Megaphone November 2011

In this month’s Megaphone we feature the Willow Bunch Museum, specifically their widely popular exhibit on Edouard J. Beaupre, The Willow Bunch Giant.

*Just to make a quick correction, to all of you who receive the Megaphone via email, at the end of the article taken from Poplar Poles and Wagon Trails.

The original note said: “Recently it has been discovered that the Giant’s Grandmother was Florenstine Piche Beaupre’s sister Isabelle Piche Desmarais and not his mother.”

This is incorrect it should actually read: ” Recently it has been discovered that the Giant’s Godmother was Florenstine Piche Beaupre’s sister Isabelle Piche Desmarais and not his mother.”

Sorry for any confusion.
