The viewing hours will be from 2 p.m to 5:30 p.m. There will be a preview on Saturday, October 15 from 3 to 5 p.m. Of particular interest to local historians will be the unveiling of an illustration titled, "Market Day at the Huron County Cour- thouse Square, circa 1885". A limited edition of the print has been prepared. "It (the exhibition) is a short story about a man who never really slowed down - whose whole life was about art, horses and music;" commented Mr. Kettlewell's widow, Elizabeth Willmot Kettlewell. She said her husband viewed Huron Coun- ty as "very, very special" and even after retiring to Clinton four and one half years ago to pursue a "quieter way of life", he kept busy exploring back roads, farmland and rivers and streams and acquainting himself with area horse breeders. "He found a tremendous variety of things to paint. He was never bored driving around this county," she said, adding even after retirement Mr. Kettlewell continued his work in sculptures, and completed many historical illustrations, architectural il- lustrations and landscapes of Huron County in water colors. He was also writing and il- lustrating a book about the days of stage coaches in Ontario. During his brief time in Clinton, Mr. Ket- tlewell became involved in the restoration of the well-known "School on Wheels" in Sloman Memorial Park. He also served as a consultant during the restoration of the Clin- ton Town Hall. He helped greatly with the restoration of the elegant fixtures and the fountain. Mr. Kettlewell was also an active member of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Clinton, and served as Rector's Warden for two years, and a tireless worker in the church's restoration board. His drawings of St. Paul's and St. Thomas' Anglican Church are seen on the weekly church bulletin. During his few years at St. Paul's Mr. Ket- tlewell created and planted the large flower garden on the Rattenbury lawns, which is now a Memorial Garen in his memory.
