The same nominating committee was appointed as follows: Leola Robinson, Colby Kalloch, Glennys Gross, Dean Mayhew, and

Dean Mayhew is continuing research on the Kalloch background and anticipates going to England. The research
will be expensive. A motion was made to put $150.00 more in the Historian Fund to be available for Dean and
Peter for expenses in their extensive work. Peter gave us more data on the genealogy. Also spoke of
comparing Judge Gould’s records with Bertha Drewett’s which were very accurate, also with Eaton’s Annals. Judge
Gould, Bertha Drewett, Peter Richardson and Dean Mayhew have and are combining a fabulous record of the Kalloch
Family.
Beginning with 1980 all business meetings and are on cassette tape and are available to be copy. Also there Is a
tape of Dean Mayhews on family history.
Peter spoke of meeting with Harold Kalloch of Vancouver, Canada when he was out west on a seminar. Harold and
wife were at a reunion when we met at Crescent Beach in 1974. They came a distance of 4500 miles just for the
reunion, mainly because he is on research for a book he wants to write up of the Kalloch Family. Read the 1974
records.
Peter gave a lot more interesting data which is on the tape - much too long for this report.
Voted to adjourn.
Hazel Hills Sec.
