    • Where was”the Island?”
      
    •  dont recall anything. The shack he lived in was much like the railway station but I think both buildings were in place at the same time. Any other Linehousians remember that?
      
    • yes. His cabin burned down while we still lived across from him. I remember the fire but not much else. I remember visiting with him. Nice old man

    • the Island as the kids called it was right in front of the row of houses Gisby`s Culp`s etc. All the kids hung out there and there was lots of kids at the time of my boys .
    • Thanks. I had never heard it called that. We used knock on people’s doors and then run hide in the bushes there! Naughty kids we were

• And you could cross the track to the kilns. We waited there for Queen Elizabeth to pass in the train and she didn’t even come out to wave at us👍
