The Tickle Pond Cove incident
This refers to an article in your Feb 2016 publication about the incident of the horse (Kitty) going through the ice, and her rescue at Tickle Cove Pond.<br /> <br /> In 1954 I was the relief agent/telegrapher in the Railway station at Princeton. I boarded with a family named Prince. The senior male in that family was Alf. I believe he was 81 or 82 then. He hauled the mail by horse and cart or sleigh from there to Kings Cove for years. His son John came home from Lake Louise and purchased a 1950 Fargo pick up and took over where his father left off. He told me many, many stories including reference to the incident at Tickle Cove Pond. He had passed by the spot hundreds of times and related it as if he had been there.<br /> <br /> Incidentally he had a grandson John, whom I babysat many times and who is still a fairly renowned singer in Canada. Maybe my claim to fame. Submitted By: NULL
