Out of the mouth of babes


 Looking at the photo's & talking about
church's. We went to Verdun United My sister Glo was married there next to
Dawson's Boys Club. All The kids gathered outside the church to see the
beautiful bride come out. I have a picture all the gang out side . I'd like to
post it. Some of you might even be in the picture. In later years my daughter
and I were at a turkey dinner there down in the basement . There was a big
picture of the last supper . My daughter pullereverands cloak and said " I know
that jesus is sitting in the middle , but what's the names of the other guys?

Spent many a Sunday morning sleeping in this place. But it was the site for weekly Life Boys meetings and floor hockey games. Rev. Jones was the name, I think.??

I also went to church here as a child. I was married here and my daughter was christened here. The second photo brought back memories of when I was young and lost a tooth there while playing at the side of the church. I left very sad that I couldn't find it to put under my pillow for the tooth fairy. D

Great pictures, Les!   Thanks.  My wife and I were married at, not in, this church in 1967.  We couldn't be married in the church itself, because my wife was (still is) Jewish.  So Reverend Jones married us in the vestibule, or the rector's office.    It was a very small wedding, indeed—just a handful of people, including my foster parents.    We just celebrated our 40th anniversary this past week.   Regards, fellow Verdunites,   Jack
