ReplyDeleteKaren. Welcome aboard. I think you will find many people on here that you might know. If there is someone that you might be looking for, or wondering about. Just ask if anyone on here knows anything about them. All of us on here are really willing to help. Thanks. Winston (835 3rd Avenue, Verdun) Allison Vancouver, Washington

Hi Karen, I remember when you and Tina and "Tiny" (?) Clarke were buddies. Ken M
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I remember U as a little kid. I usta hang around with your brother Allan and Butch Gandey when we were very young. I usta live at 1139 Woodland across from that burned out haunted house that is now apts. I also remember when your family lived on Egan. My Mom just left Woodland last year, but when I went to visit I'd see Allan all the time as well as your Mother and Mrs. Gandey (Cliffords mother).
ReplyDeleteI went to see your addy to jog my memory, yes I use to chat with you mom when I saw her, she told me that she was moving...well Alan moved to Ontario a few years back, after his wife passed away, Butch passed away about 10 years now, and my aunt Bea Gandey passed away 6 years ago.

Hi all - How can I access the 58 or 59 VHS yearbooks? Are they online too? What a concept! Mine went missing in the move from Montreal to Calgary, as far as I can determine. Years ago. Miss it.
ReplyDeleteCDSALMELA We have the VHS yearbooks from 1935 to 1980 at the SHGV. If you giive me your name I can make a copy of your photo and post it on my return. I will probably be in Verdun this Saturday. Guy
ReplyDeleteWilliam A Cooper. 1955 to 1957.
ReplyDeleteAlso my cousin Alan Hazeldon.
Is it possible to purchase a copy of an entire year book?
Bill
Hi Guy - Sorry I wasn't more clear. I am Carol Salmela, and graduated from VHS in 1959 (I think!). We lived on Richard Avenue, half a block from the boardwalk. Good times! Am now in Vancouver, Land of Liquid Sunshine. It is so neat to see Verdun again. I went back about four years ago and walked from VHS to where I used to live. Talk about flashbacks! Are the yearbooks available online? Carol
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol, Good to see you here. Are you related to a John Salmela? Jack
ReplyDeleteCarol, Here is the photo from the 1959 yearbook. Great looking gal. More to come. I doubt that you can get the yearbook. We are fortunate to have these yearbooks in our Archives. Guy
ReplyDeleteHi Guy, There is a picture of Carol Reid on the page that you sent from the VHS yearbook. She is my first cousin. l also had other cousins that went to VHS.....Richard Reid and Diane Reid.......They all lived in Crawford Park. Do you know them? Lorna Reid
ReplyDeleteWow! Some familiar faces on that page. I remember you Carol. You were friends with Karen Kemball and Sandra from Osbourne Ave. were you not? Did you know Hildegarde McKeefrey as well? I still keep in touch with K and H. This brings back so many memories ... Mr. Grant (creeped me out) who loved to carry " the strap" around. Such a charmer! Dale
ReplyDeleteCarol, Here are more photos from the 1959 VHS yearbook.Also shown are photos of J. Salmela who is no doubt related to you due to the unusual family name. Guy
ReplyDeleteBill, Here are your photos from the 1957 yearbook. I recall having posted photos of you previously, reemember. As for Alan Hazeldon, I will check the 1955 - 56 yearbooks next saturday and I will get back to you. Guy
ReplyDeleteSorry to bud into the conversation...Oh my gosh.... I can't believe this... You remember Karen, Tiny and myself... wow.... I can't remember your face.. If you have a picture of you from before and now would be great... I will write again as soon as I can scan some old pictures and I will send them to you... Where do you know us from?
ReplyDeleteHello Tina ,glad you made it onboard,.......( I sent you an email) Have some fun on here, and get some of those pictures out,and share 'em here....................hope you don't have any from days of passing a 'mickey ' around..................hahahahahahaha HF&RV
ReplyDeleteGuy, Alan Hazeldon was in VHS in 1950 +or-
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Bill
dale hi, hildegarde was in my class in high school, a fine lady, tell her i send my best, did she know about carol landry,s passing, in june? and who else? well seasons best, im heading to bahamas for december, lots of friends there, just an hour from here in fl. carolyn bennett
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, Just from around, I guess. I always thought you three were a pretty cool group. Anyway I am mainly, it seems, remembered as having hung around with Sterling for a few years and I was also a regular at The Monument. I was also a friend of your brother, Micky. I would have to dig around a bit for some old pictures, but I should have some somewhere. Feel free to email me. Ken M
ReplyDeleteHey KenCM3 how are you. It sure brings back old memories of the Monument when you mentioned Micky C. We had a lot of laughs sitting around there. I hope more people with pictures of the old croud show up. It was nice to see the ones that were posted of Jay, Sterling, Art, the pit. Just great to see. It would have been something to see today if one of us would have taken a camera along. Danny
ReplyDeleteThat would be great DannyB (how you doing Btw?) ,.... I can Remember having one of those Kodak Instamatics,......but I have no idea what ever happened to any photos taken with it,.later when I had a little better camera I took pictures up on the boardwalk of a whole gang of us,..but the camera as well as any film ,seems to have disappeared too.////// I have a couple still around ,but it's more from very early 1970?? Would be nice to find someone with a whack of photo's from say 68 and on........ Sooner or later more will surface,.....but those ones posted a few weeks ago were certainly prompts for the old memory banks................ hf&rv
ReplyDeleteHi Les, All is well here. I still try to read as many posts as possible. Being the only person able to do the day to day work in the house takes most of my time. And as you know teenage boys only want to play sports and be with their girlfriends so my son's is never here, I only get to here his voice when he needs something. We need more of those 60's pictures so as to help us remember them. I think most of us have very foggy but colorful memories of the 60's. Take care, Danny
ReplyDeleteHi Les I'm sorry but I never got the email.... Maybe it went to my junk mail as it didn't recognize the sender maybe.... Do you think you can send it again? Thanks man
ReplyDeleteYes Micky Cloutier was my brother and I sure do miss him... did you know Arlene? She apparently was looking for me. I emailed her but have not heard anything yet... I think she has lots of picures... do you have a picture of yourself?
ReplyDeleteHi Danny, do you remember me at all? I was Micky's sister Tina or maybe then known as Christianne....
ReplyDeleteHey Carolyn, I'll pass along your message to Hildegarde. She lives in Belfast now. I may go visit her next spring now that the bullets have stopped flying! I'll give her the message about Carol Landry too. Enjoy that warm weather in the Bahamas. It's very cold and very white in Ontario. Off to NZ for the winter where it's summer. Nice to finally find someone who knows someone I know. I love this site. Dale Barwick Moffat Ave.
ReplyDeleteI'm John's sister.
ReplyDeleteGood evening, Carol, I don't know if your brother will remember me, but please say hello for me. What's he doing now? Does he know about this site? Regards, Jack
