Hello Tom,
I wish you the best for the New Year, already a few weeks old, but the Chinese new Year begins this weekend. Peter Jessup has just sent me some reunion photos which I am going to post on the website. Is the young lady standing between Tim Weinland and Abby your daughter? I think I remember the face as being one of the Basket Landing people. Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill --
Yes, the young lady standing between Tim and Abby is my daughter, Lisa Feldman, who acts as "traveling secretary" for the Basket Landing group (whose four singers are all "family" as well -- a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, and a [much younger] half-sister).
Love your Lunenburg-area photos. Did you have earlier ones of Cape Breton? We have searched (cursorily) but have come up with nothing yet. An island off Port Felix was second home for us in the seventies.
Best, Tom

Hello Tom,
Thanks for the info. I looked up Port Felix in my Nova Scotia Atlas. You can't get any further East in Nova Scotia. You were the first to see the sun rise every day. I think you said that you and a partner were developing property in NS. But on an island off Port Felix? Think about isolation, wow.

I have attached 4 photos from our trip around Cape Breton. I haven't done anything about the trip on the website yet. Might do later. Don't want to hog space – something Nona is worried about because of her three entries. We especially liked the Celtic region around Mabou where the signs are in Gaelic and the Rankin sisters own a pub. Someone has recently built a distillery near Glenora Falls. They make a single malt scotch, but having lost a law suite about using the word scotch they just call it whiskey. We are going back next summer and hope to visit Isle Madame.

The pictures are –
1 – we stayed a few days at a friend's cottage right on Lake Bras d'Or (an inland salt water lake open to the Atlantic Ocean).
2 – A view of Meat Cove – a very desolate place in the North West
3 – A view of the coastline – always impressive as you drive through the Highlands
4 – Fort Louisbourg – a reconstructed tourist attraction of the 1740's French fort – very true to the original.

Send something in for the website if you get a chance. My best to you and your wonderful family. /Bill

Attached is a submission for the website. At the reunion the gang saw several of the first generation T. Powers offspring. Here is a shot of some of the second generation (a/k/a grandkids) shot last Christmas with Methuselah himself!
Cheers,  Tom
