Murals Dear Editor, The State of the Art article by Ashley Miller in the August issue gave me a flash back memory - in particular the mural on page 86. When I was a child growing up in Laurenceton, NL just across the bay from Botwood, NL I was prone to having many bouts of sore throats and tonsillitis with high fever. This one time my mother felt I was serious enough to go to the hospital in Botwood to see Dr. Twomey - shown on the mural. Upon examination he prescribed penicillin. I went to the next room and a nurse was standing there holding a needle - similar to one shown in the mural. She said, "Drop your pants!" With fear and trembling I did as she ordered. I received two needles, one on each side. And needless to say I had two sore cheeks for a number of days to follow. However it did the trick and I was back to normal in no time. These murals truly do bring back to life the ways of our past. Kudos to Mike Stainline for his recapturing of the history of Botwood and for his foresight and efforts to seeing this amazing project come to fruition. Congratulations to Botwood for receiving the honour to host this Global Mural Conference in this September. These many murals will enlighten us for years to come of how people endured, and give us insight of the historical past. I travelled through Botwood in September 2017 and took this picture of this amazing mural obviously depicting the Wood Industry which employed many, and it was their livelihood in this area in Newfoundland for centuries past.
