Our 35th meeting was conducted on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, and began at 7pm. Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, this meeting was ONLINE, using the ZOOM Videoconferencing Service. Attending was Barry, Tom, Bill, Beth, Candace, Michelle, Pat, Barb, Rick, Ed, and Henry (not pictured).

Notes from this meeting:

Since this was our second ZOOM meeting, the proceedings were much smoother than last month.  Henry joined us, but could not be pictured because his computer did not have a camera or microphone.  Still, it was nice having Henry join us!  
  • Ed read a quote from the story entitled "Mystery at Thorr Bridge", which no one was able to guess.  Oh, well, there's always next month!
  • Barb brought us a couple of fun facts about Sherlock Holmes
  • Instead of Show and Tell, Tom discussed the story lists he had received from just about all active members.  It was mildly entertaining to reveal everyone's five best stories list, and to see which ones were common to all lists.  
  • The mystery to solve this month was "Chain Reaction", and was considered by all to be difficult. After many questions, it was Candace who deserves credit for solving the mystery.  Congratulations Candace!
  • Beth did a great job at leading the discussion of the story "The Solitary Cyclist". Rather than summarize the story, she decided to present a comparison of the ACD story with the adaptation created by Granada Television starring Jeremy Brett.  Well done, Beth!

Plans for the June meeting:

The June meeting will take place on June 16th at 7 pm.  At the present time, we plan for the meeting to be held in person at Beach PC, 5905 Carolina Beach Road, Unit 7, Wilmington, NC   28412 (just south of Monkey Junction).  If it looks like we will still be restricted by Covid-19, then the meeting will be handled using ZOOM.  Tom will let you know by email as we get closer to the date.
  • Michelle has volunteered to bring a quote.
  • Candace will bring a character description
  • Barry will bring a fun fact
  • Ed will bring a show and tell item
  • Bill will lead the discussion of the story "Black Peter".
