Watson. Next, Bill narrated a Youtube clip which demonstrated the disappearing gun trick in The Problem of Thor's Bridge. Very enlightening, indeed!

While she is waiting for paramedics to arrive, Mary notices a card sticking out of her mother's pocket.

Next, Ed narrated several video clips, displaying several of the more well know actors who portrayed Sherlock Holmes. At this point in the meeting, we allowed Linda to present the story for night, which was very well done, as usual.

Notes from this meeting:While waiting for all meeting attendees to arrive, Tom talked about the "Gardner Heist", the true story of The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft. Although this topic created a lot of discussion, unfortunately, the mystery remains UNSOLVED! Special mention goes to Candace, for an outstanding job at presenting THE ABBY GRANGE! Well done! You may recall that when she presented THE SPECKLED BAND, she created a diorama of the rooms talked about in the story. Another member who deserves special recognition is Bill, for bring a poster and miniature ship to help illustrate his assigned stories.

Both Pat and Barry brought fun facts about Arthur Conan Doyle, which were very interesting indeed. Tom's show and tell was his English coin commemorating Sherlock Holmes, and Barb's show and tell were her grand kids, both of which were very well received. And after Tom moderated the discussion about the assigned mystery, Michelle brought us a review of tonight's story, which was The Missing Three-Quarter.

Everyone seemed very delighted that Carol joined us this evening. She is a friend of Linda's, and seemed to enjoy our little group. I hope she joins us again! Before beginning the meeting, we sang happy birthday to Michelle! She and Pat were over celebrating with Rick and Barb, and they joined the meeting as a group of four.

We were all treated by visions of pet dogs, not to mention the appearance of Tom's grandson, Ezra. Tom's shirt color changed, and his camera (or Internet connection) caused his picture to freeze from time to time. Barry had similar problems, but managed to hang in for the entire meeting. All in all, it was a good meeting, primarily because we were all "together" again.
