George McPhail

← People of the Society · on record 1969–1992

Everything the Society’s own records say of George McPhail — the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won — gathered on one page. Where the records are silent, so is this one.

In memoriam · 1996

A longtime member of the Toronto branch and an Honourary Life Member of the Society. A bookkeeper by occupation, he assisted at many CSCL sales at the CNE and was the Society's Treasurer 1986-91 — the span the Spring 1996 newsletter gives, and the one his own rows bear out. His death is reported there as recent news, with no date; the notice is the archive's only source for it.

From Spring 1996, page 5.
