Many of these verses owed their charms to a sly self-deprecating wit: To the Valley of St.Francis.Where the river gleams and dances.And the Magog rapids meet it at the bend.I would like to write a jingle The stories in this special 95th anniversary supplement were told by Eastern Townships historian and long-time Record constributor Bernard Epps.The photos, many by the late Gerry Lemay and Doug Gerrish and others by Steve Bell, Perry Beaton and Grant Simeon, come from our files and from the Special Collections department of the Bishop's University Library.Congratulations .THE RECORD ANNIVERSARY!
