Ah, as a matter-of-fact, a friend of mine was telling me- and I go to the synagogue every morning, and ah there 's a chap there that comes every Sunday, and we were sitting and talking to- he 's got three sons, ah that are in England. They were born and brought up in England.

It 's totally different. It 's tot-- we were talk-- isn 't that funny, we were talking about it yesterday. One of the chaps that helped David move.

Our youngest daughter married a chap whose anc-- his father is uh, Dutch and his mother was born in Mexico, but she 's part English and part Mexican. So, our grandkids are a real mixture.

But the next day he- no I-guess he came up and somehow he was sitting on the chesterfield and somehow money dropped out of his pocket back underneath this chesterfield cushion and I thought, "Gee, I rather like that chap." You-know, it was- yeah. So I phoned him and I said, "Jack, you left a nickel here and, you-know, I just wanted to tell you." And he said "Oh, I'll come up after it."

But Bill was such a- an intelligent person that- that his chief thought "Well if they're friends of Bill's, why I don't need- I'm not going to ah require any- anything further to back their acquisition to his- his department." And so that's where we went and the middle chap there was the chief of that department-

And ah, the other was the fact that um, in my teenage years, you usually have a boyfriend right? So ah, I happen to have met this chap. He wasn't a student at that time. I just don't recall how I met him.

And ah, they look at it at such an opportunity and with such eagerness where, you-know, I wonder about that sometimes. "How could they?" You-know, thinking that they're never going to come home, in some cases. But ah, the one chap's name was- was Freeman, that I do remember that had written back and forth to Sean Levine.

But I did remember seeing these letters form men, younger men who was part of this (inc) had gone overseas for the first world war, and Sean Levine just happened to be the chap that they'd wrote letter back home to. And he corresponded with them obviously. And I still have these letters. I shared it with um, Ruby, what was her last name? She lived just back road here.

But that- those buildings eventually burned down. And we felt at the time, there was a young chap that had been working for dad, and he wasn't too happy about life, and they sort of feel that perhaps he took a little bit of his spite out on dad by starting the fires...

Well, I wasn't that excited about seeing him in the office. "What the heck does he want anyway?" Anyway, he advised me not to see this chap anymore, as he was older than I was and he didn't felt (inc) feel that he was good company for me. Well you know when somebody tells you things like that, you're so determined to go the way you're not supposed to go.

I found- I've located cousins down there. I have a cousin, a very interesting chap who I keep in touch with. In fact I'm doing a lot of research now and a lot of genealogy ah- scans of old documents and letters because another branch of the family the name was l'Amoureaux, that's a French name and ah- originally these people were from the Channel-Islands and I'm just trying to get everything straight now in my mind.

I've got some old pictures of that and in fact I met a chap from Venezuela where we lived at down at the pier, ah, and ah told him I had some pictures, he was very interested to see them so I've got to dig them out when I get everything unpacked here.

There's some good- there's a good planning company in town here as-well and of-course the one that the chap that did the Eaton-Centre, he ah- he's also- he's an architect as well as a planner.

We had it there- we had it there and we sold it to Bobby-Vallure, and eventually- it just recently I think it was in the paper, this chap ah- oh it was Tim-Jensen- we rented it out to him for a while and then sold it eventually to Bobby- to Bobby-Vallure.

Yes, eventually he did, yeah. A few people 'round here went there too, and, ah, met a good friend of mine there was a chap by the name of James ah- um- Walter- Walter-A-M-McIntyer- Walter-A-S- his initials were W-A-S, he didn't use W-A-S.

I looked at it- I looked at the initials and the last name. I knew the man. A chap I went to school with.

Interviewer: Well there are quite a few names and quite a few years that have gone by in-between to say the least. So the fam-- I'm sorry. Speaker: Um- A most interesting chap.

So the guys said ah "You got a wheel-barrel, I'll wheel you over." And so, we did. And ah (laughs) we got ah over there and they- the other chap wasn't too happy about us being there. So we left and we come home.

My girlfriend and I were trying to hitch-hike home from Timmins and ah this car drove by and I said "Uh-oh, he'll be back." I recognized the chap. He ah- sure enough he rounded the block and Annie and I got in the back seat. And I said, "I'm going to marry that guy, the one who's sitting in front of me."

Yeah. Well that was the summer I had the job in a drug store. And they ah there was a chap came in- kept coming in, and I knew he had a crush on me and I couldn't stand him.
