a) Mickey Mantle
b) Yogi Berra
c) Joe DiMaggio
d) Babe Ruth
e) Lou Gehrig

Join us on Friday, June 11th at 6:00pm at the St. Francis Ball Field for a game of softball - East vs. West. The ball field is a 15 min walk from the Conference Hotel. The Host Committee has arranged for Tha Dawgfather, PHD (Professional Hot Dogger) to vend at the event. He guarantees to add some down-home Halifax 'flava' along with his "phat boys" (hot dogs) and burgers. Whether you're planning to swing a bat or cheer your team on, it'll be a great evening! Join us at the Red Stag post-game for celebratory drinks, or to drown your sorrows in a pint.

The answer to our last quiz question, Question #7, was c.) a man's face. If you walk past St. Paul's Anglican (or better yet, go inside the church), you can see the outline of a man's face in the window. It is said to resemble of Rev. Jean-Baptiste Moreau who was an assistant at the church from 1750-1753.
