ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon I had my computer guy (my son) edit some files and some programs. What can I say he is very good at what he does...sometimes a little too good. I had two Verdun groups one on Yahoo and one here he tossed the wrong one. But I am back now and seem to have found a long lost friend..Very cool.

ReplyDeleteHi there Ralph. Yes it has been a very long time. I couldn't believe it when Ginny told me she was speaking with you. When you get back from your X-Country trip, we can talk. Sharon: No I didn't realize I had made that much of an impression at all. Bim: Sorry, you're name doesn't ring a bell. The only name that comes to my mind is Johnny Gallagher. He was the only trouble maker that I can recall that lived near Stalkers.
ReplyDeleteHI LORRAINE THATS OK BUT LIKE I SAID I KNEW YER BROTHER KENNY.I LIVED AT 5629 VERDUN AVE NEXT TO STALKERS.MY OTHER NEIGHBOURS WERE THE KUBIAKS.THE OLD FIRE HOUSE WAS ON THE CORNER WHICH BECAME THE CIVIL PROTECTION PEOPLE AND NOW CONDOS.ANYWAY WELCOME TO VERDUN CONNECTIONS ENJOY. BIM

ReplyDeleteHey Ralph...How about starting with an e-mail?
ReplyDeleteOk your on I sent you one . This should be fun .
ReplyDeleteHi Lorraine;
ReplyDeleteI don`t think we knew each other at VHS. I graduated in 1972. I remember Kenny as being one of my best friends (although I seem to remember from Woodland School, not VHS) If you have a chance can you ask Kenny if he remembers Ralph (....row, row, your boat...) Piercey.
Thanks, Ralph.

ReplyDeleteHey Bim,
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the explosion at the house accross the street from the fire station? My brother Bill worked for Bell and was in the house, pulling a woman out before the firemen could put on their boots!
hey al are u talking about the big fire on osborne in the 700 addresses that i rememeber bim
ReplyDeleteHi Bim,
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, it was a natural gas explosion. I believe the property was on Verdun Ave right accross the street from the fire station. My brother was at the traffic light at Woodland, heading west and saw the front of the building blow out onto Verdun Ave. Caught the firefighters by total surprise.
Hello everyone 😊
ReplyDeleteAre there any pictures of the old civil protection building from before it turned into condos? Would love to see some 😊
