My mother swimming at Centre Island c. 1928. I have often wondered if one could still match the breakwater to the photo to see exactly where it was taken.

Keychain I was given after a tour through IBM in the mid 1960's.

Ann Fern was born January 26, 1896 so it’s possible that the picture was taken slightly later. She passed away in 1995 at the age of 99.

My Mother's medal for good attendance at school. Year or level is unknown but it would have been prior to 1930.

The first thing I noticed was the Henri Cartier-Bresson poster ... then the books.

Thank you Goldie. There was one aircraft in Toronto as a spoil of war that was moved to De Havilland Aircraft (Downsview) and was examined by them. After De Haviland and the military got through with it, the airframe was buried. I am (was) with the Canadian Aerospace Museum (formerly...

I stumbled upon this forum and thread by accident while looking for something else. I first feel I have to give a big thank you to Mustapha, Goldie, and crew for all the work that has been done. The photos and the descriptions brought back memories that had been pushed to the almost hidden...
