  "Many years ago the Harpooners helped and supported an actor, Darryl Maximillian Robinson pull off a production of  The Final Problem. He put the production on at our local pub as a preview to the stage production. Darryl Maximillian Robinson could pull off one of the best British accents we had ever heard. Usually when someone did something of a Sherlockian nature with the HSU; make a presentation, help with logistics, etc., we would make them and honorary member. Jeremy Brett received one. Back then the Harpooners had many fun awards. Since their name came from a seafaring Sherlockian tale, all the awards were whales or something nautical. Great fun." -- John Foster, Right Whale, The Harpooners of the Sea Unicorn, and Long-time Member of The Sherlock Holmes Society of St. Charles, May 22, 2018.
