Newsletter editor was going to be handled by someone else. Or so I thought. Unfortunately, for health reasons, the editor-to-be decided he could not carry out the task of producing the newsletter, and so I have volunteered (?) to give it a try. Working with me will be Michael Reid, who will take on the responsibility of Treasurer for the group. Scope of the Study Group The Study Group, as originally proposed, covered the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Ports/Shipping. This might possibly have eliminated some key areas in Ontario and Quebec not readily assumed from the Study Group title. These are the Ottawa River, Lake Champlain (both of which figure into most collections of steamboat mail) and the Muskoka Lakes. It would likely have removed from the scope of the study group the Lower St. Lawrence, encompassing the Quebec North Shore and the Gaspe, where the handstamps of the Clarke Steamship Company are a major study area in itself. per he years, A !an Steirhart and I had a number of conversations at the regularly held St. Lawrence Hall stamp how about this kind of study group.

We are making an honest effort to make TELESCOPE a better magazine, doing this both through changes in format and in the type of subject matter used. Current news is being emphasized, along with an effort to print more material on model shipbuilding. The cover which appears this month may be settled upon as TELESCOPED ”new face.” Other changes made necessary by the change in size have already been put into effect. We hope we are doing a good job. TELESCOPE exists because the members of the Guild see fit to contribute annual sums to the Guild. It exists not be­ cause the editors edit it, not because the printers print it, but because you, the members, pay for it.

  • WEBSTER, Harry Lloyd (Lloyd) [UNTD YORK '44] (1925 - 2012) Age: 87
    WEBSTER, Harry Lloyd (Lloyd) [UNTD YORK '44] (1925 - 2012) Age: 87 Webster: Harry Lloyd Known to family and friends as Lloyd, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 15,2012 at the age of 87 at The Villages of Humber Heights. Loving husband of Gloria for 64 years. Loving father of Clarke and Mary-Margaret, Craig (predeceased in 1972), Brian, Starr and Grant and Robin and Peter. Fondly remembered as Papa to 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Lloyd enjoyed a distinguished career working at Bell, Bell-Northern Research and Northern Telecom. After retiring in 1986, he and Gloria spent many happy winters as snowbirds in Siesta Key, Florida where he pursued his childhood passion of painting and perfected his golf game. Children and grandchildren were frequent visitors. In more recent years, Lloyd and Gloria sailed the world aboard the Queen Mary and Queen Victoria, making new friends along the way and often hosting children and grandchildren for some legs of the voyage. Perhaps Lloyd was best known for his playful sense of humour. His many puns and plays on words delighted and entertained his family, friends and colleagues throughout his life and right up until his last days. Another notable attribute was his genial nature and overall contentment with life no matter what the day might bring. Lloyd was a man well loved and his was truly a life well lived. A private family service and interment was held July 19. Lloyd was a generous contributor to many charities and would be honoured to know that others followed his example by donating to a charity of their choice.

Patron, Euan Maclachlan of Maclachlan, Chief of Clan Lachlan President's Message Greetings Members and Friends of the Clan, We live in interesting times. It appears probable that we may require vaccine treatment on a regular basis as protection against a mutant Virus threat. Couple this with the effects of Climate change, and we face a challenging future NOW. Over the last 90 years I have lived through the effects of World War 1 and the Great Depression, World War 2 including our bombed house in the Clydeside Blitz, the Cold War with Russia, Emigration to North America, Brussels & European Integration, the rise of China, the impact of world-wide internet, and low-cost computing. Now we must add the Virus Threat. From about 1300 to about 2000 the clan organization was built on geographical groups of clan members, first in Scotland and Ireland then in England, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. Now we have the capability to form world-wide groups on any topic. I hope that we can organize ourselves in the near future. I send regards to all members and their families. Duncan MacLachlan - #41 Chief's Commissioner, Executive Trustee Lachlan Trust of Canada, President Clan Lachlan Association of Canada.
