Greetings from Arizona -
(God's Country) - I have had a
busy winter with lots of Canadian
guests including my Seaforth
relatives Jim and Dorothy Scott.
I have been re reading my
Expositors for the reunion and
enjoying them.
My great grandfather
Carmichael was mentioned - also
my father John W. Livingston of
the "Hurons" -
I really enjoyed Ethel Beatty's
remembrance as well as Walter
Murray - I remember " Azzie
Ault" - among others -
I have some photographs that I
will send some time - possibly for
the museum -
There are two things that I
remember well - one is the great
plays that were "put on" by the
townspeople - Like the Victory
Concert by Mrs. Mullin and one
based on Alice in wonderland -
with Dorothy O'Connell as Alice -
I have pictures of "The Old Maids
Convention" - 1903 with many
familiar faces to me in it - one was
a very young Beth Willis Bechley -
a couple of Laidlaws and
S.I.McLean and possibly a Young
- and of course my mother - MrS.
Murless Jones present ed. many
plays - and• Annie Govenlock's
sight singing' class - did one a
year - This was a part of Seaforth
that made happy memories for me ri.
The other "thing" is - that I
think Hannah Isobel Graham
should be especially honoured - I
thought that she was considered
one of the outst anding poetesses
of her time. -
There were several artists ••;
Susie Govenlock - Ethel McLean -
Alva Graves - Muriel Willis who
added some beauty to our wills -
(Mine even in Arizona have
some.)
It would be impossible to do
justice to all the "beautiful
people" who contributed to the
culture of Seaforth including Sara
Isobel /McLean, who had a
profound effect upon thelives of
so many.
I was wondering why you
couldn't have a yearly memorial
paper possibly in July. 'I no longer
subscribe to , the Expositor
because its only the "old and
esteemed" residents who died
that I know - except for the 50
veal' aeo column - .
I will not be at the Old Boys this
Happy Birthday- Seaforth!
- We 3 re proud to have been part of Seaforth's growth over
the past 20 ye 3 re) and look forward to gr tiling with the town
in the future.
Congratulations Seaforth
from the people at
