Stories that are touching, humorous, and uncomfortable but always informative.Thanks to Margueriteâs interviews we know the inside scoop on the dead horse incident at the Diamond Jubilee parade, how illegal liquor was brought into town, the exploits of town constable Herm Sleeted and peopleâs fear following the Rodne Gilberts murder.
