Memories

Submitted by: Downhome

Hello to all the Newfies,

I am proud to be one too. Although I have been away from my beloved Newfoundland, you just cannot forget it. I grew up in Change Islands, N.D Bay.

How did I get here? Well when the war came I joined the air force and served in Larchine, Que. where the men came before going overseas and those who returned came there also. It was there I met the man I eventually married.

When I was in uniform I was proud to have on the shoulder of the uniform the word Newfoundland.

I went down to the U.S.A on a weekend pass and met people who were surprised that we looked like them. They thought Newfoundlanders were Eskimos.

I went to Newfoundland with my husband and two children, they liked it very much. We lived in Dorval, Que. then.

Now my children are married and live in Ottawa & Toronto and I am living in a very nice seniors' residence. From my large window I can see lots of huge trees and a lake.

I have lots of good memories to keep my mind active.

God bless you all.   Submitted By: NULL
