- We lived on Normandy Blvd, and my Mother would walk across the street to work. She would watch out the window to see us walk to school.

- Yes, your younger sister and I spent many summer days walking up to the cemetery and enjoying the shady trees on "the plot" and we could look across and see DSH. (We had to rent one of the DSH warehouses to store the things pre-auctions). Wonder how many auctions Alf has done so far 👆🏻. 😄

My dad was Ken Allan, big sister Connie McMenemy. Great after-school job - during the busy season it was bedlam, but FUN! Lots of GDHS kids running in circles, all the older ladies like Mrs.Velma Martin maintaining a sense of stability... but most of all... Mr. Karl Moeschter! His knowledge, life experiences, dedication, etc., etc. but all with that unforgettable sense of humour. I grew to respect the man just as much as my father did. Unique. R.I.P.
