Mathematician visits
Henry Hagedoorn, mathematics
professor at the Central Florida
University, and his wife Kathleen
visited Marion and Peter
Hagedoorn. Henry and Kathleen
had been in Cranbrook the last time
in 1993 and wanted to see all the
improvements.
Peter and Marion drove many
times past the silos and the auger
pipes in the area. Henry took
pictures of these pipes to show his
students how elegantly mathe
matical these pipes were strength
ened by "fingers" and small cables.
He even gave us the formula!
So now Cranbrook auger pipes
are held up to American students as.
examples of excellence in
construction.
Cranbrook neighbours who knew
Howard Mitchell were saddened to
hear of his passing early last week.
Howard had many stories to tell
about Cranbrook and Atwood in
the horse and buggy age.
"Drunk driving was easy as the
horse knew its way home."
As one drove Howard here and
there he always had stories like
that. He was 92 years old.

the May 5 issue, the Da Lee Dust

air conditioning.
With regards to Doug Trollope
recovering materials from the Mor
ris Twp. landfill, he donates the
