Hello Downhome People, The amazing photo by Mr. Hicks of the Cape Spear lighthouse [February 2023] took me back to 1954 when it was being built. After six weeks training to be a teacher at Prince of Wales College I was there to teach the children for four months. The short term suited me as I was going to the SJGH [St. John's Grace Hospital] school of nursing in 1955. I lived with the Cantwell family and had my classroom in the old lighthouse. It was a great four months but I think the pupils taught the teacher. I went up the long staircase to see the big light turned on in the evening and I heard the foghorn every night. I saw the wild storms on the Atlantic, the first morning sun, and loved it all. I wonder what Mr. Hicks saw at the new Cape Spear. Also where are the girls of the class of '58 at the General. Love my Downhome every month. It takes me back home every time. Cheers to all, Rosemarie (Dalton) Sittler Waterloo, ON   Submitted By: NULL
