0 Comments

 
Our 33rd meeting was conducted on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, and began at 7pm at 5905 Carolina Beach Road, Unit 7, in Monkey Junction. Attending was (from left to right) Tom, Barb, Rick, Michelle, Pat, Ed, Lance (our newest member), Barry, and Candace (taking the picture).

Notes from this meeting:

  • The meeting was delayed slightly because we all wanted to wait for Ed's arrival.  While we waited, we got more acquainted with Lance, our newest member.  
  • Barry read a quote for us to guess. The quote was from Scotland Yard detective Lestrade, and it came from the story "Boscombe Valley Mystery". Pretty much everyone guessed Lestrade, but no one came up with the story title.
  • Barb did a masterful job at describing Mary Morstan, which was guessed by Barry and Candace.  As Barb pointed out, she was Watson's first wife!
  • Pat entertained the group with several fun facts about Sherlock Holmes and ACD stories.
  • The mystery to solve was entitled "Keep Smiling".  This mystery seemed difficult at first... at least until Pat was able to explain what really happened.  He deserves most of the credit, but Candace uncovered several facts, and deserves honorable mention.
  • Ed did double duty tonight by bringing us several interesting collectibles, and then leading us in the discussion of The Naval Treaty.  Very detailed and well presented - well done, Ed.

Plans for our March meeting:

  • ​Our next meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, and be held at the usual place (Tom's Computer Repair Shop - Beach PC).  All who have expressed an interest in the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, are invited to attend!
  • ​Barry has volunteered to bring us a quote from one of the stories we have already discussed.
  • Michelle said she would bring a character description for us all to guess.
  • Ed plans to introduce one or more fun facts about Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle.
  • Candace volunteered to bring an interesting collectible for show and tell.
  • The assigned story is The Norwood Builder, and Barb has volunteered to lead the discussion. Here is the link to the Granada Television series: https://archive.org/details/SherlockHolmesGranada/1985-09-08+-+Sherlock+Holmes+-+The+Norwood+Builder.avi​
