Hi Maureen,
Nice to meet you! I have been talking to my Mom, Diane and she and her sister Barbara are very excited that I have found you on this message board, as your Dad is one of the only cousins that she never met. My grandpa took over the homestead, and most everyone one else came to visit...many of them on a regular basis. I too have many memories of my great aunties and Uncle Frank. I never met your Nana.
I remember Dodie and her very curly hair. Mom will probably answer that question...Georgina is in Headingly MB, and isn't well, Alma passed away, but one of her sons Dick Kelly lives in Calgary and stays in contact with Mom, Pat lives in AB I think, and Dodi's son lived in Gimli MB. His Daughter Norma Bailey is also quite the film maker, and is actually the Director of Falcoln Beach, the Canadian drama that is shot at Grand Beach, MB. Talant must run in the family...too bad I didn't get any.
My Mom and I both live in MB. My Mom is in Brandon, and I'm moving at the end of the school year...not sure where as of yet. I have a brother, Robert, who lives in Regina with his wife Teresa and their 2 children, Derek & Mark.
Please e-mail either myself at
cathygrain@hotmail.com or my Mom
granger_diane@hotmail.com. Mom would be able to fill in any info. you want or at least know someone who can.
Also, I'm interested in who Stuart is, as I've never heard of him.
Thanks,
Cathy
