I want to say thank you. I've enjoyed Downhome for the last 10 years. I was born in St. John's in 1956 but only lived there a couple of years. My father was in the US air force. I have been back many times and still have family on "the Rock."<br /> <br /> In 1968 the family spent the summer. One afternoon "Daddy Bruce" asked me to go for a ride. Any time I could be alone with my grandfather, I jumped at the chance.<br /> <br /> Well, we ended up at a cemetery. He got tools out of the truck and went to work on a piece of marble. I watched in amazement how just a hammer and a chisel in his hands, he turned that marble into a headstone for one of the graves.<br /> <br /> Well when my Nov 2017 issue of Downhome arrived I was just thumbing through as I usually do, I came upon the article "He left his mark." I saw the name Frederick Chislett. I immediately phoned my mother and asked who this was. She told me that Frederick was her grandfather and my great grandfather. You see my Daddy Bruce was the oldest son of Frederick and Irene Chislett, Bruce Chislett. He too worked on many tombstones. So some of the tombstones with the name Chislett at the base may have been done by Bruce Chislett.<br /> <br /> Thank you for the article. I learned a little more of my family history. I really enjoy Downhome and love to visit St. John's. The smell of really fresh air when you walk out of the airport is etched in my mind.<br /> <br /> Thank you again<br /> John C.
