-Mel still lives in Collingwood —he was down here at Muriel’s for lunch last Mon.—-Jake brought him as he doesn’t drive anymore he will turn 90 in Feb.
-Cy Spence Was the bootlegger ... i believe in the '60s.....Shhhhh!
-I think so.... the '60s were a long time ago... i do remember traveling in the old '57 blue and white ford...Grampa Walt's to see this nice man on Sunday afternoons...

-We lived at 25, 29, 31 and 20, from age 2 until 16, so that corner is etched into permanent memory. My Dad and his father lived there too, adding some history too.
-I think I put a comment on here when we talked before because we rented from your Grandfather an apartment in the corner house in 1945 when my Dad came home—-Harry Shortill and family lived there also —-first place we had after the war—was only 4 so don’t have a lot of memories only that we shared a bathroom and I think we were upstairs
-Thanks, I was adopted in 1954 ,that's when I appeared. I was two, so I don't have memories from early either. Because lots of people rented there, to be near work, there were many faces over the years.
-I also remember when you could not see the houses when Georgetown got natural gas. They dug big trenches along that side of the street and heaped up the dirt along the street. Nobody had to go to the sandpit for those weeks in summer.
