When Clifford Lilly appeared in an episode of Land and Sea, they called him the Historian of Exploits. \nThe Lewisporte man has been writing and curating the stories of the region for over 20 years. Today, the community was scheduled to commemorate that work, with a living tribute at the town's public library.\nIt was to feature 26 books and historical collections, as well as an original painting, all done by Lilly.\nMartin Jones met Clifford Lilly in Lewisporte, along with Myrtice Alpen, who was organizing the event.
