Rideout, Alexander “Sandy” – Cormack
This is a photo sent to me by my great aunt, Francis Rideout of Foxtrap. This is an enlistment photo of my grandfather, Alexander "Sandy" Rideout (sitting center). I am told that he lied about his age to get into the Royal Merchant Navy. He was living in the Foxtrap/Conception Bay area at the time. All of the other men are unknown to me. After the war, he moved to Cormack where he and his wife, Clara, had 9 children and owned Rideout's Farm, which he tended until his retirement. In the photo, you might notice his deep eyes and dark hair. These were features that defined his person all his life. He passed away in 1996. Submitted By: Chad Rideout
