Proud to be Called a Newfie
Hi Ron and staff, Must keep in touch with all of the Downhome staff. Sure enjoy every Downhome and it reminds me of a saying, “Wine is better with age.” And I can start another saying: Every Downhome is better all the time. Regarding the story about being called a Newfie, well all I can say is every time I’m called a Newfie I couldn’t be more proud if I wanted to. It’s a great honour also to be called a Newfoundlander. I’ve been gone for 52 years and when someone says, “You’re from Newfoundland,” I would say, “And darn proud of it.” Also when I read about Amelia Earhart I was reminded we had our pictures taken beside her statue when at Riverhead, Harbour Grace. Also, talking about the King of them all, I’m referring to the Great One – not Wayne Gretzsky, but Corky Sly Conner – he’s on page 112. How sly can you get eh? Anyway all the best and long may your big jib draw. Submitted By: NULL
