Sometime late in the 1960s, the attention of the government of the day was drawn to the location of one of Canada's oldest settlements, the Colony of Avalon in Ferryland, by a group of dedicated local history buffs including my late grandfather, Howard Leopold Morry. To commemorate the site that was named the Colony of Avalon by its founder, George Calvert, later Lord Baltimore, Don Jamieson, then Newfoundland's representative in the Federal Cabinet, flew into Ferryland by floatplane and unveiled a brass plaque that can still be seen at the site today. Howard Morry is shown in this photo just after the unveiling. The photograph and several more of the ceremony were given to me by Doug Windsor of Ferryland. Doug celebrates his 90th birthday on June 23, 2014.   Submitted By: Chris Morry
