The next special event for the Stormy Petrels will be “Reichenbach Falls”
This day will include the memorial wreath tossing, a visit to Vincent Starrett’s mother’s grave-site, a pot-luck supper and a visit to our own “company store”
We will begin at 1:00 pm at “Toad Hall” and carpool to the “Falls” and the cemetary. Back at “Toad Hall” we will enjoy our refreshments, and if we are lucky, perhaps a game or three of “Sherlock-O”. In lieu of an auction, Len has decided to open the “Company Store” which houses some Petrel supplies such as note paper, key chains, cards, etc. which promise to become future collector’s items.
If you would like more detail on this event, please contact your Consulting Detective.
