I was a member of the MSN group, but had not been on for a long, long time.
Received the message about the move, but the link was missing.
Anyhow to make a long story short, i signed in using a new user ID and password.
I used to live on Gordon in between Verdun and Wellington, some of the neighborhood kids were Alice And Margaret Conant, Joey Hunt, George Elkin, Lise Aumais, Gaston Brousseau.
School Friends were Gordie Leonardo, Larry Leonardo, McCarthy, and Ron Leonardo, The Tougas Brothers, Larry Furlong, Dave Stoddard and many more that I just can't remember their names right off the bat.
I visit Montreal/Verdun a few times a year, My Mom is now living in a great senior residential home in Ville Emard, And last year My Brother and I (Ron) sold the family home that Old Grand paw built back in 1997.
I moved from Verdun in December of 1960 and Joined the Navy, Retired in 1980, and settled down in a warmer climate, a small city called Camarillo, about the same size as verdun, but a lot warmer. It located about 45 miles North of Los Angeles.
That's it for Now
Hope to visit the group more often than I used to

THANKS for stopping by, I do my best to acknowledge when someone leaves a comment,you do not have to be a member here & everyone is welcome. Ps: This site is monitored but not actively posting on a regular basis. Mostly these are stories & some photos saved from a defunct site known as Verdun Connections which was on MSN Groups initially then on a social network called Multiply.

George Elkin and I grew up on Gordon, also cruised around on motorcycles for a few years.
