ASPECTS OF PEI HERITAGE THAT INTEREST AND EXCITE ME

The following blog posts on Island history and heritage all started life as lectures illustrated with colour slides and later, PowerPoint presentations. I gave my talk – only to have it dissolve into a mist when everybody went home. The reason I chose to take on this blog project was to rescue all that knowledge and those insights from the mist so that, for a while, they would live again. All of the following posts derive from lectures I have given over the past 45 years.
