RELICS OF THE PAST
Recently we opened a time capsule from 1962 from when the House of Studies was built in Wheaton. The time capsule (a sealed metal box) was rescued by Andy Wells, our Building and Grounds manager for the Wheaton property. We saved the opening of the capsule for a special occasion, when many of us would be present. That opportunity presented itself at the joint celebration of the installation of our new leadership team, a new leadership structure and Claire Vandborg’s retirement as provincial secretary. Claire opened the box describing each of the nine items as she removed it from the box. These treasures will be added to our archives and they for available for future generations.
