Here is a photo of my Great Uncle Alex (Sander) Mackay, a brother to my Grandfather Colin. Their father John arrived from Scotland, Sutherland County, Cape Wrath at age 28. He landed in pictou and moved to PEI.
Alexander (Alex). His dates are 1876-1958.
He was married to Gertrude Houston (1893-1990) 
I'm not sure of the year this is, but they sang "The King" so it is pre 1952 brother Ernie was in it sinigng a solo "Bruce and The Spider" no it isn't Spiderman, it is Robert The Bruce.
Mother wrote in the names of the soloists.
Another of the great people of Parkdale was Dr. Higgins a veteranarian.
He had an office in his basement and was kind to a kid in need. there was not alot of money to go around back then to raise a family let alone healthcare for an animal. In a time when you could get a cat or dog for free people didn't spend money on sick anaimals. But to a kid the dog or cat may have been picked up for free but as a friend they were priceless.
Dr. higgins was very compasionate with a soft spot for a kid that needed needles for their pet or needed them spade.
He always seemed to know what a kid could afford and charge just what you had in your pocket.
This picture was taken in 1952, the house in the background is "Coles" and the three Parkdale Boys (The Mild Ones) on the army surplus 1942 Harley are
Jack Ferguson, Ernie McKay and Mack Macintyre
