Rev. Dr. John Johnston, January Will and Rev. Stephen Kendall unveil a portrait of Will's father, Rev. Dr. T. Melville Bailey during the dedication of the church's national archive's reading room in Bailey's name in late April. Bailey was the irrepressible force behind the creation of the archives (and the museum, which Johnston oversees). Bailey's historical interests included his church and his beloved hometown of Hamilton, Ont. A park there will be named after him on June 23.
