Via ZOOM : My American Grandpa was a Postmaster...in Ontario!

We hope you attended via Zoom and enjoyed our special guest and author, Rick Barrett, as he charmed us with his postmaster grandfather's story.  


For years there's been a fascinating story that, in the 1920s, Grandpa Barrett was a postmaster in a tiny fishing and hunting town in Ontario, Canada. 


Yet after years of wondering, several interesting documents confirming his appointment finally surfaced in some family estate materials. 

Grandson Rick Barrett showed these remarkable official documents, along with a number of very interesting philatelic items and other visuals, and talk of family-related postal history.
