WATERLOO HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2014 MEETINGS Saturday, March 15 at 1:30 St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Iona Hall Doors open at 1 54 Queen Street North, Kitchener K-W photographer / collector, Helmut Ostermann is the guest speaker. For many decades he has been both taking and collecting photos of the Twin Cities, and his presentation is a virtual snapshot of Kitchener-Waterloo from the 1940s through the 1990s. Part of the display will be in a “then and now” format and other photos will simply show “what once was.” Helmut’s considerable historical knowledge provides a backward glimpse and a heads-up on the value of preserving our past. A question-and-answer session follows. Helmut will have copies of his historical collection for sale at the meeting. Some meeting details weren’t finalized in time for the newsletter, so there may be a few additions to the program. Information about the meeting from
