The inscription reads: "To George Eccleston, whose qualities as a host and pro • - moter made our visit to Grand Bend one of the most pleasant experiences of our trip. Musically, Rudy Val- lee, 1930". The poster was unveiled as.part of the photo archives book launching Thursday night. From left 10 right are Col. Tom.Lawson, a major contributor to the project, Mary Fraser, the leading fund-raiser, and Paul Miller, co-author and volunteer co-ordinator of the book. Launching a success despite missing book' GRAND BEND - Patrons wcrc out in force, the food was great, the memorabilia displays nicely arranged, everything at the Lambton Heritage Museum was set for the official "book launch- ing" of Grand Bend: Images of Yesteryear, a local collec- tion of historical photographs. There was just one problem: the book didn't make it. While museum curator Bob Trcmain recognized all the peo- ple who made the book possible, the subject of all the revelry sat in the cargo hold of an airplane in Toronto. Printcd in British Columbia, the book was being flown to Toronto when engine trouble forced the jet clown in Winnipeg. By the time it arrived in Toronto, the book launching was ready to begin. The cargo arrived late Thursday night, after the, guests had left. It was distributed to those who contrihuted money or material on the weekend. Trcmain praised those who wcrc involved in the production ' of the photo collection, giving credit to full-time volunteer co- ordinator Paul Miller and thank- ing all those who donated photo- graphs for use in the book and in a permanent photo archives at the museum. "It just seemed to us that all we had to do was ask," Tremain said of the response. He noted that most of the donations were priceless family heirlooms. Tremain and Miller co- authored the history book, which will be available to the public shortly. Of the project itself, Tremain said, "It was an effort to sec what was out there in thc com- munity_When we got it all in, it was too good not to share." Deputy Reeve Dennis Snider, representing both Grand Bend Council and a museum commit- tee made up of himself, Jim Kar- ry and Brian Hall, took thc podi- um and turned the spotlight back on Tremain. "We're very pleased to have Bob as the curator of thc mu- seum because he docs come up with ideas like this," Snider said. The visual history collection is a result of two years work by those involved. Many photos in the collection wcrc taken by Jo- seph Senior, an Exeter photogra- pher. Funds raised through the sale of the book will go toward other museum projects. Trcmain used the occasion to unveil an autographed poster of Rudy Vallee, who appeared t the Lakeview Casino in Grand Bend in 1930. Donated by Ella Keating, the poster bears a mes- sage to her father, George Eccle- stone, owner of the Casino at the time of Vallee's visit. The poster will be used as the centre -piece in a poster display at the museum. To cap thc evening, Grand Bend Winter Carnival committee treasurer Irene Hall presented Trcmain with a cheque to kick off a new project. The museum will be collecting equipment and artifacts from Goodison manu- facturing, a Lambton based com- pany which employed 400-5(X) people in its heyday. To give those in attendance a taste of the book's contents, Tre- main read several quotes which he felt captured the essence of the arca. One of those selections was a note written on the back of a Grand Bend postcard. Post- marked August. 1$, 1917, it reads: "This is the best place you could imagine for the kind of holiday 1 need and I'm making the most of it. The days seem long enough yet lime is going altogether too quickly, There are lovely walks in every direction, and if one does not want to walk. it is fine just to be'quiet."
