Nipigon Gazette March 26, 1980 around town It's a small world after all Recognize that smile? The old fossil is at it again...and this time he's touting Nipigon in Brookline, Massachusetts. It would seem a certain library teacher, on vacation in this neck of the woods, discovered Nipigon's own natural resource a couple of summers ago. She took the memory of E.C. Everett and his historic anecdotes back to Brookline, and this winter, some thirty children from her school wrote letters to him. Does he answer letters? Indeed he does. In the photo, above, Everett displays a few of the poems he wrote, on genuine birch bark for each of the children who wrote to him. He also designed a birch bark wall hanging for the school, scripted with a poem called "Cabin on the Nipigon River". "Anything I can do to put Nipigon on the map", he says! E.C. Everett, Nipigon, Ontario (whose story we hear in the following pages of this album)
