Made it to Multiply

I was a member of the MSN group, but had not been on for a long, long time.
Received the message about the move, but the link was missing.
Anyhow to make a long story short, i signed in using a new user ID and password.

I used to live on Gordon in between Verdun and Wellington, some of the neighborhood kids were Alice And Margaret Conant, Joey Hunt, George Elkin, Lise Aumais, Gaston Brousseau.

School Friends were Gordie Leonardo, Larry Leonardo, McCarthy, and Ron Leonardo, The Tougas Brothers, Larry Furlong, Dave Stoddard and many more that I just can't remember their names right off the bat.

I visit Montreal/Verdun a few times a year, My Mom is now living in a great senior residential home in Ville Emard, And last year My Brother and I (Ron) sold the family home that Old Grand paw built back in 1997.

I moved from Verdun in December of 1960 and Joined the Navy, Retired in 1980, and settled down in a warmer climate, a small city called Camarillo, about the same size as verdun, but a lot warmer. It located about 45 miles North of Los Angeles.

That's it for Now
Hope to visit the group more often than I used to

Bob Gaboury said...

George Elkin and I grew up on Gordon, also cruised around on motorcycles for a few years.
lost track of George about 1965 or so.
I have searched for him for several years, if you can get a number from him, I will give him a call.
