Bill Cooper. Just to let you know, I too gave up drinking 24 years ago. Also gave up smoking 6 months ago. As most of us growing up in Verdun came from poor backgrounds, what else do the poor do but drink and smoke. Maybe somewhere along the road we decide enough is enough. Winston Allison

Would anyone know where Joan Lindsay is. I think she married Allen Scully. Also looking for Gus Taveralis, Vivian Whybro, Audrey Dawe. All Galt Ave. (between Wellington & Verdun Ave.) people in mid 40's. Sure would be great to hear about them
Woodland School 1959 to 1965
Looking for old classmates, early years. Kindergarten through grade 5 (Mrs Baldwin). Some names I remember - Susan & Judy Blagrave (twins), Judy Henwick, Clive Moody, Karen Bowker, Cynthia Poitras.
Lived on Osborne Avenue between Verdun Ave and Banantyne. Moved to Lasalle in 1965. Would be good to catch up.
