain of Mississauga, to Robert Cramer of Ingleside, Ontario, and to Frank Kovach of Thunder Bay. We are always pleased to welcome new members to the fold, so if you should know of anyone who might be interested in joining T.M.H.S., please show them "Scanner" and suggest that they contact us.
