Here's Sassy Rory
Dianne
Thanks Betty, she is a little character, loves to talk, lets us know what she wants....Dianne
Dianne, I agree that all three photos are very nice. I also like dogs, I have a monster, that not only says what she wants, but has very sneaky ways of getting what she wants also. I also have three cats, and a budgie, hence the reason for me having once created a discussion called ''For Pet Lovers Only''. m.p.u.
Hi M.P.U.;
I remember that discussion and I posted Sassy Rory's picture back then.
Here is one titled 'Les Girls' . It is my daughter with her dog Tawny and my dog Rory.
Over the years we've had all types of pets from scally ones, to feathered ones and furry ones. I'd love to have a cat but my husband is way too allergic to them. ....Dianne
Dianne, very nice. mpu

Mississagi River Valley Before the days of hard top roads, indeed, even before there were roads, the Mississagi River played an important role as a transportation route for both natives and Europeans. Since then the river has become unessential for transportation, but important as a source of hydroelectric power. Thus, the Mississagi River dominates the lives of those who inhabit its valley. The settlements in the Mississagi Valley are representative of the growth and (sometimes) demise of many Northern Ontario communities. Being rather remote, most of Northern Ontario wasn't settled until the later decades of the nineteenth century. The towns in the vicinity of the Mississagi River Valley, such as Blind River, Iron Bridge, Bruce Mines, and Thessalon were founded in the 1870's. This was in reaction to government promotion of Northern Ontario as the new frontier. Such promotion doesn't seem to have lured many from the Old Country, but many people did leave Southern Ontario, which was becoming increasingly crowded. The history of the Mississagi River Valley is dominated by the nature of the area. This is because the natural environment dictated the type of industry that could succeed in the region. And, as this section demonstrates, industry is an important factor in the history of the Mississagi River Valley settlements. Steve

from bobarchie
Jimmy, you sure brought
back some memories when you mentioned how cold it was installing the elevators
in the PVM and Place Victoria. I think I still shiver at the thought of it. Was
sorry to hear of the passing of Chuck, I had a lot of nice memories of him. On
my last trip up to Montreal I had the pleasure of a visit with Charlie Canning
and hopefully on my next trip I would enjoy seeing you.
Take Care Bob Archibald
Go HABS go
I was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica two years ago on a one day stop on a fabulous cruise, and the tour guide told us that in Jamaica you would be understood if you remembered only three words: Irie ( everything is great) Yaman ( yes to either man or woman) No.problem ( there is never a problem-if something is wrong there is a situation) what a great place to visit.

Took three replies
THE BEST THREE WORDS I CAN SHARE WITH YOU IS ------------------- "CHUCK'S STILL ALIVE." I was visiting with him in July, and just spoke to his wife Norma today, and he is still with us. He is frail, but still joking, and smiling and also just had his 65th birthday. Norma had over a hundred friends and family drop in to celebrate it with him . Chuck's doctors call's him his mircle patient. I use to live next door to the Chuck and Norma Canning, before I moved to Kelowna BC, so you can imagine the shock it was for me to read in VC written in April, that he had passed away, since I had been with him in July. I just want to share my three special words, and that is " HE'S THE BEST" ( Joyce Pedder)
Chuck Catto died in March 2006.
there was a subject about Nuns Island, i seem to have
lost it..was it one of yours..not sure how to get back
to it
john
Maggie. Please read #303 of the subject "Only three words", and you will understand why I wrote what I did. I felt it important to share the good news to those who know him. No one wants it written that they have gone , when they are being such a truper fighting to stay with us. Joyce
I can see how you could think they were talking about Chuck Canning there. Would be a shock.
I think it was Chuck Catto , Chuck Catto , Chuck Canning and I were very close friends,and I still am with Charlie Canning , I know and love the guy , we are elevator people , so sorry, must have been Chuck Catto , and yes he died in the spring, Jim Nairn , hang tough
Chuck Canning still around...that is the father is it not..did they ever live in the point
The father is gone, and it is the son we are talking about , and yes they lived on Wellington in the Point not far from Dominion Bridge . Jimmy
Frost forecast tonight
Did you know an Allan Taylor..or Herby Fizsimmins they hung around with Chuck Canning...( the father)
Hi, Everyone, I checked the previous threads before posting and didn't see these three words. Maybe they were in threads now deleted, and my apologies to the writer if they had been. These three words were taken from a poem written this weekend. Verdun: my hometown Happy Thanksgiving, Jack
