Good Afternoon,

I found Janet Emerson’s write-up regarding my father, Dr. John Herbert
Chamberlain, better in known in Georgetown Ontario as Dr. Joe
Chamberlain. Joseph Blake Chamberlain born July 11, 1951 passed away in Cambodia, July 26, 2019.
Who is Janet Emerson? I do not remember sitting with Janet in
Kindergarten. Who is Dave?
If I remember correctly, Mrs. Dewar was our Kindergarten teacher at Chapel Street Public School.
Please have Janet contact Janet, for whom she is named.
Thank you,
Regards,
Janet Chamberlain Williamson
