  'Jock' (William) Craig, who for 54 years was the letter carrier of the General Post Office, Halifax, N.S. Photo taken 1 Aug. 1871, when 81 years old William Craig (ca. 1790-1874) was a noted Halifax character who wrote under the signature "Will the Ranter of Craig Lee". His publications include Rich Men: A Lecture by Will the Ranter, at the New Market Hall, Oct. 9, 1863 (1863) and Verses (Halifax, 1869). Craig's rhyme,"The Champion of Nova Scotia", which appeared in Verses, criticized Joseph Howe's political switch from Anti-Confederate M.P. to Conservative cabinet minister: "What has come o'er our champion Joe/ That he has been converted so/ Why should he go and join the foe.../ Go with the traitors one and a';/ You've sold yourself to Ottawa...."

     A member of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in World War Two, he returned home with health problems of his own.  After marrying the couple moved to Saulnierville for the good clean air and restful lifestyle.
     Mrs. Tufts, very much an Acadian, was newly graduated from Maritime Business College in Halifax, and had started her career during the war working at Zellers store on Barrington Street when she was called upon to translate the needs for the crews of Free French submarines put into Halifax Harbour in the first days of World War Two who were shopping for souvenirs.  Her bilingualism has served her well ever since.  Her first book was written in 1975 to fill a void in Acadian history on women’s contributions.  In 1979 her book on the Acadian child sold 15,000 copies.  Most of her writings have been in French but many of her speaking engagements are in English.  She had published books of poems and a Christmas story, as well as books on cooking and household hints.  In recognition of her work she was invested as a member of the Order of Canada––the first Acadian, and was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in 1977.  She also holds the coveted medal of the Associated Council of French Life in America.
