1951 -52


Just recieved this picture from Bob Macinnis


The third pic was taken in front of Parkdale School, probably around 1951 or
52, would be my guess.

Here's my guess as to who the people in the picture are. Keep in mind, I'm
probably wrong about several names.

Back row, l>r, Peter Coffin, Sterling Carr, Carlyle Gaudet, Heston Mackay,
Sterling Gregory ,Derrick Hickox, Gary Thompson.

Middle row, l>r, Olga Shaw, Carol Gallant, Carol Hogan, Patsy Oatway, Viola
MacKay, Marilyn Rice, Carol MacLean, Lorraine Galant

Front row, l>r, Dougie MacEwen, Myrna Clay, Marilyn Burns, Shirley Doirion, Brenda
Coles, Gail Stewert, Alberta Murphy, and Bob McInnis.
