I paid so little attention to the film that I missed the Morse code, as well as any connection between CQ and the film's plot. The 10-year-old Mattawa resident is learning Morse Code and how to send messages from his grandfather, Francis Therrien, a retired Canadian Pacific Railway. His 1901 wireless telegraphy communication in Morse Code between stations in England and Newfoundland was pioneering. He makes a joke that as well as maintaining the 12 Norton motorcycles he also tried his hand at morse code. “But I tell you, they would have lost the war. Those mischievous Irish eyes of his always seemed itching to blink the answers in Morse code. As it turned out, "Millionaire" was a metaphorical precursor. There, copper plates near the entrance bear snippets of Morse code, and a naturally magnetized lodestone sits by a compass rose etched in granite.

Samuel Morse invented the famous Morse Code and was a major influence on early communications. Come for a visit, share some memories and celebrate. The Morse Code Telegraph Club will be at the Wabash Valley Railroaders Museum at 1316 Plum St on Saturday. Starting at 2 pm.
