A "Reciprocal"
Members of the Orleans
Historical Society visited the Hingham Historical Society on May 7 and were guided in their visit by Gene Chamberlain. They suggest a "reciprocal" with the Hingham Historical Society, perhaps in the Fall.
Any members interested in such a "reciprocal" are invited to contact Will Ertman.
Annual Meeting
The Society's Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17, at the South Shore Country Club.
For member information, the current Bylaws are reprinted on pages 2 and 3 of this newsletter.
Details of the Annual Meeting and Program will be highlighted in the September issue of News and Notes
, mailed to Historical Society members in late August.

The Erickson Company purchased a number of the Historical Society's Out of the Ordinary
cookbooks and distributed them to persons on the Linden Ponds Priority List. The Society has received the following note from a cookbook recipient:
Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan
April 17, 2003
Dear Members of the Hingham Historical Society,
As a prospective resident of Linden Ponds, I was sent a copy of your cookbook, Out of the Ordinary." What a nice way to be introduced to the community.
I was so impressed with the book—the recipes, the history, art work, calligraphy. You are to be congratulated.
I am moving East to be near several family members who live in Cambridge and Newport, RI. I'll be sure to
visit the Old Ordinary, and am looking forward to going on your House Tour.
Your cookbook could also be called "Way Above the Ordinary."
Sincerely,
Margot Sterren
