I worked with the Iron Ore Company of Canada from 1947-1954. IOC began in 1946. The summer of '47, only 50 people worked at Knob Lake (now Shefferville). In 1948, IOC shares were being sold for 25¢ each, and now I'm kicking myself for not buying any!

In this photo are our sleeping quarters - though we sometimes slept in canvas tents.
