After 47 years of playing the Sinclair bagpipes my Mom & Dad bought for me in Pine Falls, I had them updated with some David Davidse hand engraved aluminum fittings and had everything installed by our local expert machinist Mike McDonald who also made the imitation ivory projecting mounts.

The clock tower of the old Post Office. Built in 1910, the Post Office Building is considered one of the finest examples of neo-Baroque architecture in Canada. It is one of four older buildings redeveloped in 1986 as part Sinclair Centre, an upscale shopping mall. The building served as Vancouver's main post office until the current one opened in 1958.

812 Sinclair Lewis Avenue in Sauk Centre
Text:
When Harry Sinclair Lewis was born here on a bitter cold February 7, 1885, Sauk Centre was a raw prairie town with an unpaved main street and five or six blocks of false fronts. A gawky, sensitive child who achieved little success in school and was the brunt of every crude piece of horseplay, "Red" Lewis spent most of his youth tagging after his adored older brother and doctor-father, and reading every book he could find. he began to write at age fifteen. Despite the years of lost jobs and false hopes that followed his graduation from Yale Unviersity in 1908, he persisted in his determination to become a writer.
With the publication of Main Street and Babbitt, Lewis became a successful novelist and critic of American culture, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. He returned frequestly to Minnesota; never able to deny his underlying attachment to the Northern Middle West, he described it as "...the newest empire of the world...a land of dairy herds and exquisite lakes, of new automobiles and tar-paper shanties and silos like red towers, of clumsy speech and a hope that is boundless." Lewis's talent declined and he died alone in Italy in January 10, 1951. As he had requested, his ashes were brought home to Sauk Centre. 1968
