Message from HCHS President 2006

 

This edition of Notes is two years late, due in part to the tyranny of the urgent. Over the span of five years, it seems all the towns and villages in Huron County have been preparing for their 125th anniversaries, many of them arranging for local histories and updates. Our resources truly became stretched. To the fans of Historical Notes and to new readers, our apologies and our hope that this edition was worth the wait.

Huron County Historical Society was begun in 1924, ceased meeting in the thirties – "it lived briefly but died of neglect" according to Gavin Green, a local wag at the time. It was reborn in 1964 under the guidance of Susan Muriel Mack, librarian of the Crediton Public Library and strong supporter and contributor to the Womens' Institute movement. She became the Society's first 1960's president. In 1965, the first edition of Historical Notes was published and its annual appearance is anticipated by the Society's stalwarts and supporters. This is the 41st edition.

All is well with the Society, but as with most other volunteer groups, it needs membership and leadership invigoration periodically. Our general meetings are lively and informative with quality speakers and presentations of local historic interest. The 2006 council was composed of the following dedicated volunteers to whom the Society owes a round of thanks. Past-chair Deb Bauer, secretary Nancy Hughes, treasurer Mac Campbell, Notes editor Rhea Hamilton-Seeger, archivists Isobelle Bissonnette and Ted Turner, memberships Elaine Snell, councillors David Armstrong, Glen Gardiner, Brock Vodden, and Rosalind
Ward.

If any of you have queries about the Society or archives, please use the current information on the contact HCHS page.

Ralph Laviolette, Chair 2006-2008
