T O R O N T O M A R I N E H I S T O R I C A L S O C I E T Y VOL. XXXIV - NO. 7 APRIL 2002 MEETINGS Saturday, May 11th - The Annual Dinner Meeting. Please see details below. * * * * * * * THE EDITOR'S LOGBOOK Despite some concerns in the days before the meeting, Capt. Alain Gindroz was able to present his programme illustrating the ships in which has ser­ ved in his 25 years on the lakes, and all present enjoyed the presentation. We thank Alain for his work in putting the show together for us. Ron Beau­ pre's next instalment of the Jim Kidd slides will be seen next season. The Annual Dinner Meeting will be held Saturday, May 11th, in the Captain's Quarters aboard JADRAN, which is moored on the east side of Toronto's Yonge Street slip. Parking is available in two lots just east of the ship, and there is easy access via the T. T. C. (Bay bus or Harbourfront - Spadina streetcar south from Union Station to Queen's Quay). The cash bar will open at 6: 00 p. m., and the four-course dinner will be served at 7: 00. Speaker for the evening will be Scott Misener, whose presentation will be "Reflecting on My Past Sixty Years on the Great Lakes and Seaway". He will recount his experiences as a "guest" aboard various vessels, including the famous Misener yacht VENETIA, as well as his three summers of decking on the canaller J. S. WALTON. This should be a very special programme. The ticket price will be $30. 00 (Canadian dollars! - and two less of them than last year! ) per person and, as usual, guests will be most welcome. Please send your early remittance to our Chief Purser and, when paying, kindly specify whether you would prefer an ocean perch or chicken dinner. Cheques should be payable to Toronto Marine Historical Society, and sent to William R. Wilson, 173 Glenrose Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4T 1K7. Tickets Editor Jay N.
