MERRITT SIGNS IN
[Welland Tribune, 26 May 1979]
William Hamilton Merritt, builder of the Welland Canal 150 years ago, visited the Town of Pelham Tuesday to sign the guest book and visit two local schools to explain the circumstances surrounding the canal construction to students. When signing the guest book, supervised by Ald. Mary Lamb, Mr. Merritt wondered how a modern contraption like a ballpoint pen could be called a pen and could write, for he did not have to dip it into an inkwell and no ink flowed from it. He was afraid the thing would smudge the book. But it didn’t. Mr. Merritt is played by actor-playwright Dave MacKenzie of Ridgeville
