Alma 1962 - very young here, 19 years old. Likely taken in Fredericton, New Brunswick, at some point around this time she had moved there with one or two sisters to share an apt and get a job.

248 Main St - most of the visitors to the site will recognize the house, but to those who might not know, this is where Alma lived the last few years of her life. The teeming metropolis of Blackville is not far at all from Pineville, where she was born.

This is how the house looks much of the time (Winter of 2008/2009). Many people have asked why I left the South for the snow in NB. My answer is that Alma followed me all around the World, so the least I could do is follow her when she wanted to come back

The Old School House, Pineville, NB - this is where Alma allegedly walked uphill 10 miles both ways through 20 feet of snow to go to school... pic taken by me in 2010 when Kathryn and i went up to visit. it has not been used as a school in many years.

Alma & The Cat Of Unknown Name...... probably taken in St. John, Newfoundland early 1967, but it could possibly have been taken in Montreal, too. I was born in Montreal in June '66, Dan was born in St. John a year later.

Classic Christmas Foolishness - During the 80's, some of the relatives would send the same old shoes to various others for a Xmas gag.... Mom got them this year, along with a book about outhouses! I'm guessing mid 80's here.
