This week, Kate talks about Walter Kidd, born in 1854. Walter had a pretty diverse life in Haliburton County - lawyer; school teacher; farmer; hunter - and finally pioneer rebel. Plus, Paul talks about a storm that might not raise many eyebrows now during this age of climate change, but in 1954 Hurricane Hazel was a rare - and disastrous - event that struck Ontario resulting in death and destruction.
