The old Hiawatha Lodge would be the venue and the place I met the love of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:742\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Faye-Teen-Ager-Enhanced-Colorized.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of a teenager.\" class=\"wp-image-11512 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img data-opt-id=974566361  decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:742\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Faye-Teen-Ager-Enhanced-Colorized.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of a teenager.\" class=\"wp-image-11512 lazyload\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening began with a meal. The meal began with speeches and toasts. Gordon gave a toast, I don&#8217;t remember who to. This toast really impressed me. What impressed me, was his confidence, his articulation and I must say his handsome face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> At the end of the dinner, Gordon asked me to dance. I was thrilled, as you can image. I responded with a no, thank you. My excuse was that I did not like Country Music. this was untrue. That&#8217;s what your nerves will do to you. I was nervous as he was in university and I was a high school student. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am sure he will not ask me to dance again. Halleluiah, he did ask me to dance again. This time I said yes. We danced the rest of the evening and he took me home a bit late according to my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day Gordon invited me to join him for a day at Shinwaugh Residential School to play base ball against the residents. We had a great time playing baseball and winning the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had a good time and I wanted him to ask me out again. he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The next date was initiated by me. I wanted to take him to a school dance. This meant that I had to call him. My friends and I decided I should call him. Dialing his number at the rectory where he lived, with his parents took several attempts, before I let my finger go and the phone rang. I was nervous. I was sure he would not want to go. Why would he want to attend a high school dance? Much to my relief, Gordon answered the phone and he accepted my invitation, much to my delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That acceptance resulted in our dating throughout the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW THE SUMMER CEMEMTED OUR FUTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summer fun included movies, meals and visits at my house. We even got to go to Whitefish Falls to an Anglican camp together. Spending a lot of time traveling to the camp and taking part in all the activities I got to know Gordon very well. I liked what I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My mother thought a lot of Gordon. He was often a guest at our house. His parents were summering at their cottage in Bracebridge. I did get to visit them one long weekend there. Gordon&#8217;s father thought Gordon was stealing from the cradle. He thought I was 11 years old. I must admit I was very young looking for an 18 year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One special date was at his house. He made me a special invitation, to a dinner at his house. He cooked the meal all by himself. The meal was a chinese meal of Chop Suey. I was impressed by the invitation and the meal. How special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every young person needs a chaperone right? Gordon and I had such a thing in the form of my eight year old sister Sandra and our dog Bogey. Sandra and Bogey always wanted to go with us on our dates, and sometimes they did. if we were going to the camp it was hard to leave without them.. How could we leave those 4 big eyes pleading, without saying a word, to take them along?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer is ending.  Gordon will be  returning to the University of Manitoba. The University of Manitoba is in Winnipeg Manitoba. Gordon has to complete 3 years, of architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was leaving to enter my first year of a three year nursing diploma programme. I would be entering The Greater Niagara General Hospital School of Nursing in Niagara Falls. Gordon would be able to come home for 3 months every summer, to work and play. I would only have one week off a year to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon came home for those 3 summers that I could not. Sandra and Bogey continued to want to be with him. Gordon would take the children with him to camp. He was doing some renovations. They were a big help, I am sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came home, for a one week visit. I found that our dates would include a girl and a dog on a lot of our dates. They would be sitting on the front steps watching us get into the car to go to the camp or any other place we might be inclined to include them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><em>Gordon: My story about how we met<\/em><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with a white shirt sitting in the sand with a pipe in his mouth.\" class=\"wp-image-11511 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img data-opt-id=315202741  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1496\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with a white shirt sitting in the sand with a pipe in his mouth.\" class=\"wp-image-11511 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1496w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:300\/h:205\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:768\/h:526\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1536\/h:1051\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:500\/h:342\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:800\/h:548\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1280\/h:876\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1578\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1578\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a member of St. John&#8217;s AYPA (Anglican Young Peoples Association). As a member I was invited to a &#8220;rally.&#8221; The rally was held at the old Hiawatha Lodge. I bet, I was a speaker at same, but about what I have no recollection. A dance followed and I remember the girl with the most beautiful legs. We danced, and as I remember, she was overwhelmed by my abilities on the dance floor. I was equally inept no matter the dance. I believe I drove her home after the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-2b9ee384770820ad6be06087586ede07 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I remember the girl with the most beautiful legs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A week or so later, Faye called and invited me to a girls invite dance at the YMCA on Spring St. and rest is history.

I would only have one week in the summer off, to be in Sault Ste. Marie. Gordon had the whole summer off and worked in Sault Ste Marie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One summer Gordon visited me in Niagara Falls for one weekend. He actually drove all the way to Niagara from Winnipeg in his old Volkswagen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We spent some time together again, as I was able to fly from Niagara to Winnipeg one winter. I was surprised my parents let me do so. Gordon paid for the trip. We were happy to have these special times together to cement our feelings for each other.

The hum of the wheels and the sway of the train rock you to sleep. We were fortunate to have very comfortable sleeping accommodations as pictured below. Our room was similar to this photograph.

It was the Hotel L&#8217;Elysee.The hotel was situated in Old Montreal along the St. Lawrence River. There was a street called Promenade du Vieux-Port that followed the river. The hotel was on this street.It was a stone building with Paved steps leading to a wooden entrance door.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The staff met us on our arrival at the hotel. Hello, Mr. and Mrs Smedley, welcome. This was a new way of being greeted, to us. A Bell Boy took us up a large wooden stairway to the honeymoon suite. The suite was a lovely, cozy room, but a surprise. I wondered how they knew we were newly weds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Bell Boy left, Gordon and I took sometime luxuriating in the suite. Every thing was so warm and inviting. Hunger eventually, overcame our desire to remain relaxing.It was dinner time. We reluctantly left the comfort of our room and slowly made our way to the dining room. We were looking forward to a taste of french cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dining room staff greeted us and ushered us to our table. The room was was a cozy intimate atmosphere. The tables were covered with white table clothes and candles gave off a bit of light. Keeping the cozy atmospher.There was a world charm to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The meal was to start with a glass of red wine. A drink a lot of people enjoy. I did not. Alcohol was a drink I had never wanted. I did not drink alcohol, as I never wanted to loose control. The taste of the wine did not change my resolve, not to drink alcohol. I decided it was not something I wanted to have more of. Our meal consisted of several very different courses all of them left us wanting more. This delightful meal was a wedding gift from a client of Gordon&#8217;s, Jim Rudack and his wife. Gordon designed their house on Florwin Drive, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day we took a walk along the promenade.  We joined many people who had the same plan. They were out enjoying the day and the view, as we were. As a bus was picking us up, in the afternoon, our site seeing was short. The bus was to take us to Quebec City, where we would be boarding a ship, to take us to England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">destination quebec city <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quebec City being one of the oldest cities in Canada we were happy to have time to explore it&#8217;s quaint features. The ship we were to board was, the MS ITALIA an Ocean Liner. The ship was taking us to Southampton, England. At Southampton, we would leave the ship. We would then fly to London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some views of Quebec city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Built by Blohm &amp; Voss, Hamburg (engines by Burmeister &amp; Wain, Copenhagen), she was a 21,532 gross ton motorship, length overall 609.2ft x beam 78.2ft, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 17 knots. There was passenger accommodation for 115-1st, 490-2nd and 970-3rd class. Launched on 17\/3\/1928, she sailed from Gothenburg on her maiden voyage to New York on 24\/11\/1928. In April 1932 she was refitted to carry 1st, tourist and 3rd class passengers and on 5\/10\/1939 commenced her last Gothenburg &#8211; New York voyage. Subsequently she was used until December 1941 on New York &#8211; West Indies cruises. She was bought by the US government on 13\/12\/1941, renamed &#8220;John Ericsson&#8221; and served as a US troopship. On 7\/5\/1946 she was chartered by United States Line and commenced New York &#8211; Southampton sailings. In February 1947 she commenced her eighth and last crossing from Southampton to Havre, Cobh and New York and on 7\/3\/1947 was damaged by fire in New York and repurchased by Swedish American Line. Sailed from New York for Genoa on 21\/11\/1947 and was refitted and acquired by Home Lines of Panama and renamed &#8220;Italia&#8221;. After refit, she was 16,777 gross tons and with accommodation for 226-1st, 296-cabin and 800-tourist class passengers. On 8\/4\/1948 she commenced her first voyage from Genoa to South America, and on 12\/6\/1949 started her first Genoa &#8211; Naples &#8211; Lisbon &#8211; New York voyage. In 1952 she was altered to carry 213-1st and 1,106-tourist class and on 14\/3\/1952 started her first New York &#8211; Hamburg crossing. On 29\/3\/1952 she started sailings between Hamburg, Southampton, Halifax and New York and in 1958 was altered to carry 140-1st and 1,150-tourist class. She started her first Cuxhaven &#8211; Zeebrugge &#8211; Havre &#8211; Southampton &#8211; Quebec voyage on 23\/4\/1958 and her first Cuxhaven &#8211; Havre &#8211; Southampton &#8211; Quebec &#8211; Montreal voyage on 23\/5\/1958.

The seas were rough and the winds were strong, we attended some events.. I remember attending a movie which proved to be quite eventful. The seats where the movie was held were not fastened to the floor. This lack of anchorage resulted in the movie watchers sliding in all directions. Sometimes all were moving to the right or to the left. Sometimes we were moving forward or backwards. Quite a hilarious time. This frantic movement increased my severe seasickness. I was aware of being sick in the middle of the night.  The St. Lawrence River, had met the ocean. the seasickness happened. This discomfort happened the third day of our twelve day trip. The seasickness caused me to loose all taste or desire for food. I even tried to see the ships doctor.

DID WE REALLY NEED ONE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, we did, need a hotel reservation in London. There was a Cat Show in town for this very weekend. No rooms available. What a shock. What do we do now? The thought that a big city like London would have all kinds of hotels was wrong. All rooms were booked up. One kind gentleman found us a <strong><em>room<\/em><\/strong> just for the night. It was decided that we only needed one night, fortunately, as the show ended the next day. Our hope was that this hotel was only needed for one night and was <strong><em>decent<\/em><\/strong>. We booked a room at the Regent Palace Hotel for the next day to be sure we had a good place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How bad could one night, in a not so decent hotel be?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took a taxi to this questionable hotel. The man at the desk at the hotel gave us our key and room number and we proceeded to our room. A very old rickety elevator shook us all the way up to the floor our room was on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening the door convinced us that we would not choose this hotel again. or stay another night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How would you like to stay at this hotel? Here are the things I remember about it. Upon opening the door I immediately noticed the cigarette buts and ashes in the sink. There was dust everywhere and a nasty smell, which, caused us to sleep with our bed pulled to an open window. Not a pleasant experience. Needless to say, we paid our bill and left and went to the Regent Palace close to Picadilly Circus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color

The rather cell-like singles were very narrow, just wide enough to contain the bed and room to use the wash basin. Beyond the bed there was a chair and small table, a closet and the window. Even the inner rooms had natural light as they opened onto the central court, whose triangular shape prevented direct overlook. The double and twin rooms were much wider with more furniture. There were shared bathrooms and toilets in each passageway. A bell in each bedroom summoned a floor maid who would then draw a bath, supply hot towels and escort the resident to the bathroom and, after use, clean it..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TRAFALGAR SQUARE <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ANOTHER MUST SEE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

This greeting made us feel at ease. We were very tired from all our traveling. It was such a long trip. The trip so far included sailing the Atlantic Ocean to Southampton, flying to London England, and flying to Malaga, Spain. We rode a bus to the Torremolinos&#8217; bus terminal. Our final ride was by taxi to the Los Mercedes Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We felt pampered immediately by the way the staff welcomed us. The uniqueness of our room decor and the view of the ocean from our balcony was very much to our liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The food never ceased to amaze me. The food was colourful, beautifully arranged on the plate and tasty. Some of the dishes included tastes foreign to me. These meals are often dreamt about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The dining room waiters were extremely skilled at their job. Seating, handing a menu, taking an order and serving people they exhibited these skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that peeling an orange is a skill? The waiters at Los Mercedes had that skill. The waiters only used one sharp knife and one quick movement of their wrist and the orange was peeled and arranged artistically on your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We enjoyed visiting the Los Mercedes Hotel bar after our outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bartenders were very friendly. The bartenders, made non-alcoholic, delicious, drinks for me. These drinks were really refreshing after our day of adventure. They always made a different tasting drink for me. They varied the types of tropical fruit or juice used. Some of these flavours were new to me. They offered this colourful drink to me with such elegance. How could I not enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember the first night we went up to our room after supper we got such a surprise. The surprise was on the bed. It was my nightgown. The gown was arranged like a flower with flowers on it and small chocolates. The room smelled of Jasmine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c69a7c99195cce8e5ba1c6ace2e45339 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><em>Every night there was entertainment<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One night a violin player played for us. We did manage to keep this brochure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A group of Flamingo Dancers entertained us another night. They did not disappoint us. The men were as straight and stiff as one would expect to be for this dance style. The women&#8217;s costumes were colourful and dramatic.  The women were as flamboyant in their dance movements as were their costumes. Their intricate movements included an ability to use the fullness of their skirts to accent their movements. The male&#8217;s costumes were as colourful but slick. Posture changes and slow dramatic movements were the skills used by the male dancers. What a beautiful way to end a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"

We watched the bull chasing hordes of people through the streets. We did not participate.

It was a foul day, it was pouring rain and we had to wait for a taxi. Just as we were about to enter the taxi, I realized I had left my coat on the train. The train was gone. Will I ever see my coat again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ec6518dc6045bfafa71645305feb2583 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><em>My Diary Entries Date: Thursday, December 29, 1960<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weather is the same as yesterday, pouring rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, we were able to buy a big black umbrella and my coat had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, the rain let up. The beauty of the downtown was calling us. The  beautiful town is right on the ocean. The streets are very wide and full of trees. The sidewalks are pictures of coloured tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b01164fec3a7862d94f051e5d9a79cf wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><em>My Diary Entries Date: Friday, December 30, 1960<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weather was nasty. We walked down to the docks along the ocean anyway. The wind and the rain dashing onto the break water and onto the sidewalk was very spectacular. The splashing water was always just ahead of us or just behind us allowing us to remain fairly dry. We walked around for a few hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We returned to our hotel room tired just a bit wet, but happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A FEW PICTURES

The poverty was very obvious very quickly. I remember this incident like it was yesterday. A fairly young woman approached us. She was holding a small baby bundled in rags with bare feet peeking out of this blanket of rags. She and the baby were surrounded by several small children. As she got closer she looked to me like she was trying to give her baby to me. The poor mother was begging for money. She needed  to feed herself and her children. We gave her some money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were sitting by a window in a restaurant, several children in ragged clothes stood looking at us as we ate. They stood with their hands outstretched and a pleading look on their faces. It became very difficult to finish our meal. I cannot forget the look on the faces of these children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARIS FRANCE our next visit<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6607b885d013bbe5ad6b8242a49177e3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><em>My<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Diary Entry Sunday, December 31, 1960<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are in  Paris, at 455 pm on Christmas Eve.

hall. We would be the only one using it. We stayed there as the price was right .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel restaurant was noted for it&#8217;s restaurant so we had a meal there, before we headed out for the evening. It was New Years Eve and we wanted to celebrate in someway. Going to see a movie was just what we needed as we hadn&#8217;t heard any english for a long time. We had been many weeks, not understanding what people were saying to us. The movie was &#8220;Don&#8217;t Give Up The Ship&#8221; with Jerry Lewis. It was our New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paris celebrated the New Year by ringing bells and honking car horns. The cars and the noise on the streets could be heard from our Hotel room. It was fun to listen to. We felt as if we were part of the night&#8217;s celebrations.

KLM made the arrangements for our flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time the <strong><em>President Wilson&#8217;s Modern Art Museum <\/em><\/strong> was open. We were mesmerized by the enormous collection of modern art and modern architecture that was available for viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2d0613cd331d3944041bb3edf7e2e126 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>My<\/strong> <strong><em>Diary Entry Date: Thursday, January 5, 196<\/em><\/strong>1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My diary is empty for this day. I  know that we kept on site seeing. I remember seeing the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elselesse, the Eiffel Tower and other interesting buildings and parks. Writing about this magnificent structures would have taken a lot of time and thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also enjoyed window shopping. It was fun to look in the windows and imagine buying something there. we promised ourselves that we would return and buy. We have been to Paris again and still did not buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow we fly to Amsterdam Holland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Den Haag, holland<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-169a2ce2997fae2c3fc20a226f5308b3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>My<\/strong> <strong><em>Diary entry Dated: friday, January 6, 1960<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bus took us to the departure gate at the Paris Airport. Our flight departed at 1200 hours. We arrived in Amsterdam at 1300 hours. At approximately 1400 hours we went by busto Den Haag, our destination in Holland. We would be meeting Henny and Bill Dykstra.  We are staying with Bill&#8217;s parents. Bill&#8217;s parents are friends of  Gordon&#8217;s parents.  The Dykstra&#8217;s, Bill&#8217;s parents had been in Canada for a while. The senior Dykstars were to be our hosts for our stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems we have a decision to make. We could each have our own room to ourselves or share a single bed in one of the rooms. If we each took a room their daughter Inaka would  have to go to someone else&#8217;s place to sleep. Inaka stayed in her own room. Gordon and I shared a single bed. I was amazed to find that after six nights in the single bed at Dystkar&#8217;s we did very well. I must admit that we had met many a single bed on this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seemed that many places on this trip only offered single beds. It started with our train trip from the Sault to Montreal. The private car we had was furnished with bunk beds and a small sink and toilet facilities. There were two sets of bunk beds in the cabin we were assigned to, on the MS Italia.   Were we going to be the cabin, I asked myself, but no we were not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having two sets of bunk beds facing in different directions was helpful for me when I became seasick. I could choose a bed depending on the way the wind was blowing and the way the boat was rocking. This seemed to help my nausea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-54a51fc395066ff2032edeaa468b3927 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>My<\/strong> <strong><em>Diary entry Dated: saturday January 7, 196<\/em><\/strong>1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a leisurely breakfast Bill took us to the city of Den Haag to see the works of Dutch Artists. One that interested me was the &#8220;The Anatomy Lesson&#8221; of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. It&nbsp;is a 1632 oil painting on canvas by Rembrandt housed in the&nbsp;<strong>Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands<\/strong>. It was originally created to be displayed by the Surgeons Guild in their meeting room.<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Anatomy_Lesson_of_Dr._Nicolaes_Tulp#:~:text=The%20Anatomy%20Lesson%20of%20Dr.%20Nicolaes%20Tulp%20is%20a%201632,Guild%20in%20their%20meeting%20room.\" title=\"\"> read more..<\/a>  Bill bought a coloured slide and of the &#8220;Anatomy Lesson&#8221; and gave it to Gordon.

They are main the mode of travel. in Den Haag and other parts of Holland. They do have streetcars, which we used to take us to our next destination the <strong><em>Rijksmuseum<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Famous Dutch artists were housed in the Rijksmuseum. I was not familiar with most of the artists. The artists impressed me with their abilities.   I studied some Dutch artists in an Art History class at Algoma University in 1969.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient articles of war were on display  in The <strong><em>Rijksmuseum. <\/em><\/strong> The display included, a variety of armour, the shields and swords. Old soldiers uniforms in their different designs and colours drew my attention. There was an amazing number of huge models of actual fighting vessels. We returned to the Dystkars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this long day we returned home to a delicious home cooked meal. Mrs. Dykstra fed our starving bodies. Bill was invited to  stay for supper after being our guide for the day. Henny was invited but she was busy so she joined us later. A very pleasant day and evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I must mention that we saw several windmills on our drives. Some were in use and others had seen better days. Both were very picturesque. You will see some windmills in the pictures below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were pleased to meet a dutch architect friend of Bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mauritshuis.nl\/en\/our-collection\/artworks\/146-the-anatomy-lesson-of-dr-nicolaes-tulp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4d7be188cbd7cdc1f5fc609f2f4053f4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><em><strong>My <\/strong><\/em><em style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><strong>Diary Entry Dated: monday, JANUARY 9, 196<\/strong><\/em>1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon went off without me on this Monday morning, which allowed me to sleep in.

I had a quiet ride by street car to Henny&#8217;s house, as the housekeeper who accompanied me only spoke dutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An interesting activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Avalanche climber\/walker<\/em><\/strong>. I did not know such a sport even existed. A friend of the Dykstra&#8217;s visited one evening and entertained us with stories and slides of his experiences with avalanches. This sport is almost as dangerous as mountain climbing. The beauty of the landscapes share a certain beauty. A winter wonderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food safety was an issue with me.They had very small refrigerators some what like the ones we have to keep our drinks cool. Their windowsills were used to keep many foods cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Bathtubs were about the size of the copper tubs one sees in old western movies. I think they could be even a bit smaller. I cannot remember if they had showers or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WE ARE LEAVING HOLLAND<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our hosts Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra, Bill, Henny and Anaka could not have been more gracious.

We traveled to Ipswich and stayed at The Gables. How well we were treated there by Mr. And Mrs. C. Roberts the owners. We were there for a few days so when we came in from roaming the small town, they had lit the fireplace in the living room for us and heated our bed with hot water bottles or hot stones. We enjoyed breakfasts with them and Dinner if we wanted to. We always took them up on the dinner as Mrs. Roberts was an excellent cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there we looked at places we might possibly want to live in. Very old houses with thatched rooves. Unfortunately, or fortunately the job did not materialize and we headed back to London. I say fortunately we did not stay there because Gordon would have a job, but I would not be able to. The thought of not having to work was okay with me at that time, but after 3 months of not working and spending so much time with nothing to do was no longer desirable. Stay tuned for the search for a home and job hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-25 is-layout-flex
