His book is filled with stories about the people who worked there. Special price $20. \n  \nAndrew McGill – local photographer and farmer. Andrew will present his family’s personal connection to the Gunnery School.  We’ll pay tribute to his grandfather\, Blake\, who was a hardworking member of the Glencoe & District Historical Society in its early years (Est. 1978).  Blair and Andrew are presenting in person.  \n  \nPaul Anderson\, author of Eric Stirling – The Missing Son – A Recollection of His Life\, published privately \, New Zealand.  Paul is joining us from his home in New Zealand via Zoom.   \nPaul Anderson has published the wonderful letters his uncle wrote to family back in New Zealand. Young Eric Stirling joined the airforce and like so many young guys from the Commonwealth\, he was trained in Canada at the #4 B&G School. He never made it home. \nThe young men were SO young. The movies cast actors in their 30s so we forget that WWII was the first adventure off the farm for many young soldiers. Eric was 24. Many were not even 18. \nPlease join us to learn about what went on over in Fingal during WWII.  It was a very exciting time!   \nOctober 12\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,83371144079#\,\,\,\,*814970# US (Washington DC) \n+13092053325\,\,83371144079#\,\,\,\,*814970# US \n  \nDial by your location \n        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n        +1 309 205 3325 US \n        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n        +1 386 347 5053 US \n        +1 564 217 2000 US \n        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n        +1 646 931 3860 US \n        +1 669 444 9171 US \n        +1 719 359 4580 US \n        +1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 833 7114 4079 \nPasscode: 814970 \nEric Stirling graduating from the gunnery school
