We had such nice weather last weekend, didn't we? I chatted with Ralph Everdyke on Sunday and he had said it was 80ish in Florida. (Ralph, you are missing all the pretty leaves. They changed late and its nice to still have some pretty ones now. Of course, during our winter, I will be more envious of your temps in the 60's.) Ralph said he played golf on Tuesday and would have finished earlier, but they had to wait for an alligator to get off the green. He said he likes the courses in Florida because of all the wild life you may see. Ralph is in New Port Richey which is on the gulf side. Congratulations to the Williamson and Sodus Libraries: Two Wayne County libraries are proud to announce their place on a nationally-recognized list of Great American Public Libraries.

The focus will be on the lives of Isaac Hurley and his family. Recent donations to the archives are two portraits, which will be on display, along with other family artifacts. Did you know that Isaac was an inventor and that the Society has copies of his patents? Do you have some knowledge of the Hurleys that you'd like to share? Join the dish-to-pass dinner beginning at 6 or for the General meeting which begins at 7. The meeting is free, open to the public and held at the Brick Church at the corner of Brick Church and Ontario Center Road in Ontario (two miles north of Route 104). At future general meetings, the group will focus on other aspects of the archival collection. Next up will be the Mink Industry in Ontario. Can't make the meetings, but have information to share? Contact JoAnn Meaker (accessions curator), 524.2340. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the column by sending along information. Anytime you have things you'd like to have added, please write to me at Everything is important. Enjoy your week and your families.
