• Hi Eric:

... I had an older fellow drop in at the paper with a photo in hand. He says he found it cleaning out his father’s home after he passed away. His last name is Ouellette… Anyway, this photo is an old black and white photo that appears to be from the early 20th century of a longboat (made of wood) up on rollers on the beach, with two outbuildings in the background. Mr. Ouellette says this was taken at Point Pelee (I personally feel it may have been taken on Pelee Island). The caption that has been hand written on the bottom of the photo is “Bickford and Rogers Fishery” That’s all I have ...
