(ca. 1984), a typewritten poem, a list of local policemen (1876-1969), and a photocopy of a letter written by Mr. Schurman regarding his hockey experiences. The collection also includes a postcard of the Leas Merry Sunshine Fox Ranch in Summerside.

The collection consists of twenty-four photocopied pages including handwritten notes by Mr. Steele about his memories of boyhood and the war years, a list of captains serving on the CN ferries during his employment, a list of members of the Crystal Sisters hockey team, a typewritten account of James "Stork" Gillis, and a typewritten list of Summerside policemen from 1876-1969. The four original sheets consist of one page written by Mr. Steele about the guns in Memorial Park and three pages of notes taken by Fred Horne during a December 2001 talk with Mr. Steele. The audiocassette in the collection contains a sixty-minute interview.
