Those present enjoyed the presentation by John Summers. As we enter a new year, we would like to say a special word of thanks to those members who regularly send us items of marine news. Without the help of such stalwart correspondents, we could not make "Scanner" the kind of publication that we all can enjoy. We want you to know how much your efforts are appreciated, and we look forward to your continued sup port in 1997. In the New Member D e p a r t m e n t , a hearty welcome goes out to Scott Vance and to Jim Cross, both of Thunder Bay; to Rejean Brunet, of Montreal; to Sam Joyce, of Mississauga; to Paul Phelan, of Toronto, and to Eldon E mer son, of St. Catharines. We are pleased to have you all with us as members of the Toronto Marine Historical Society. * * * * * * * AFFILIATED WITH THE M ARINE M U S EU M OF UPPER C A N A D A ISSN 0318-014X
