had the union jack on it.Mom was afraid to take it outside during the FLQ
crisis.

I guess she thought that we would get hurt or some
thing like that. Maybe she was right!

Hi Gloria, I sent a message when I first saw this, and I guess I did'nt do it correct, but I remember when Bill was working as a host on the Hovercraft for expo 67.

Just wondering if maybe your Mom was a Newfy (if not a Brit) My Dad thought the only flag was the Union Jack Glo
Hi Wendy Seems so long ago ay. Boy that Hoover Craft could fly it was neat. I would like to go in one again. Glo

Glo. When I lived in the Phillippines for 2 years, I use to take the Hovercraft from Cavite City, to Manila. That Hovercraft was probably 4 times as big as the one just pictured, and very modern It would take us across Manila Bay in a very short time, and so smooth. I think it cost the eqiuvalent of 50 Cents. Here I was in a third world country, and having some modern convienences. WOW...What a life!!!!!!

No. My mother was originally from Wales, and my dad from Ireland. But my mother was a complete Royalist. Loyalty.....that is a good thing. While I am loyal to the United States, my heart is still in Verdun!!!! Winston Allison

Hi those are some cool pics. I was working on the 26th floor of the building on Dorchester and Peel, I can't remember the name of the building ,but I watched that American pavillion burn.That was something to see.
Here is a picture of my family taken at Expo 67, thats 40 years ago already. Guy
Thanks Guy Great picture and I am sure good memories too. Glo
Hey, were you working at Canadian Universal Insurance? That's where I was when the US Pavillion burned. In the accounting Dept. 26th Floor of the CIBC building at Dorchester and Pell.
I guess if they can change Dorchester to Rene Levesque then I can change Peel to Pell, eh? LOL
"Burn Baby Burn" This May 20, 1976, photograph captures a fire at the former USA Pavilion ("Biosphere"). The fire would destroy the translucent acrylic bubble, but the steel latticework remained. All that's left. For those of us who visited Expo 67, the US pavilion designed by Buckminster Fuller was one of the highlights. Today, it's one of the few buildings remaining on the Expo 67 site on Île Ste Hélène. Most of the Expo 67 islands have been converted into parkland. A fire destroyed the shell, and so now the dome consists of just the frame. The building now houses an ecology museum, the Biosphère
i still call Dorchester..Dorchester and so do most of my friends...
