Legion Notes returns and hopefully we will have a column each week from now During this time of year the Branch plays host to visitors and former residents of Georgetown who are visiting during vocations and all provide stories and re mem which are interesting however several weeks ago we were visited by Gcorgina Henry from Melbourne Florida and her sister Gladys Henry Poole from Toronto and their visit waa of particular interest to Branch members Their father purchased the building we now occupy and for a number of years he operated a livery business from this location until he had to give it up in 1926 due to ill health During a tour of the building the Henry sisters pointed out a number of areas where they recalled as having once held stables for horses or storage areas for sleighs and carriages It was not only an enjoyable experience for them but also for those who com pan led them on the tour It was unfortunate that no one in the Branch thai evening remember Mr Henry
