Well, I finally got my computer back, it was sick. My mom was the one who told me when we were teenagers how we were related, I guess she knew your parents. My grandmother was Bea Murphy, who was my Dad's mom. I have a zillion cousins all over Pt. St. Charles and Verdun. You mentioned my cousin Blair, we were very close to his family growing up and we took his passing very hard. Gail and I loved to tag behind him, remember we were 3 yrs younger and probably a pain. But he always protected us. My Aunt lives in Ville LaSalle with Gail, her husband and kids. They were the ones I always hung with and showed me the ropes around Verdun when I moved there from St. Hubert (where I grew up on Cornwall ST). It was through Blair and his buddies I met my first "Hell's Angel", at his club house. My older brother Billy and his family (wife and 3 boys) live on Monte St. Hubert, my sister Marian Murphy Gilmore,her husband and 3 boys live on Robinson St. When I think of home, it is St.Hubert and then Verdun. You had to have known my ex husband Alan Brewis, we hung around with Danny Manning who is now an English teacher in Pensylvania. He has a 4 year old daughter named Elizabeth. With the crap we did as teenagers I was surprised he was still alive, let alone an English teacher!!! his email address is dmanning012@hotmail.com
Ian Davison and Brian McCullum were two we hung around with too. I looked your wife up in the '74 year book. Loved the burb for you. Nice to see that some were with their true loves. Thought I'd be married forever but learned the hard way that marriage vows were not etched in stone. I am on the hockey team in the '74 yearbook and there is my class photo too.
