Our November meeting was a very successful affair and we were pleased to see such a large group of the faithful in attendance. Lorne Joyce was our speaker and he gave a most interesting illustrated talk on life on Lake Ontario's Main Duck Island around the turn of the century, including the vessels that operated in the vicinity and those that were wrecked there. Much of the material used by Lorne in his presentation and many of the historical relics he brought with him for us to view came from the collection of fellow-member Willis Metcalfe of Milford, Ontario. All present enjoyed the evening immensely and our thanks go to Lorne and to Willis for their work in putting the show together.
