Denise, I was through B/wth today and called at the Information Centre. Told them I was representing a descendant of HC (that's Hiram Crawford, not High Country!), and asked for a copy of the "Echoes of History" walk brochure for you, but that cut no ice at all. They aren't releasing the brochures until Friday 29th, which is the Official Launch, with politicians, drums, bands, flags flying and whatever... My powers of persuasion are obviously not what they were (and we'll have no discussion on that topic thankyou). May I suggest you write a grovelling email to the Info Centre. You're sure to do better than I did ;-) (We got one because we belong to a group who're invited to the Grand Opening. Nyah nyah). I'm already looking fwd to a "lemonade" with your cuz Bob next year. We both like the same "lemonade", I recall.
