 Cataraqui-Kingston Rotary: News Items
 
 
 
It is the 1960s and Francis Warton of BC, needs a new pair of dentures, but he thinks they are too costly, so he makes his own with teeth carved from a deer he has shot. This is just one of the over 35,000 medical artifacts on display at Kingston’s Museum of Health Care.
 
A stethoscope carved out of wood in 1860 in France and an 1870 carbolic acid sprayer created by George Lister are examples of medical artifacts described by our speaker Anna Collett, Programming and Communications Director for the Museum.
 
 
When you are 85 years old, condensing your life into a 10-minute presentation can be a challenge. New C-KR member, John Borst, a transfer from RC of Kingston, accomplished the feat by using just 10 moments or vignettes from his life.
 
Beginning with the mystery of his birth mother and adoptive parent, Borst left us with the thought that his only heritage is “Canadian.” This was followed by two lessons learned on the good and bad sides of capitalism when he sold flowers door to door as a nine year old; first at full profit, then on commission.
