Welcome to Seven New Charter Members

The Society warmly welcomes six new Charter Members:Patricia Caouette, JHWS “Rip” of Winooski, Vermont

We hope to learn more of Patricia’s Sherlockian and Watsonian background and will post the information when it is received. Until then, please welcome Patricia with the Society’s greeting:

“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”

Francis Perry, JHWS “Roger” of Reading, Berkshire, UK.
We welcome Francis and hope to learn more of his Holmesian background. Please extend a warm welcome with our traditional greeting:
“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”

Scott William Schulz, JHWS “Philo” of Garner, North Carolina

Scott Writes:  “I have been a fan of Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson for many years, but I have never really participated in the fandom beyond being a member for many years of The Hounds of the Internet (must be 10+ years now) and the
WelcomeHolmes email groups.  But even on those I am merely an avid
reader.

To date, my singular contribution to the advancement of the tradition of the Canon has been though my incessant championing of both Holmes and Watson to any who happen to wander past my office and who either express an interest of any of the items on the wall or shelf of said office, or who happen to linger too long near one of those items. Oh, and I did bring my wife to the light that is the Jeremy Brett rendition of Holmes (she would fix bags of popcorn and a fresh pot of coffee at 11 PM every Saturday evening for us to enjoy while watching that week’s episode while they were being rerun here on PBS).

We invite Scott’s participation and look forward to his contributions to the Society. Please welcome him with the traditional greeting:

“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”

Wayne Weatherwax, JHWS “Regis” of Westfield, Massachusetts.

We welcome Wayne and hope to post his biographical information when received. Until then, we extend our greeting:

“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”

Ellen Reeher, JHWS “Gilda” of St Paul, Minnesota

Ellen writes:  “I found out about the society just this morning from the dulcet tones of Scott Monty over at the “I hear of Sherlock Everywhere” podcast and came right over to subscribe.

Unlikely though it may be here in the wilds of Minnesota, I’ll look forward to someday hearing the society greeting.”

And so, we extend that greeting of welcome to Ellen:

“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”

Sharon Conroy, JHWS “Maggie” of Williamston, Michigan

James Conroy, JHWS “Schnapps” of Williamston, Michigan

The Conroys are members of the Greek Interpreters of East Lansing. We are delighted to welcome them to membership and look forward to their contributions to the Society’s activities.  Please extend a warm greeting:

You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”
