Bob named the group after the subhead of "His Last Bow," observing that an epilogue, after all, is something that follows \u2014 and for thirty years, the group followed the Great Detective through meetings dedicated to friendship and story discussions.  All of their meetings were held in the resonant walls of a Quaker meeting house, with the group soon adopting a two-story format, where discussions of two of Watson\u2019s cases were followed by unearthing the hidden links and echoes between them. Beyond the scholarly deep dives, the Epilogues were legendary for their informal, affordable atmosphere, fueled, in large part, by Peter McIntyre\u2019s celebrated homemade ice cream. Having now concluded their own Great Hiatus, the Epilogues will officially kick off a new chapter with their first online meeting later this year.  Join us as we discuss the group's history, the art of finding connections between stories, and their relaunch this coming May, when they invite a new generation of Sherlockians to join the conversation. And sign up to be notified. We kick off our \u201cLearned Societies\u201d segment with Sherlockian society activities in the first half of May. Then it\u2019s a new edition of \u201cExamining the Pictures,\u201d with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI. This time, Christian explores Bill Condon\u2019s 2015 film, Mr. Holmes, with the script by Jeffrey Hatcher, BSI.  The Canonical Couplet quiz then tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.
