years of his military career which took them across Canada as well as

Her passions included choir singing,
travelling most continents of the world with the highlight being
Tokyo, golf, playing scrabble, cross stitching, knitting, sowing as
well as the family cottage at Amherst Shore, NS. As a young, independent minded

Brother’s Hardware store truck on deliveries in Campbellton,
