She helped us through the preparation of the dreaded lay-up lists before the time came to say our goodbyes. She will be remembered for a long time. Our thanks to all who came and enjoyed our presentation of Dyke Cobb photos at the Febru­ ary meeting. Special thanks to Dorothy Cobb for her assistance with the project. Details of the Silent Auction will be mailed with the April issue. We are still seeking items for the auction and if anyone wishes to contribute, please contact our Auctionmaster Gordon Turner as soon as possible at (416) 762-3130 or gordontumer@sympatico. ca We DO need your assistance with this project so essential to the financial survival of T.
