Thank you for the information, I've also added him to our employees on the wiki

What was the interview she done on him about?

[hanesh1]

My daughter produced a video about the DAR and the line from Truro to Winsdor.
Some of the people she interviewed were Mr Blackburn, Bill Clarke, Jim Hennigar, Roy Rhyno, Annie Weatherhead, and Luella Hennigar. She researched this topic for approximately 5 plus years. Last year she wrote a paper on the bridge construction in South Maitland for a history course at Dalhousie University. She has presented her research in Kennetcook at the Summer Festival for 2 years, Maitland at Launch Days, and at the Scott Manorhouse in Bedford.

Heather does she have a copy of that video online for us to watch?
I'd like to try and find a way to incorporate her research into the wiki.
