On Feb. 15, 2010, Elaine Ingalls Hogg spoke to the Club about her background. She was raised firstly in Grand Manan as a child, then to Cape Breton for thirty-two years and finally moving to Sussex. Elaine writes an inspirational column for the Kings County Record and has stories included in more than a dozen anthologies, as well as various magazines and newspapers...
Her first book was a short kids book about dealing with loss called Remembering Honey, inspired by her volunteer work in the palliative care unit. She is the author of Historic Grand Manan, When Canada Joined Cape Breton and was the editor of Christmas in the Maritimes. Her most recent book is a history about the Town of Sussex, scheduled for publication in May 2010. In Historic Sussex, Elaine collected over 150 historical images from Sussex’s beginnings up to the Second World War.
Elaine was a fascinating speaker, for sure.
