My parents grew up in the Point as I'm sure many others have in Verdun Connections. Some of the stories they had to tell made our lives in Verdun seem like a fairytale....DianeDiane Robertshttp://dr676third.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-60906427239838360672011-04-18T09:21:17.000-07:002011-04-18T09:21:17.000-07:00Ok here you go I just clicked on the very first on...Ok here you go I just clicked on the very first one (blue hi-lite) & it broguht me directly to the Hub pages. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Fathers-Legacy-Part-Three">http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Fathers-Legacy-Part-Three</a><br /> From there you should be able to figure out where to navigate from story to story.

Point St Charles (commonly called The Point) was the Hell's kitchen of Montreal. I played, cried, laughed and fought on the street corners, survival was an instinct and watching each others back important.<br /><br />I left home at 17 to find my way in the world, failure and success I had plenty of. I studied the Arts and loved to draw and paint. Took acting lessons and envied those on the stage under the bright lights. I hoped to some day become an actor, writer or painter.<br /><br />I married and had children, divorced stayed single and eventually partnered up with a wonderful woman. We both enjoy each others talents and diversity. I have taken up the pen and found my way to Hubpages, enjoying the many talented writes of fellow hubbers.<br /><br />I hope to contribute and find a place amongst you.The freedom of expression is important and to a very great extent we can practice it here.<br /><br />.....................................Cheers !!
