Herb in Holland

Herb Peppard published an article in yesterday's Truro Daily News (April 10). It involves a trip to Holland in 2000 to commemorate the Liberation of Holland during WWII. During the parade, a young dutch girl raced from the sidewalk to give Herb a present. Herb asked me to do an illustration, and I decided to post it. They used a black and white version.

Tree Sculptures

One of Truro's attractions is its carved trees. When Dutch elm disease took its toll, many of the stumps were converted into historic carvings. One can get a map and follow these statues, learn something of the town's history and some of its memorable citizens, and also admire the power-saw artistry of those who carved the statues. These three seem to have been brought together for this postcard. There are over 20 of these tree sculptures throughout the town.

TC Hockey

While at the Little White Schoolhouse Museum this morning, Bill Canning showed me a picture of a 1967-68 NSTC Hockey team. Decided to scan it in for my blog. I remember a number of them, and I know that most of them would bne retired now or onto a second career. 1967-68 - that was my fifth year at TC.
