Is there anyone out there who use to go to the Legion dances on Verdun avenue on Friday nights in the 60's? I can't remember who put them on but they were great.

Yes I remember going to the Legion dances. I hug around with Arlene Purvis and Wendy Mills. Don't have any idea who put them on....but we sure did have a good time.
Hey Winterhater. I don't remember the Friday dances at the Verdun Legion. But I do remember the New Year's Eve dances. If I recall, it was $20.00 a couple, with all you could drink and after midnight you also got a St. Hubert BBQ chicken dinner. Those were my drinking days and it was the least expensive dance in town. Those were some great times. Winston Allison.

Hi,
I remember going to quite a few of them. Those and
Dawsons were on a Friday night and the 'Y' on Lasalle
Blvd. were on a Saturday night. The Legion dances, on
Verdun Ave., did at times get a bit rough I recall.
One Friday night there someone was actually going
through the hall cutting people's hands with a razor
blade. I remember another night when a battle royale
fist fight took place outside. I recall Bruce Kornack
and John Campbell from Crawford Park being involved.
This was about '64 or '65.
I belonged to a club at the 'Y' called Fillipiti. Does
anyone else recall those 'Y' clubs?

Bim, Louise Gibson from Allard is here in Toronto. Been in contact with her. Went to Riverview with her. A good friend.

Hi Gerry, Read your message about Louise Gibson. Would she be a relative of Susie Gibson?
Winterhater, I know that she had a few sisters, I'll find out for you.

Hey Gerry, Were you able to find out if Louise Gibson is related to Susie and if she is, where Susie is living now? Would appreciate hearing from you. K. Neil
