The Generation Hat II
I was home for a holiday the summer, and decided to visit Petty Harbour, as my dad grew up there; his name was John Bishop, a First World War Hero.
I went to a store named Herbie's Old Shop Crafts, and I asked Marguerite Weir if she knew my dad. She said, "Oh, yes; in fact, I have his grandfather's top hat upon the shelf." So I thought, This is five generations for the hat. I remember my grandfather wearing it, so I had my granddaughter Hollie Evans' (of Lucknow, ON) picture taken with the hat. I thought you might be interested. I hardly ever see Petty Harbour mentioned; it's a beautiful village.
I really enjoy your book, and I pass it around to everyone who wants to see it.
My daughter Paulette lives in Paradise and she gives it to me every Mother's Day. God love her.
I live in a small town called Lucknow, Ontario, and have to go home once or twice a year. I love the people.
