0 Comments

 
Our 30th meeting was conducted on Tuesday, November 19, 2019, and began at 7pm at 5905 Carolina Beach Road, Unit 7, in Monkey Junction. Attending was (from left to right) Tom, Candace, Michelle, Linda, Barb, Rick, Barry, and Pat (taking the picture). Bill was at the meeting, but unfortunately left just before we took the picture.  Sorry Bill!

Notes from this meeting:

  • Pat read a character description for Mary Morstan, who was introduced to Watson in SIGN OF FOUR, and later became his wife.  Credit for guessing her identity goes to Michelle and Candace.
  • Michelle brought a fun fact for the group to enjoy.
  • The mystery to solve was entitled "Brother, can you share a crime?", and was quite a puzzler for everyone... except Rick! It seemed like Rick asked all the right questions to lead to the solution of this crime, and he definitely gets credit! Here is the solution:  "When Astorbilt refused to lend his private secretary money for her brother, she killed him. As he finished signing a check, she stabbed him in the neck with a pen, then changed the amount on the check. She was caught when the bank noticed the star was missing from his signature."
  • Linda did a masterful job at presenting the story entitled "The Resident Patient", and then led the discussion.​

Notes for the next meeeting:

  • December's meeting will take place on Tuesday, December 17th, at 7 pm.  Of course, the place will be Tom's computer repair shop, Beach PC.
  • Candace volunteered to bring a character description.
  • Barry volunteered to bring a quote for everyone to guess.
  • Barb volunteered to bring a fun fact.
  • Tom volunteered to lead the discussion on the story entitled "The Blue Carbuncle".  You can watch this story by clicking on the link below:  ​https://archive.org/details/SherlockHolmesGranada/1984-06-05+-+Sherlock+Holmes+-+The+Blue+Carbuncle.avi
