Powassen

Hi Levisjean7:
 
I believe you mentioned visiting Powassen a couple of weeks ago - I mean who hasn't. Actually we used to rent a cottage at Port Loring and passed through Powassen a number of times. It is nice country up your way.
 
I used to go to Woodland School with your brother Bill. I remember that he was huge - must have weighed 110lbs. If you look at my photo album on page 5, there is a picture from our Grade 4 class. Included in the photo are a few other Melrose residents; including Ian McGregor, Peter Rinder and Walter Neilson.

Hi Wendy:   It's great to hear from you. Peter was an incredibly popular guy and his untimely passing was a great loss.   My wife (Karen Ingram) also graduated in 1970 and has fond memories of Peter.   Gord Gibbons   P.S.: I enjoy your banter with your friend Lynn. Interesting that she would go north and you would go south.

GordEric  Hi there I read your post this
morning to Wendy.
I never thought about the fact that Wendy went
south and I went North. When we we teenagers Wendy would go down to Wildwood
alot, but I never did I always went up North to the mountains Val-David Morin
Heights I love the spring fed lakes . Something about thoses mountains that I
find great comfort in . Nice to hear from you Gord !

HiGord, nice to hear from you.Did your wife have a younger sister?The name sounds familiar.I recall a very petite girl with the last name of Ingram,was it Diane Ingram?Lynn and I have been friends since the age of 3.I always loved the beach, and that's one of the reasons why I moved here, and now I hardly go, maybe 1/2 doz. times a yr.I can't believe it is almost 2yrs. since Pete passed on May 10th. Time just flys. Take care.

Lyn. You are going to have to stop talking about Val David. Every time you do, I get an ache in my heart. How I miss those days. I still have some of Val David and Goldon Lake on video.
