At
our February meeting James Powell delighted us with a number of rarely
told stories from Ottawa's history. There were tales of missing and
altered portraits, a hovercraft company that went bankrupt. a young
ottawa socialite who became a German Foreign Minister and was hanged
post WWII, something called the chicken cannon, an aerial invasion from
the USA and tons of European gold transported and stored in Ottawa.
There are many more stories on the Historical Society of Ottawa website.
