Once again the Hudson Historical Society welcomes David O'Keefe back for our [pre-] Remembrance Day meeting, which will take place on Monday November 7th at7.30 p.m. at St. James Church Hall.
Ed Cowell, Montreal’s favourite weatherman (until his recent retirement) will be the guest speaker at the Hudson Historical Society’s monthly meeting on Monday April 12th at St. James church hall.
Born and raised in Montreal, Ed is married with three daughters and has lived in Rigaud since 1972. Ed’s post secondary education specialized in meteorology at Federal Institutes in Ottawa and Cornwall and in Television Weathercasting at Lyndon State College in Vermont. Ed was a meteorologist with Environment Canada for thirty-three years and a weather broadcaster with CBC and CJAD radio stations also spanning 33 years.
Ed will entertain us with his tales of the ups and downs of his life in the public eye telling us what we may encounter on the drive to and from work every day.
