He has been my neighbour here on the Indian Brook First Nation for nearly thirty years. Doug is one of the most respected Elders that I know. One beautiful day in December, Doug invited me over to his house for some tea. He explained to me that he wanted to talk to me about something important. He also explained that he was busy that week and would not be home until that Saturday. He asked if I could come over to his place and that 10:30 a.m. would be a good time. I had plans that day, but when an Elder such as Doug invites you over for tea, you make sure that you clear your day. “Is he ok? Am I in trouble?” are some things that were going through my mind. That week ended up being pretty long. Just getting an invite from Doug and being able to spend some precious moments with him is an honour in itself. Doug has always had a mysterious way of doing things, but they always had a purpose. A few months earlier, in October, Doug had me over to his home and was telling me about a book that he’s been working on and that he planned on releasing it in the spring. At that time, he mentioned that he wanted to have a launch in the community and wondered if I would beExcerpt there to speak at the opening of the launch. That Saturday morning when I went over to Doug’s, his wife Michelle had made a nice light breakfast for us all. Doug introduced me to his friend Errol Sharpe and told me that Errol was the one who was helping him with his book, which he’s been working on for the past few years. During breakfast, while Errol was talking about the xi Doug Knockwood, Mi’kmaw Elder book and how far along it was, it was in those moments that I realized that when Doug had asked me to write the opening for the launch of his new book, he was actually asking me to write the foreword! My heart went up into my throat and my eyes filled with humble tears. With Doug being such a great man, whom so many look up to, being asked to write the foreword for his book is undoubtfully the highest honour I have ever been given. My life is very busy. But not nearly as busy as Doug’s. Doug used to be an avid golfer. He loved golf. When he wasn’t travelling for work or being asked to be in another community, he could be found on the golf course with his close friends. He used to be gone bright and early, at the crack of dawn. One evening, we happened to get home at the same time and I said, “Doug, a little late getting out on the course today?” Doug replied with that beautiful ear-to-ear smile of his and said, “Oh no, it was such a beautiful day, I decided to do another round of eighteen in the afternoon.” Here was a man double my age, with double the energy! I later told my mother about how Doug made me laugh and she replied, “Oh yeah, he loves his golf, and I think he may only have one lung.” I remember travelling to Ottawa one time to sing with our drum group. While we were there, I got talking with someone at the Odawa Native Friendship Centre. I introduced myself and right away they asked, “Are you related to Doug Knockwood?” I replied, “I sure am. He’s my neighbour, and my grandfather grew up with him. I’m pretty sure that we are cousins.” They replied, “Oh Doug is such a great man. He is one of our Elders here and has helped so many people. We all love Doug.” Doug Excerpthas always been such a humble man. He is very soft-spoken, but his words have so much meaning. Over the years I became quite amazed by how many people knew him from coast to coast. I was more amazed when I would hear stories from others about how many lives he has touched and how many people he has helped. This past November, it was such an honour to watch Doug on xii Stories, Memories, Reflections tv. He was invited to take part in the national Remembrance Day ceremonies in Ottawa. When they invited the veterans to lay down their wreaths on the cenotaph, Doug was honoured by leading the veterans and being the very first one to lay his wreath.

JAY UNDERWOOD........ 130 FRONT COVER: When the Intercolonial Railway of Canada opened its through line from central Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1876, the passengers had a choice of several different types of accommodation. Most sumptuous and elaborate was the first class sleeping car exemplified by sleeper "Restigouche", of which this is an interior view. Notice the elaborately carved woodwork, the fancy oil lamps, the plush seats, the decorated ceiling and the beautiful carpet; all typical of the later Victorian era. At the end of the car is a small but adequate buffet, and each section has its own table on which food could be served. The "Restigouche" was like a hotel on wheels during the trip of more than 24 hours to Halifax. Additional photos of this car appear on page 123. Photo courtesy of the New Brunswick Museum.

The next meeting will be held on November 18th.. L.E.& N. — G.R.R. CARS NOT SOLD The management of the Lake Erie & Northern — Grand River Railways has advised that the report in the last issue regarding the sale of the steel passenger equipment is erroneous. The cars are still on the property awaiting disposal. PASSENGER TIMETABLE CHANGES IN EASTERN CANADA By W. T. Sharp The year since the last report (Newsletter 108) has seen the most radical changes in Canadian passenger timetables since pooling of the Montreal - Toronto services. Each road has broken away from the traditional convoy pattern of transcontinental service by introducing new “fast” trains which average better than 40 M.P.H. coast to coast and made substantial improvements on its Maritime main line. While the C.N.R. continues its ruthless pruning of secondary passenger services, apparently regardless of potential traffic, the Canadian Pacific has made some imaginative applications of RDC cars to provide local service at speeds up to 60 M.P.H. Since the schedules of the C.P.R.’s “Canadian” and the C.N.R.’s “Super-Continental” have been discussed previously in the Newsletter, this report will be concerned mainly with the secondary services. CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY Introduction of the “Canadian” in April as trains 1 and 2, (the Toronto connections are trains 11 and 12), necessitated renumbering of Montreal - Vancouver locals 1 and 2 as 17 and 18, the Kettle Valley trains 11 and 12 as 67 and 68, and the Sudbury - Sault Ste.
