I first met Dr. MacCallum in October 1912 when he visited Jim MacDonald's studio

I had a love of music, especially the Mendelssohn Choir in Toronto

Reading the Grand Trunk Railway brochures on Algonquin Park: 'No guns, cameras welcome. Shoot the wildlife and take home the picture'

Great War Update, Mar 21, 1917: U.S. ship Healdton bound from Philadelphia to Rotterdam is sunk without warning: 21 lost.

Arthur Lismer said he never saw a porcupine, so I introduced him to a family of porcupines.

Lismer said I was a wonder with canoe, axe and fishing line.

Louise Julyan and her friend comes by to visit. They went to the @OSAartists Exhibition

In a pinch, one part bacon grease and ten parts spruce gum can be used to repair a canoe

The land that raises you will always be a part of you.

U.S. Steamship Healdton, tanker, gross 4,489 tons; torpedoed and sunk by German sub 25 miles north of Terschelling, Holland, 20 killed.

I am quite pleased with this one. I should have put this in the OSA Exhibition asking $500
