A look at the history and genealogy of London, Ontario. Monday, July 2, 2012. Canada Day 2012 In Harris Park. It seems traditional now that Canada Day is celebrated each year in Harris Park which is located along the Thames river just a stones throw from downtown. Sunday morning I thought that I would have a look before the big crowds started to show up to see the fireworks in the evening. The military displays, vehicles, reinactors were located at the north end of the park. War of 1812 reinactors' booth.

A look at the history and genealogy of London, Ontario. Friday, July 22, 2011. Naturally the kid on crutches gets front page in his father's employee newsletter. Lorine McGinnis Schultz’s post “Sharing Memories”. From July 17 reminded me of when my family acquired their first T.V. in 1953. As a background in 1953 I had what is called “perthes “ - I leave it to you to look this up in your dictionary! So what did I watch? As far as I remember it was mostly westerns, and Howdy Doody.

A look at the history and genealogy of London, Ontario. Friday, November 11, 2011. Veteran's Day the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was a very cold morning. The crowd out to watch the parade, and the ceremonies, was very large. I took what pictures I could while maneuvering for room in the crowd. I really should learn how to reset the day on my camera. Ah - technology. Labels: veterans day 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
