ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses career and experiences of world-renowned forensic scientist, Dr. Douglas Lucas. "The Last Word Society" was devoted to descriptions of unusual cases, usually historical, in which the presenter had a personal involvement or had done extensive research, stories for which there probably could be no "last word." The chapter emphasizes that such presentations were "stories" and not formal "papers." Any list of things uniquely Canadian would be relatively short. Although it might include Hudson's Bay blankets and custom-built lacrosse sticks, it is unlikely that most people's lists would include art. There is, however, a readily identifiable Canadian art form, other than Eskimo carvings. Most Canadians know there once was something called the "Group of Seven." In the spring of 1913, Tom quit his job in Toronto and returned to Algonquin, where he quickly became a fixture in the small lumbering community of Mowat on Canoe Lake.
