This is a photo from the 1977 MT&T News Bulletin.
There is an error in the caption - Tea Hill was approximately 5 miles from Charlottetown. The replacement link was 40 miles from Charlottetown.
Roger Meek passed away some years ago - his widow donated some items to the Museum.

I just happen to know one, but unfortunately she lacks time travel abilities, so can't correct that error... ;D
