no
Unknown Speaker 0:00
For the club
Unknown Speaker 0:08
will come and have a look at those
Unknown Speaker 0:18
spots that I haven't looked at in 20 years
Unknown Speaker 0:21
at many Institute at least 20 years
Unknown Speaker 0:26
or everything no no
Unknown Speaker 0:44
find the day when he talks and
Unknown Speaker 0:48
probably even many times this weekend
Unknown Speaker 1:00
set up at the whole year
Unknown Speaker 1:06
in minutes dealing with museums or whatever
Unknown Speaker 1:12
and this is one of the letters for the debentures we'd like to
Unknown Speaker 1:19
talk about today and this is the offer to purchase the benches
Unknown Speaker 1:24
for document
Unknown Speaker 1:29
keywords
Unknown Speaker 1:34
that's one of the main things I want to talk about today
Unknown Speaker 1:37
so other
Unknown Speaker 1:43
applications I think I wanted out of getting the
Unknown Speaker 1:49
job John some of my
Unknown Speaker 1:52
books
Unknown Speaker 1:58
we have a complete set of
Unknown Speaker 2:00
things this is
Unknown Speaker 2:05
the first 79 add 1234678
Unknown Speaker 2:38
So we're missing too much I will have to look at University Institute is their mind and
Unknown Speaker 2:45
the ones I gave John were from back in 57 or something
Unknown Speaker 2:58
so we'll see Mike about the first call center and somebody interesting people get the impression about
Unknown Speaker 3:05
the importance of the resurrection of
Unknown Speaker 3:14
32 pages with proverbs leaving
Unknown Speaker 3:19
there are three items that are kind of of interest one is
Unknown Speaker 3:24
resurrection I mean there's a section I'm working on at the moment is the resurrection
Unknown Speaker 3:31
and if we had
Unknown Speaker 3:35
one of the little
Unknown Speaker 3:39
he wants a metal
Unknown Speaker 3:43
printed the word walnuts
Unknown Speaker 3:48
was
Unknown Speaker 3:49
printed
Unknown Speaker 4:02
one of those things you're talking about
Unknown Speaker 4:07
a small molecule
Unknown Speaker 4:22
epic
Unknown Speaker 4:23
like ASCAP, you're gonna need to do
Unknown Speaker 4:31
both then I think we should have a copy of that cover.
Unknown Speaker 4:37
Cover was done by
Unknown Speaker 5:05
Going back to
Unknown Speaker 5:07
the ones we knew when we were growing up didn't
Unknown Speaker 5:14
and how many years that have not been going. So that's what we're trying to find out if I can get those funds back from,
Unknown Speaker 5:21
from John, they have a colorful one is called 76.
Unknown Speaker 5:28
Now there was a time during the war, First World War when they were stopped as well. And Conrad and I traced it down at the archives, there was a five year delay. So there was five years taken out for the war at one point, we don't know if there's more know
Unknown Speaker 5:43
what you see, we are hoping
Unknown Speaker 5:46
to do a project
Unknown Speaker 5:50
to get a grant to
Unknown Speaker 5:53
scan the whole
Unknown Speaker 5:55
town
Unknown Speaker 5:56
on because that's our history
Unknown Speaker 6:08
that's the sort of thing they always
Unknown Speaker 6:15
tell us a bit about getting the land. So my understanding is
Unknown Speaker 6:20
that the farmers have had Gustus for some period of time following the introduction of the
Unknown Speaker 6:32
the fall fair was held at
Unknown Speaker 6:35
school which
Unknown Speaker 6:37
killed elementary school
Unknown Speaker 6:41
when
Unknown Speaker 6:43
the first year and 76.
Unknown Speaker 6:47
Costumes retained out
Unknown Speaker 6:50
after three o'clock on Friday,
Unknown Speaker 6:53
the indoors into different classes
Unknown Speaker 6:57
or whatever. Horticulture within the activity center
Unknown Speaker 7:03
and the
Unknown Speaker 7:06
industrialists class
Unknown Speaker 7:08
with some of them are still in evidence.
Unknown Speaker 7:11
institutes.
Unknown Speaker 7:19
Know Before Laurie I think,
Unknown Speaker 7:22
well, it might be they might have been there.
Unknown Speaker 7:26
And livestock
Unknown Speaker 7:29
fields
Unknown Speaker 7:31
connect a road field
Unknown Speaker 7:33
to a man halls.
Unknown Speaker 7:36
Some reason for that
Unknown Speaker 7:41
craft
Unknown Speaker 7:43
Kendrick has because they only ran Oh.
Unknown Speaker 7:46
No, I don't. Oh, it was it was a classroom.
Unknown Speaker 7:53
No, because that guy touching in.
Unknown Speaker 7:57
But at that point, they have a new activity center. So they didn't need it. I don't know why. But the cattle in that were connected.
Unknown Speaker 8:16
Because that was divine.
Unknown Speaker 8:19
Across the road, we have the lower field by the hydro building that deals with the livestock fields.
Unknown Speaker 8:26
People have noticed that like it's two fields that the
Unknown Speaker 8:32
big one in some of the old elementary school.
Unknown Speaker 8:35
The other one is
Unknown Speaker 8:38
the hydro building. And it's quite a big one.
Unknown Speaker 8:43
And
Unknown Speaker 8:46
after that, the fair on Saturday, we held a dance
Unknown Speaker 8:59
in the activity,
Unknown Speaker 9:01
and then Sunday, we've seen the whole thing back up and put it back to school. On Monday morning.
Unknown Speaker 9:08
After the fair, Mike
Unknown Speaker 9:12
came to Patrick and I said will you organize it next year?
Unknown Speaker 9:18
And we said yes. So we did it at the school under the same circumstances the following year.
Unknown Speaker 9:28
And what I have to do is I have to look up whether it was that year or the following year.
Unknown Speaker 9:35
I decided we should have a museum of archives
Unknown Speaker 9:40
at the fair
Unknown Speaker 9:42
you organize it the second year. Yes. We organized it in 77
Unknown Speaker 9:51
Remember, this is all gonna be scanned down we're gonna have
Unknown Speaker 9:55
like one page
Unknown Speaker 9:59
Okay, so now
Unknown Speaker 10:00
that at that point, you're looking for museums.
Unknown Speaker 10:04
Well, I thought it would be of interest there was so much agricultural history on the island. So in the field by Nan hall
Unknown Speaker 10:13
where those pine trees are right now
Unknown Speaker 10:17
there was a portable classrooms around grade
Unknown Speaker 10:23
portable
Unknown Speaker 10:25
and so we cleaned that out
Unknown Speaker 10:30
had a committee that went and collected items from everybody in Sunday we tagged them all with a number and then even recorded them and we did a heritage museum display in the classroom for the Fall fair
Unknown Speaker 10:48
the second one I'll think of a second.
Unknown Speaker 11:23
The following year we expanded the committee
Unknown Speaker 11:35
been around a while
Unknown Speaker 11:39
and myself
Unknown Speaker 11:44
and we were the fair committee and we
Unknown Speaker 11:58
and we
Unknown Speaker 12:00
again get the fair there but it was it was becoming such a huge hassle because it was
Unknown Speaker 12:09
put up and take down in 48 hours was unbelievable. There was one day
Unknown Speaker 12:16
and
Unknown Speaker 12:18
Patrick said we need property we need an actual fairgrounds and at that point the Rogers property
Unknown Speaker 12:39
777 Stan said he would sell the Old Vic was a fun
Unknown Speaker 12:45
topic and I discussed it and there was no way is it the
Unknown Speaker 12:52
Institute had any money could buy it or anything else I mean they were just a group that met once a month
Unknown Speaker 13:01
then the work is they do
Unknown Speaker 13:05
at that point
Unknown Speaker 13:07
but it's
Unknown Speaker 13:13
almost
Unknown Speaker 13:16
becoming a wallpaper
Unknown Speaker 13:21
was kicked out and there was calm binding and all that sort of stuff where community thrashing
Unknown Speaker 13:29
service all went on down the valley.
Unknown Speaker 13:33
So we agreed that we would buy it
Unknown Speaker 13:36
and hold it for a year
Unknown Speaker 13:39
and give us the opportunity to raise the funds to buy to purchase it
Unknown Speaker 13:47
at that point, when you say the drink water farm
Unknown Speaker 13:54
is saved
Unknown Speaker 13:59
SR was a drink water
Unknown Speaker 14:04
drink water
Unknown Speaker 14:07
and
Unknown Speaker 14:08
drink water one to one counseling
Unknown Speaker 14:14
and I was very focused at that point with my committee on the museum aspect
Unknown Speaker 14:24
of what
Unknown Speaker 14:26
we felt we could do was
Unknown Speaker 14:37
my wife everything
Unknown Speaker 14:47
else became available at
Unknown Speaker 14:52
the service because basically wanted to put in the parking lot
Unknown Speaker 15:04
So I started approaching government agencies for grants for funding.
Unknown Speaker 15:11
I can't remember what department Hugh Curtis was in he was our local
Unknown Speaker 15:16
I can't remember
Unknown Speaker 15:19
a portfolio again, samples
Unknown Speaker 15:23
had a portfolio
Unknown Speaker 15:27
I'm not so sure one of them was Heritage Museum kinds of things. One of them was agriculture and one of them was
Unknown Speaker 15:45
with a
Unknown Speaker 15:47
real connection it was very okay. But I can't remember when he was the original stream but what I did was I met with each of the three and I kept telling them the need for this the interest board and
Unknown Speaker 16:04
I don't know how you graciously do this. But I told Mel that Sam was really behind the project and it was Sam Mel was
Unknown Speaker 16:20
symbol
Unknown Speaker 16:21
W L FF da w
Unknown Speaker 16:27
w
Unknown Speaker 16:33
he wants to remember what he did. But he's around here now. He's the one that's behind those bills timeshares.
Unknown Speaker 16:53
All this stuff
Unknown Speaker 16:55
is obviously a lot
Unknown Speaker 17:03
so what happened was,
Unknown Speaker 17:06
you see all this the same time unless I get a timeline that I can't put in the right place out I can sort of give you the details.
Unknown Speaker 17:18
They agreed to
Unknown Speaker 17:23
funds for the property purchase on the condition
Unknown Speaker 17:27
that the museum was established as well. It had to have heritage archival
Unknown Speaker 17:35
systems the Rogers land
Unknown Speaker 17:38
does not get approval unless it did. So the Bitton courthouse became an integral part of receiving that grant.
Unknown Speaker 17:50
separately
Unknown Speaker 17:52
we got a grant
Unknown Speaker 17:57
to move from courthouse.
Unknown Speaker 18:10
The committee
Unknown Speaker 18:14
museum committee we also raise money for that
Unknown Speaker 18:21
sitting courthouse by publishing these Cookbook
Unknown Speaker 18:26
Recipes of the Fair
Unknown Speaker 18:28
which is sold incidentally for 350.
Unknown Speaker 18:37
So there's the eight that were on the committee
Unknown Speaker 18:47
the seven on the committee the following and we did two years ago
Unknown Speaker 18:56
now because Doug Henderson and Roy are on this one I had that which is 79 and 80. It makes me think that we move the courthouse at that point because we have some men helping the women actually took down the brick chimneys boarded up all the windows get all the prep work those minutes before Nico brothers came in move that museum
Unknown Speaker 19:23
there's articles in the driftwood
Unknown Speaker 19:30
there is a plaque in the museum where
Unknown Speaker 19:41
the farmers is in order to raise funds to deal with the balance of the purchase of the property.
Unknown Speaker 19:50
Patrick and I had purchased it. I worked night and day to renovate the little cottage the caretakers cottage. It was
Unknown Speaker 20:00
on the condition that we would get the revenue from the rental of that a young family went in
Unknown Speaker 20:06
a single moment to children and rented it over the air barriers. Yes. And
Unknown Speaker 20:15
I think that's one point.
Unknown Speaker 20:19
But that sort of revenue came to us to offset. So we sold it to them at our cost with no profit. And the grant balance that was needed for the purchase of property was done through debentures. And it was offered to the differential Institute members and the community at large.
Unknown Speaker 20:49
And that whole thing came to approximately
Unknown Speaker 20:53
$33,000.
Unknown Speaker 20:59
In
Unknown Speaker 21:01
the price, Patrick's gonna run me off some of those sheets.
Unknown Speaker 21:07
I think he sold it back to the institute
Unknown Speaker 21:10
$60,000
Unknown Speaker 21:14
This lesson not to exceed $55,000, subtracted from cost and about the other $30,000
Unknown Speaker 21:23
sold, the other 33,000 was raised by these debentures
Unknown Speaker 21:28
and we got 20,000 on top of the 30 for the museum.
Unknown Speaker 21:52
And the dimensions were in 100 500 1005.
Unknown Speaker 22:01
And then according to the profitability of the fair each year,
Unknown Speaker 22:07
whatever
Unknown Speaker 22:09
there were
Unknown Speaker 22:12
the means to dine out when when wasn't with us?
Unknown Speaker 22:19
Or very close to
Unknown Speaker 22:22
but there has to be some time.
Unknown Speaker 22:26
And other situations.
Unknown Speaker 22:29
If you had $10,000 You know you weren't going to draw a $5,000 and then
Unknown Speaker 22:36
you get to the end you got $500 Less you draw us out when you do
Unknown Speaker 22:42
beforehand. No movie didn't take what they did was that you had the hundreds of 505,000 and if you had x number of
Unknown Speaker 22:56
if we had $1,000 we pulled the five
Unknown Speaker 23:04
so it was
Unknown Speaker 23:08
working wonderful.
Unknown Speaker 23:10
And it anybody forgiven the Dementors and say we don't want to
Unknown Speaker 23:16
I mean
Unknown Speaker 23:18
not that I'm aware
Unknown Speaker 23:20
that that was paid off and something like I think the picture there is 78
Unknown Speaker 23:26
with
Unknown Speaker 23:28
the last adventure we had a picnic in the in the orchard.
Unknown Speaker 23:34
And my debenture was a 5000 debenture
Unknown Speaker 23:39
that was just adult picnic in New York.
Unknown Speaker 23:43
So your personal one was the last one.
Unknown Speaker 23:57
Perry the President
Unknown Speaker 24:07
would like that picture.
Unknown Speaker 24:10
Remember, all of this is going to be condensed down to one thing
Unknown Speaker 24:17
to study with foreign
Unknown Speaker 24:19
foreign words, took it down to 200 and then the rest.
Unknown Speaker 24:26
Well, if you've got pictures I mean you can do a one liner under 5000 words is essential because that's a key step in the institute. So we can digitize that somehow you wouldn't have
Unknown Speaker 24:41
no idea what's in here.
Unknown Speaker 24:45
I didn't take that picture.
Unknown Speaker 24:48
I don't even
Unknown Speaker 24:50
think Frank can probably do wonders with
Unknown Speaker 24:57
the building itself
Unknown Speaker 25:00
That's another
Unknown Speaker 25:02
Allen gear was the chair when
Unknown Speaker 25:06
are we happy with the information? Can we write a couple 100 words on
Unknown Speaker 25:15
this
Unknown Speaker 25:19
nothing to do with that I was just doing sidebar. Okay No I'm doing all
Unknown Speaker 25:26
right everyone for checking
Unknown Speaker 25:30
out there the debentures
Unknown Speaker 25:34
and
Unknown Speaker 25:35
getting the land those are three distinct issues
Unknown Speaker 25:39
and then the fourth a fourth one will be the building of the building itself so are we happy with that yes the museum is
Unknown Speaker 25:48
all going to be like
Unknown Speaker 25:52
okay are we all happy with that essentially
Unknown Speaker 26:01
so now there's a new bill
Unknown Speaker 26:09
it had to be
Unknown Speaker 26:11
the permits reception had to be born
Unknown Speaker 26:15
fine, we could not
Unknown Speaker 26:19
put
Unknown Speaker 26:21
exhibition building on there but we could construct a barn which is why shape and structure because of the ALR
Unknown Speaker 26:38
you should talk to Alan about
Unknown Speaker 26:48
the guys in the picture
Unknown Speaker 26:50
Alan
Unknown Speaker 26:53
Mobley
Unknown Speaker 26:57
Deion Sanders nine to five
Unknown Speaker 27:02
the first one
Unknown Speaker 27:06
this guy's six months from a gumbo
Unknown Speaker 27:10
Get with the program
Unknown Speaker 27:14
if it's a gumboot land it's 390 550 I didn't know the first number but I never say never say it for seven years because now there's an eight well those are definitely 538 states don't even qualify
Unknown Speaker 27:33
anyhow and the building was built entirely with volunteer labor
Unknown Speaker 27:49
remember
Unknown Speaker 27:55
the word Fridays where every Sunday
Unknown Speaker 28:10
the families brought lunch
Unknown Speaker 28:24
any of the members of the directors current directors involved in it
Unknown Speaker 28:31
they're all much newer
Unknown Speaker 28:33
When did you first become a member
Unknown Speaker 28:42
but it's not this time
Unknown Speaker 28:58
lots of people find our members
Unknown Speaker 29:03
now okay, but I'm saying roughly roughly this period of time
Unknown Speaker 29:09
your dad is
Unknown Speaker 29:11
no mom and dad were both like members because of their involvement in
Unknown Speaker 29:19
growing up to them being members
Unknown Speaker 29:26
pictures of him on the agricultural grounds
Unknown Speaker 29:43
I have no idea when I physically became a member but I was involved with
Unknown Speaker 29:49
my team 1949
Unknown Speaker 29:52
When we move back
Unknown Speaker 29:56
so you wouldn't have joined right away
Unknown Speaker 30:00
I'm interested, you may as I said before, maybe it's one long
Unknown Speaker 30:04
people involved deeply involved in lots of people around the edges
Unknown Speaker 30:13
and we're in last, I've worked
Unknown Speaker 30:17
76 I was active because
Unknown Speaker 30:23
I missed one there, which I believe is
Unknown Speaker 30:28
80
Unknown Speaker 30:30
I think that's the only variable.
Unknown Speaker 30:34
And you say during all this all these times
Unknown Speaker 30:40
I was not a director, I was the museum committee.
Unknown Speaker 30:45
And I was actually
Unknown Speaker 30:48
fired.
Unknown Speaker 30:51
We're gonna talk about that because I want her to hear that so that's one of the highlights of my life
Unknown Speaker 30:59
so the museum committee was working on the victim courthouse at the same time that
Unknown Speaker 31:07
are going on with the barn
Unknown Speaker 31:10
five or something like that. No, no 3079 8081
Unknown Speaker 31:18
building
Unknown Speaker 31:22
open the building and 81 Because there's the cover.
Unknown Speaker 32:05
The building was built with these big doors because you have to have trucks were able to take livestock and it was never used for that but that was the building permit. It's why the concrete goes up around the bottom of the base because it has to be closed out for cattle being
Unknown Speaker 32:22
done whatever.
Unknown Speaker 32:34
So the first property was maybe one.
Unknown Speaker 33:00
Lecture 25th anniversary
Unknown Speaker 33:08
of the 100 and 50th anniversary of the first agricultural
Unknown Speaker 33:14
building
Unknown Speaker 33:17
that's of interest.
Unknown Speaker 33:31
Interesting,
Unknown Speaker 33:34
because we're definitely there. They're talking about things being reading the old equipment display, they follow the past of the horse show. And then this came out in 81. It says the pharmacist has taken on a massive project in trying to have a new building completed on the property in times of despair. Unfortunately, the weather Nanjing is not with us. As the building is to be erected by volunteer labor, we cannot firmly guarantee the project will come to get on time. Should this be the case then you farewell once again being held on school grounds. Final plans will be published in the directorate.
Unknown Speaker 34:12
So it doesn't
Unknown Speaker 34:17
add to the picture in
Unknown Speaker 34:21
those guys on the front. I have a feeling sad to also have the opening
Unknown Speaker 34:28
saying that there's a picture in the pharmacy
Unknown Speaker 34:31
with them either 81 or 82 that it was up there.
Unknown Speaker 34:35
So that's a question. We would put that picture
Unknown Speaker 34:40
but the first
Unknown Speaker 34:43
8182 Because that doesn't concern that it was ready for 81 All those other brands shows.
Unknown Speaker 34:50
You want me to look in the archives
Unknown Speaker 35:05
So I would start checking this September
Unknown Speaker 35:09
September
Unknown Speaker 35:17
September at
Unknown Speaker 35:24
September
Unknown Speaker 35:27
and September
Unknown Speaker 35:32
is our anniversary
Unknown Speaker 35:46
remember when I became a student
Unknown Speaker 35:50
I picked up
Unknown Speaker 35:56
and I always bought my milk
Unknown Speaker 35:59
yields
Unknown Speaker 36:02
go up and get three of those
Unknown Speaker 36:07
I had gone a couple of days before to pick up my milk
Unknown Speaker 36:14
a car came out in front of me at Harbor house corner
Unknown Speaker 36:19
and they went together and it's still a gallon of milk in my car it was last September the cars just I haven't
Unknown Speaker 36:30
and I had to go and pick up
Unknown Speaker 36:35
all the windows open in here the biggest laugh as you're coming to an agricultural function you're really getting into it with his car smelling all
Unknown Speaker 36:46
that he announced the grants from urban to come in at 79
Unknown Speaker 36:51
Of course
Unknown Speaker 36:57
you could check that out 79 30,000 $30,000
Unknown Speaker 37:19
So that would have been
Unknown Speaker 37:21
I can't remember Oh 779 Yeah would have been
Unknown Speaker 37:27
if he announced it and then he came back later to the opening of the building
Unknown Speaker 37:36
well he wouldn't be around all the time
Unknown Speaker 37:40
building but he's a good man
Unknown Speaker 37:55
defenses to Building
Unknown Speaker 38:03
Museum
Unknown Speaker 38:05
quietly closed doors
Unknown Speaker 38:12
when did
Unknown Speaker 38:16
I think I got fired
Unknown Speaker 38:20
thought that I wasn't allowed to
Unknown Speaker 38:31
refresh my memory who wants to
Unknown Speaker 38:37
bomb
Unknown Speaker 38:46
Do you want to warm up
Unknown Speaker 38:49
great.
Unknown Speaker 39:20
These records
Unknown Speaker 39:23
that we need to confirm
Unknown Speaker 39:29
down so fine it will be easy enough to get the
Unknown Speaker 39:38
bearings
Unknown Speaker 40:03
The evolution was
Unknown Speaker 40:08
instigated by Voltaire, representing the full fare Committee to the farmers Institute. And I can't remember who the director,
Unknown Speaker 40:17
although.
Unknown Speaker 40:22
And then when Patrick and I took over, we reported to the farmers Institute
Unknown Speaker 40:29
as the full fare committee.
Unknown Speaker 40:35
The Altair committee expanded with Joe and Dave and myself. I focus on fundraising in the museum. And they focused on the agricultural aspect of it in coordinating that area.
Unknown Speaker 40:57
A report at the pharmacy
Unknown Speaker 41:00
every month about what was happening.
Unknown Speaker 41:07
strong personality, and a lot of the meetings were held at
Unknown Speaker 41:13
their living up in the table, that's where they are health
Unknown Speaker 41:18
care. And over the years, involvement of the museum became, really,
Unknown Speaker 41:25
because our funding was dependent upon it. I was putting this energy
Unknown Speaker 41:31
cookbooks of the fall fair that were like hotcakes. And it was over a four year period that we were raising funds that
Unknown Speaker 41:42
took offense to this.
Unknown Speaker 41:45
The museum committee was overriding the pharmacy Institute
Unknown Speaker 41:52
I disagreed on set Museum is an integral part
Unknown Speaker 41:59
that's going on here if you don't have the heritage included part of the parcel and I said that's what motivated Patrick and I to begin with this my interest in the history and combine that with the agricultural
Unknown Speaker 42:16
property and why you know so all this could come together we could have a ground and a museum combination.
Unknown Speaker 42:25
So
Unknown Speaker 42:30
is an annual general meeting.
Unknown Speaker 42:46
are
Unknown Speaker 42:48
inside is
Unknown Speaker 42:51
a big service they open the doors. Okay, so maybe it was the back that was close up. It was held in United Church anyhow.
Unknown Speaker 43:00
movies made a motion
Unknown Speaker 43:05
of the museum committee, not
Unknown Speaker 43:08
an integral part of the
Unknown Speaker 43:17
focus
Unknown Speaker 43:21
can't remember whether the motion was at the AGM or whether it was a meeting before. Anyhow, I just got really ticked off because I wasn't a director. And therefore I promotion was that I was no longer welcome at the meetings that I couldn't get reports of the meetings.
Unknown Speaker 43:40
And I remember very inspiring was the director, the pharmacist, and he came up to me and he gave me a big hug and
Unknown Speaker 43:48
I can't believe this is happening. I just can't believe this is happening. So I was I was barred from the institute meeting but they voted to support this.
Unknown Speaker 44:02
I was I was out know whether it was actual in the records or not. I don't know.
Unknown Speaker 44:09
It wouldn't have been an AGM there would have been too many people
Unknown Speaker 44:13
would have been
Unknown Speaker 44:17
in my letter of resignation, because at that point, I resigned from the museum and it'll be really interesting to see
Unknown Speaker 44:27
if I can find it
Unknown Speaker 44:39
other directors would allow it to happen.
Unknown Speaker 44:43
That they couldn't see that
Unknown Speaker 44:45
of that component.
Unknown Speaker 44:58
It was after the building
Unknown Speaker 45:00
was
Unknown Speaker 45:03
after
Unknown Speaker 45:08
see, unfortunately I don't it doesn't give the name of the of the chair
Unknown Speaker 45:14
there and
Unknown Speaker 45:16
their committee and your father's Institute executives
Unknown Speaker 45:21
whereas
Unknown Speaker 45:24
8182 It says pharmacist executive
Unknown Speaker 45:32
chairman al Geer directors and Carrie Louise Lazarus, Barry Byron John Stewart while Ray was
Unknown Speaker 45:45
and then it goes on to the pharmacy Institute executive training which is out here for Mackenzie
Unknown Speaker 45:54
Lazarus
Unknown Speaker 46:00
but I can understand why somebody
Unknown Speaker 46:02
would support it
Unknown Speaker 46:11
I can't remember very booth
Unknown Speaker 46:16
I can't remember I have to I had to figure out
Unknown Speaker 46:20
who the executive was, but I know somewhere
Unknown Speaker 46:24
I can pinpoint the year that it was at that point
Unknown Speaker 46:29
I no longer represented the museum and we just we didn't
Unknown Speaker 46:34
we didn't open it for various reasons. And I'm not sure I think Historical Society opened it
Unknown Speaker 46:50
instead of the pharmacists
Unknown Speaker 46:52
got more involved
Unknown Speaker 46:55
Historical Society health fair
Unknown Speaker 47:05
so
Unknown Speaker 47:15
Mary go up and get all the papers
Unknown Speaker 47:29
John
Unknown Speaker 47:33
John's not forthcoming with information and when you give them something you never see it again. It's like a black hole
Unknown Speaker 47:45
so your information on your information
Unknown Speaker 47:50
which helps me this winter
Unknown Speaker 47:57
Do you want any of this and if he does, he does otherwise I will simply
Unknown Speaker 48:05
be great because it is so good
Unknown Speaker 48:09
to places you never know what
Unknown Speaker 48:14
the weather
Unknown Speaker 48:22
so I don't have to go through this and see what might be
Unknown Speaker 48:35
difficult
Unknown Speaker 48:46
the brain
Unknown Speaker 48:58
thank you for coming, but it didn't contain on a transcript to gain full fare. Pleased to receive the grant check.
Unknown Speaker 49:10
that your information is a copy of a letter to the honorable James Hewitt acknowledging the $1,500.
Unknown Speaker 49:21
Regarding our proposal to establish a permanent agricultural fairground, I can advise you as follows. The project is in the early planning stages, with majority of members in favor. We envision a combination agricultural growth with a museum exhibition center concept
Unknown Speaker 49:44
farmers market, sheep garden plot sheepdog, crowd horticulture demonstration course shows training.
Unknown Speaker 49:53
I really did that. The farmers market never ever came about
Unknown Speaker 50:03
Yes sir. So a lot of people are saying I'll never be a true farmers market
Unknown Speaker 50:14
we're in need of 30 to 35
Unknown Speaker 50:18
lack of brevity, simply notice information.
Unknown Speaker 50:24
So that's one of the methods that I wrote. So I'll put all these in in order and what I'll do is I will
Unknown Speaker 50:31
make copies for you, but we don't need those. We've got
Unknown Speaker 50:36
everything that we've talked today will be reduced to Georgia words yeah
Unknown Speaker 50:48
there's some nice little sidebars here. November 1897. The biggest Apple growth on the app this year was probably a glorious Monday.
Unknown Speaker 50:58
Walter Wait 24 hours. Greatest diaster. Five inches. That was
Unknown Speaker 51:05
all I research all those
Unknown Speaker 51:09
in the sidebar, I thought one year about the Gaitan. Gene Douglas talking about solving 53.
Unknown Speaker 51:20
It's all hand printed by my hand.
Unknown Speaker 51:27
One, two,
Unknown Speaker 51:29
and then they were printed at
Unknown Speaker 51:32
the company in Victoria printed,
Unknown Speaker 51:36
printed and collected. And
Unknown Speaker 51:41
Carolyn Hamilton did the sketches.
Unknown Speaker 51:45
Aw.
Unknown Speaker 51:48
Hamilton, that's not religious guys. No.
Unknown Speaker 51:53
I don't know who he definitely is. But that's not sketches that someone else who did right here we're looking at. We're looking at this is this 7980 That's
Unknown Speaker 52:06
the cover? Yeah, that's true. That hurts. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 52:11
AC?
Unknown Speaker 52:14
Because that's a symbol for some period of time. The cornucopia? Yeah. So that was probably something years symbol of the Faro transforms into a
Unknown Speaker 52:26
which one? Were you looking at this one? Copiah. Fair for? That was 76. And it's still there at 80.
Unknown Speaker 52:37
And 81. It has the building 82 It changes to the crest
Unknown Speaker 52:46
don't
Unknown Speaker 52:49
know. And then in
Unknown Speaker 52:51
84, it went to this kind of a booklet. Interesting the chronicle of changes.
Unknown Speaker 52:59
Knowing Caroline she's got it on our computer.
Unknown Speaker 53:03
Because she does our world about a tea every year. Yeah, but that's long before computers
Unknown Speaker 53:12
would be easy to get that in there.
Unknown Speaker 53:15
This one would be a little more difficult.
Unknown Speaker 53:19
Got better prints
Unknown Speaker 53:22
of the color, they'll have to do well
Unknown Speaker 53:31
you know, you could copy the
Unknown Speaker 53:36
transpose the date that use this as your photograph. Let's try this one. I think Steve can handle
Unknown Speaker 53:50
black and white anyhow, so it's not a real problem
Unknown Speaker 53:58
can't get a hold of that I give it to Steve
Unknown Speaker 54:02
Daris.
Unknown Speaker 54:04
And I've got that down to you
Unknown Speaker 54:11
trying to make
Unknown Speaker 54:12
Mary do this
Unknown Speaker 54:20
I will try and confirm to this correspondence some of these dates.
Unknown Speaker 54:24
And I'll try
Unknown Speaker 54:27
to answer some of those anything you can have more about music.
Unknown Speaker 54:32
I'll go into the museum and talk to John. But I know that there's this plaque in there describing the house before maybe we'll get one of those pictures
Unknown Speaker 54:44
for the Bitton Kretser long history on your own and of course, it was a little rental.
Unknown Speaker 54:51
Actually I had a little boy when I was working there not two years ago, and his father had lifted
Unknown Speaker 55:00
This is where my daddy's bedroom was. And I tried to get John to give this boy a roadmap because I thought it was about six. I just thought it would be a good walk
Unknown Speaker 55:12
to talking about his father having lived there when it was in
Unknown Speaker 55:19
March marches to agenda anyway he I didn't get to find the book and write it down name so it's there in the put don't like working with other people. All the all the cases came from the web trading
Unknown Speaker 55:35
they were doing it
Unknown Speaker 55:40
they used to be in the
Unknown Speaker 55:43
dry goods in the candy shop
Unknown Speaker 55:55
some of them were downstairs on the couch and carry them
Unknown Speaker 56:02
there's so much more stuff out there that could come. And in John's talking about putting instead addition onto the museum. And
Unknown Speaker 56:12
while I was talking to Gore leaking,
Unknown Speaker 56:16
and he had this beautiful
Unknown Speaker 56:20
crystal green gold,
Unknown Speaker 56:23
like a coffee mug, and crystal.
Unknown Speaker 56:27
And Elizabeth had won a gold medals for butter.
Unknown Speaker 56:34
Victoria fair knive put it on my computer. And if we can get in, it might be kind of interesting to show.
Unknown Speaker 56:42
Because we may mention that somewhere in
Unknown Speaker 56:46
particular, that was another cooperative.
Unknown Speaker 56:50
I have medallions of grandpa's that he had before in the show 1918 or something like this.
Unknown Speaker 56:59
For
Unknown Speaker 57:03
doing Red Velvet case,
Unknown Speaker 57:05
big heavy medallions have to
Unknown Speaker 57:11
be on the computer.
Unknown Speaker 57:15
So I have to find all this stuff.
Unknown Speaker 57:18
That's for the for the neck. That's for phase three.
Unknown Speaker 57:24
We got to get to wanting to first.
Unknown Speaker 57:29
So we're they have a Starter Group from the archives ready to work on December the 14th. Get together.
Unknown Speaker 57:38
Talk to Duncan last night.
Unknown Speaker 57:42
And we still have to make a decision a lot to talk about. But we're to have
Unknown Speaker 57:47
I mentioned that our hotspot is
Unknown Speaker 57:50
Central Hall, of course. And they're they've agreed to have an extra
Unknown Speaker 57:56
one that they would not normally have on Wednesday, we'd be the prime presenter. And then Steve will put together probably
Unknown Speaker 58:04
essentially the booklet
Unknown Speaker 58:06
and then have some kind of party now, Duncan is apprehensive about having a central hall. He believes that they could put maybe something like 7080 people in because of the special events. With Tony leaving not too many
Unknown Speaker 58:21
maximum capacity, but we'll find out.
Unknown Speaker 58:24
You could certainly have a pharmacist who for this kind of coalition barriers
Unknown Speaker 58:31
wouldn't be quite incentive.
Unknown Speaker 58:34
Well, if you put it in one link is going to say that it's a used one ring and then you you get some posters up.
Unknown Speaker 58:44
And all that kind of stuff. Anyhow, that's the kind of thing that we're looking at with Chris. Their their impression Junghans impression is that we can certainly get more than 100 people
Unknown Speaker 58:54
with twice they do it afternoon in the evening.
Unknown Speaker 58:58
So many people can't I mean, I've never been able to go to any of those historical things until every tariffs are possible. We originally when we are original idea was to have it in the afternoon one month so that we could have also features the next time habit in the evening. So the local people remember Dick Toynbee was really interested in that time so that local working people could attend that time. Well, it started out in the daytime and then every time it came up for a vote, all the elderly people who
Unknown Speaker 59:34
just voted it down.
Unknown Speaker 59:39
To presentation is good because then it covers the elderly.
Unknown Speaker 59:44
When we raise that issue with the director, why don't we look at our philosophy and we'll be meeting with comment and personality.
Unknown Speaker 59:53
And we'll raise that it shows the ideas.
Unknown Speaker 59:57
You stand up potential for flop of course the second one
Unknown Speaker 1:00:00
But at the same time, the old timers aren't going to come
Unknown Speaker 1:00:04
in the evening and the working people aren't going to government.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:08
Farmers probably most have never gone.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:10
Oh, we're not going to
Unknown Speaker 1:00:15
leaving. Thank you. You're a whelming kind of guy. Well, it's better than underwhelming. Yeah, but
Unknown Speaker 1:00:24
in other words, average
Unknown Speaker 1:00:27
the average work you're doing.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:31
Stop eating that white flour.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:34
Sugar, sugar. White sugar is the only white flour God
Unknown Speaker 1:00:41
I don't mind eating other forms of sugar but you don't get it in the kinds of things I like to eat. Like cookies and
Unknown Speaker 1:00:50
sugar in the cookies today. I get
Unknown Speaker 1:00:53
it by Dave Harris's honey and it has all sorts of special minerals and vitamins and bacterias and things that no one's ever seen before. I can believe that bacteria if you want an exciting afternoon Go and ask him if you can
Unknown Speaker 1:01:11
I can't think of anything else I know the museum has been held for has been used for wedding pictures.
Unknown Speaker 1:01:21
I know it's
Unknown Speaker 1:01:23
the
Unknown Speaker 1:01:26
old equipment. They bring in and haul out every year and then gradually it was donated to it which was a huge job. Ray Lee and O'Donnell Timo used to do that year in year out
Unknown Speaker 1:01:45
there's always been an interest in machinery are there right now that's waiting to come in and we're on daily does a lot
Unknown Speaker 1:01:53
I've heard that the first half a crew went out and got a lot of the old machinery from a park and Greg it up to
Unknown Speaker 1:02:02
Michael
Unknown Speaker 1:02:03
Michael
Unknown Speaker 1:02:06
I can't remember
Unknown Speaker 1:02:17
so it was very work intensive every time
Unknown Speaker 1:02:30
think that into
Unknown Speaker 1:02:33
how much you can get in
Unknown Speaker 1:02:37
you've got so much it's unbelievable.
Unknown Speaker 1:02:41
A lot of the environment the opposite was cutting it down to fit. And just literally
Unknown Speaker 1:02:50
the other thing you can do is make make your report points instead of
Unknown Speaker 1:02:56
rigid for that add in anchor points on because people will read points
Unknown Speaker 1:03:03
readily than they will read a paragraph. I wondered if you could do a little boxing not an ad
Unknown Speaker 1:03:11
talk to Tony Richards or whoever it is about doing some
Unknown Speaker 1:03:17
point of interest for the Fall coming up how many pounds of butter was sold in 1903 and just a little bit about butter making the next week and beyond that we have the facts that are in every two weeks and now they'll be in every week
Unknown Speaker 1:03:35
in the dress
Unknown Speaker 1:03:37
market here
Unknown Speaker 1:03:39
where are they in the main part and main bodies and as we put
Unknown Speaker 1:03:48
the text of the page
Unknown Speaker 1:03:52
and we're laughing
Unknown Speaker 1:03:58
ever heard of Edward Malla now?
Unknown Speaker 1:04:01
Yes, I know it's great to be one of the originals.
Unknown Speaker 1:04:06
No he wasn't well that means that you've ever seen this and it's been running dry. missing the boat
Unknown Speaker 1:04:26
Absolutely, first settlement, then colony of Vancouver
Unknown Speaker 1:04:41
and of course Bishop hills in his
Unknown Speaker 1:04:44
book, his title for the title of the book on his diary is no better land. And that was quantum physics and we got to start working that title. So we're gonna get all of the people thinking about that thing next month.
Unknown Speaker 1:05:00
If
Unknown Speaker 1:05:05
you're having a hard time finding I don't think
Unknown Speaker 1:05:09
I didn't see it
Unknown Speaker 1:05:13
every other week
Unknown Speaker 1:05:20
I've got a rough preamble for suggested beginning and I'll get that done up as quick as I can get it to you
Unknown Speaker 1:05:50
Andrew Parker
Unknown Speaker 1:05:57
he running a horse
Unknown Speaker 1:06:02
horse show and they have
Unknown Speaker 1:06:06
raggedy raggedy ass raggedy
Unknown Speaker 1:06:11
raggedy as
Unknown Speaker 1:06:20
interesting though that I didn't see it and you can't find it
Unknown Speaker 1:06:28
I don't think it's an info off
Unknown Speaker 1:06:45
it's part of our agreement with
Unknown Speaker 1:06:50
because they get all the revenue from the
Unknown Speaker 1:07:00
one article and the most the catalog is out already
Unknown Speaker 1:07:03
it's already set aside
Unknown Speaker 1:07:07
now
Unknown Speaker 1:07:09
this year I thought I would make all my grandchildren for something
Unknown Speaker 1:07:15
and so far I've only had
Unknown Speaker 1:07:19
two blaring ear phones to me
Unknown Speaker 1:07:34
then the people in community
Unknown Speaker 1:07:44
well
Unknown Speaker 1:07:48
we look for but I wonder
Unknown Speaker 1:07:51
is that always in that corner? I don't know. I can't remember.
Unknown Speaker 1:07:57
I think if
Unknown Speaker 1:07:59
I recall it being in this position at one point they put it just fit it in wherever they can because of the Comp thing as part of our
Unknown Speaker 1:08:10
oh
Unknown Speaker 1:08:13
come on
Unknown Speaker 1:08:24
very interesting
Unknown Speaker 1:09:03
back to a
Unknown Speaker 1:09:09
while we can update that for sure.
Unknown Speaker 1:09:26
Children's School
Unknown Speaker 1:09:56
where
Unknown Speaker 1:10:14
High School
Unknown Speaker 1:10:22
the old
Unknown Speaker 1:10:24
school
Unknown Speaker 1:10:52
please accept my permission of the check in the
Unknown Speaker 1:10:56
market I'm very sorry about the services enclosed by the check for $20,000 in final payments to the
Unknown Speaker 1:11:05
museum committed
Unknown Speaker 1:11:08
that's the level they gave us 100,000 March 24 invest in additional investment heritage
Unknown Speaker 1:11:15
so you got a 50,000
Unknown Speaker 1:11:28
mark for Mr. Moy
Unknown Speaker 1:11:34
this is really a treasure trove John Volker was the next person
Unknown Speaker 1:11:53
think anybody
Unknown Speaker 1:11:55
looking after
Unknown Speaker 1:12:04
a job doesn't seem to have an interest in renewing
Unknown Speaker 1:12:09
as it was a turn of the century it has always been
Unknown Speaker 1:12:19
a blast
Unknown Speaker 1:12:33
marry might well like them next year
Unknown Speaker 1:12:40
we try not to get stuff
Unknown Speaker 1:12:44
that was interesting the whole world so thank you very much
Unknown Speaker 1:12:51
and people acknowledgement
Unknown Speaker 1:13:02
Yes, interesting things in here
Unknown Speaker 1:13:16
this is about moving the house
Unknown Speaker 1:13:21
with Nico Bradley's moving
Unknown Speaker 1:13:27
Jonathan as well as helping with that yard
Unknown Speaker 1:13:38
finally had had an architect
Unknown Speaker 1:13:47
I know certainly parts
Unknown Speaker 1:13:50
had him do all the way
Unknown Speaker 1:14:03
larger I recommend the union of upper and lower candidates
Unknown Speaker 1:14:17
this was the sort of stuff I was getting from the
Unknown Speaker 1:14:21
Sydney review and I worked on it. I had probably 30 files
Unknown Speaker 1:14:28
20 of them would have been family names
Unknown Speaker 1:14:32
is agriculture
Unknown Speaker 1:14:38
battleship
Unknown Speaker 1:14:40
settlement
Unknown Speaker 1:14:52
lessors and downgrades by JP
Unknown Speaker 1:15:01
putting enough if anybody wants like all most of the families
Unknown Speaker 1:15:07
on
Unknown Speaker 1:15:08
the all the obit dates if anybody's ever doing genealogy okay there's a date
Unknown Speaker 1:15:16
because the only place I've ever seen
Unknown Speaker 1:15:20
a legislative Library
Unknown Speaker 1:15:29
Catalog gems completed agricultural grounds
Unknown Speaker 1:15:42
This is Thomas Hudson
Unknown Speaker 1:15:46
and then from there it's Thomas
Unknown Speaker 1:15:51
her family their family and then each of those spin off
Unknown Speaker 1:16:02
what's happened here
Unknown Speaker 1:16:08
Mary Patterson and Martha Paulette
Unknown Speaker 1:16:11
Polly pattern
Unknown Speaker 1:16:13
and then this offense is Elliott which goes through all Melbourne
Unknown Speaker 1:16:22
so interesting
Unknown Speaker 1:16:25
all the family trees
Unknown Speaker 1:16:29
are thriving
Unknown Speaker 1:16:42
that was at your 100
Unknown Speaker 1:16:54
Kena that's an odd name
Unknown Speaker 1:17:08
where did they come from
Unknown Speaker 1:17:20
now the Hudson that I know would be
Unknown Speaker 1:17:27
Hudson Hudson
Unknown Speaker 1:17:32
I grew up knowing
Unknown Speaker 1:17:38
justice Hudson
Unknown Speaker 1:17:43
Edward
Unknown Speaker 1:17:45
Thomas Hudson
Unknown Speaker 1:17:49
Hudson was called
Unknown Speaker 1:17:51
because he was the son
Unknown Speaker 1:17:57
Tom was the son of
Unknown Speaker 1:18:01
god
Unknown Speaker 1:18:11
mom and dad are the most paid
Unknown Speaker 1:18:13
when they began their life over
Unknown Speaker 1:18:16
and over through
Unknown Speaker 1:18:26
down to
Unknown Speaker 1:18:31
the funny name don't Melbourne
Unknown Speaker 1:18:40
it's amazing how many of these names are not biblical in a day and age when most names work in Melbourne quite an unusual
Unknown Speaker 1:18:59
first things ended up on the divorce
Unknown Speaker 1:19:09
hopefully
