What a wonderful find. Thanks so much for sharing this article. It makes me even more proud to live in this uniquely charming community. Rick, it seems you had a kind and appreciative father.
It’s a bittersweet moment in the history of our lovely neighbourhood. Sadly, there will be quite a void without your presence here, but happily for you, you’re probably starting a wonderful, exciting new chapter. Please keep us all posted with a timeline so we can at least have a glass of wine together before your departure.

(819)921-1433Capital Chronicles The History You Were Never Told, By Rick Henderson
Rick explains “The JARA Speaker Series was postponed because of the pandemic. I had prepared the material on Aylmer history for the JARA session from my research and decided instead to incorporate much it into one of the blogposts. The little known history of Aylmer is in the 2nd blogpost entitled Of Bar Fights, Turnpikes, and Fox Bites – The Early Settlements or L’enivrage, le péage et la rage – Les premiers établissements.”
So instead of attending at his house, grab a cuppa and enjoy his Speakers Series installment in the comfort of your home and visit this site: https://www.capitalchronicles.ca/blogThe next JARA book club will be at Portia’s house on April 28th at 7:00. It is a little further this time around in order to accommodate for all of the book club members who are involved in the Aylmer Community Theatre production on Blithe Spirit – hope to see you there on April 16th, 17th or 18th (shameless plug!).
Our next book is Where’d you go, Bernadette by Maria Semple.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette is a 2012 comedy novel written by Maria Semple. The plot revolves around an agoraphobic architect and mother named Bernadette Fox, who goes missing prior to a family trip to Antarctica. It is narrated by her 15-year-old daughter Bee Branch. It is told in a series of documents (emails, memos, transcripts, etc.) with the occasional interlude by Bee.
We wanted to choose something lighter this time around…and this seemed to fit the bill. It’s also a movie if anyone isn’t interested in reading it 🙂
Thanks, and see you on the 28th…
Laura
