"Cyrus Eaton was a person too overwhelming to contemplate.  His decisions were of import to the world.  Yet he met the people of Pugwash as complete equals.
  One remember​s the year 1957 when the big International Conference shook the people of Pugwash to action.

  Leona MacLeod completed a painting of lobsters traps on Pugwash wharf and a 98 year old Charlie Teed presented this wonderful painting to Cyrus Eaton.  The event was at Ivan Purdy's cottage West Pugwash where the populace gathered for a cook-out.  Cyrus Eaton introduced Anne Jone; in six months they married.
  Cyrus Eaton monumental figure in the financial and diplomatic world has many books and reams of print written about him, and rightly so; Charlie Teed, the imposing figure making the presentation that day could have recited enough tales that day to fill a huge book of Lore; but no one thought to listen and record.  Now it is too late.
  The Start Weekly, Toronto, did an article on "The Thinkers Conference" in 1960 and fortunately featured a good picture of Charlie Teed and his Walrus mustache.
  The Star quoted Charlie as saying, "I was a grown man when Eaton came through 70 years ago.  I called him Cy then and I see no reason to change now.  He doesn't want war and he is doing his best to avoid it.  He's a real gentleman." [from Lore of North Cumberland by Harry Brown and Others --published by The North Cumberland Historical Society; Publication No. 9 -- 1982]
