Henry had previously been a member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of the Cape Fear, but moved to Chapel Hill over a year ago. Anyway, in his email, Henry told me he would be in Wilmington in late October, and would love to attend a meeting if we were still having them. I didn't have the heart to tell him we had moved to ZOOM only meetings, so I created a special in-person meeting, and invited others to join. Only four of us attended this meeting, but it was a lot of fun! Attending was Ed, Maurie, myself (Tom), and Henry. We met at McAlister's Restaurant at 5pm, ate dinner together, then had our meeting. The entire evening lasted until almost 8pm, and a great deal of fun was had by all!

Attending was Vinny P., Tom Joel H., C., Steve M., Elaine L., Steve S., Paul S., Ed G., Tram C., Rich K., Michael E., and Maurie G. Notes from this meeting:The began with a discussion of local interests, specifically baseball. But soon, we were on track with our primary reason for gathering. After brief introductions, Tom C. reported some of the results of a project he is conducting called, "Who would you be". The project asked people to choose which Character's identity they would choose to be from the Canon. Tom said that he had received 19 entries, but that the final results would be posted next month. Next, we conducted a show and tell session, where each person was able to display their favorite Sherlockian books in their collection. It was both enlightening and entertaining. Our mystery tonight was "Sock it to me", and took about 12 minutes for this group of Sherlockians to solve. It was definitely a group effort! Our assigned story tonight was The Adventure of the Lion's Mane, and was presented by Maurie. She used Power Point to tell the story, and then led the group in a great discussion. All in all, it was a great meeting, with a great group of people!

Well done!
The highlight of this meeting was Maurie's presentation of The Adventure of the Lion's Mane. She did a wonderful job telling the story, and then led the group in a discussion of the finer points. Again, well done! |
