Hi Doug Welcome to the VerdunConnections site,.......ask any questions you like and just about everyone will be happy to try and oblige............. Look through all our messages,..and Photo Albums and Links (all of which are onthe left hand side of the opening page,........... Hope you find some old friends here,..and we also hope you have some old story's from Verdun (Montreal) ,...and maybe a bunch of old photo's you'd like to share as well................ Have Fun & Remember Verdun....................
Doug Brown, I believe I was in the same graduation class as Betty, my name then was Noble. I now live on Vancouver Island. Have you been out here very long? Cheers.
Hi Doug, I live close by you two..in Winfield...What street did you live on in Verdun? cookie
Doug, I'm Colin Black and so is my father we both live in Whitehorse, Yukon. Considering the year you are probably referring to my father. Colin(JR)
Did your Father ever go to Bannantyne School?
Margo
Not to my knowledge but he went to Woodland school he said he hung around there though. Colin
Hi there, from Erin, On. I'm not new but haven't joined in for quite awhile. Enjoy all the chat & recipies. I'm usually reading messages from work here in Etobicoke. Can't always get in!
I am not exactly new but have been reading Verdun Connections for some months now and enjoy them very much. I now live in England and tomorrow I am off for two weeks to Paphos Cyprus for some sunshine with my husband. Although I haven't partipated much I enjoy seeing the pictures and reading messages. I left living on Argyle near the Verdun High about 1954 and in April will be a fantastic 75!
HELLLOOOOO from Winfield,B.C. cookie
Hi Claroleca2 in Erin: We quite often go up your way for drives and walks. We were in Belfountain checking out the Caledon Ski Club and Belfountain Conservation area. It's quite a nice walk down the river trail to the railway overpass at Forks of the Credit. The only problem is getting back. If you ever go to Orangeville, be sure to drop in at Angels for a smoked meat. That must be quite a commute from Erin to Etobicoke every day. The 410 is a nightmare. Gord Gibbons Brampton
hello, from indian shores beach, florida, come on down. i tell ya i miss verdun. carolyn bennett. write me a note anyone...
Hi Colin, I knew a Colin Black ....... may have been your Dad. I graduated in '59. Helen D'All
Hi ca.ca. Erin. Live in Kingston but haven't been to Erin in some time. Verdun neither. Would like to know if anyone heard of the passing of Frank "banjo" Hanley. I didn,t know that he had.
Hi everyone, Mike Veinot here in Ajax Ontario.
Hi Mike: I just moved to Whitby as my brother did about a year and a half ago. Previously, my brother, Gordon Holdgate (Verdun High, 1972), lived in Ajax and I just moved from Pickering. Where about do you live in Ajax? Have you hooked up with any other Verdee's yet; there are a few of us out here. There's a Point contingent here as well as Lasalle. I graduated Verdun High in 1968. What era are you from? I believe there is enough of us here in Durham Region that we could have our own Verdun Reunion - should look into this. Drop me a line. My e-mail address is verdun50@rogers.com. There's no clue that I'm from Verdun, eh? My brithyear is 1950, hence the 50 in the my address. Anyway, let me know where you're living; maybe we can hook up. Heather Holdgate
Just saying hello all, I'm not new but enjoy the pictures and memories!! I miss verdun and have not been back for ages. I hope to make the trip next year to visit my brother John who now lives in ndg. Take good care all Joyce Cunningham
Hi Gord Small world! It's a nice treck in Belfountain, & such a beautiful little town. They made a movie I think it was last year called Widow on the Hill starring James Brolin. Have not seen it yet, apparently an HBO movie.. I've been to Angels in Guelph the smoked meat was just great. I'll have to try Angels in Orangeville next time I'm in shopping. Have a great day!
Hi again, I'm so used to the drive now, my husband & I commute together. He gets out in Brampton, then I hop on the 410 at Steeles Ave. Not so bad a drive when you have company. The winter is the only bad part especially if there's a snow storm.
Our daughter went to the University of Guelph and that's where we first came upon Angels. It's hard to top a smoked meat omelet. We also visited the John McRae (author of "In Flanders Fields") home in Guelph. A somewhat modest display. We really don't do enough to honour our famous Canadians. Gord Gibbons Brampton
Hi Colin & Helen, Colin if your parents are Susan and Colin , I knew you when you were very young and lived on Egan, Your Auntie Kate lived on Melrose, Auntie Eileen lived on Egan also. You may remember, Debbie, Vicki McGee. Please say Hi to your parents for me. Hi Helen, How are you doing? Email me at the above email address. Where are you living now> Barbara (McGee) Hastings
HI I'm not new ,But I've not been around much. Just stopping in to say helloooooooooooooo to everybody.....
Hi Barbara I do remember! And I will say hi to my parents for you? How are you? Colin
Hi Dianne I hung around the Y in the mid 60's Doris
doris, i went to y dances on lasalle blvd also, great times, not forgotten. i remember a little guy, rabbit ,dancing, he stole the floor, sonny martin was DJ then. carolyn bennett vch 1962 hi
Do you remember when Paul Nowlan and Brian Connolly were the DJ's around 1964?....Di
yeh, brian was a cutie pie, but after 1962, i did not go to the dances as much, was working at northern ,drafting. dept. carolyn
Hi All, Welcome to spring in Ontario. We are going to Montreal at Easter. Funny, but I have now lived longer out of Quebec then in it, but still consider Montreal HOME. Dina Steenhorst-Penning
Hello RDG (ReputableDutchGirl),........Your a lucky gal ,getting a quick visit to Montreal,......Easter says Laura Secord Eggs with the yellow yolk in them........Do they still sell those Eggs,..........probably a million calories in that thing............hahahaha I hope you take some pictures of your trip ,around Montreal ( and Verdun of course),........... I think there are a lot of us members here who have now lived more of our lives outside LaBelleProvince,.........but yet we still feel proud of Montreal and we certainly like to, Remember Verdun ......and it's Springtime all over the country it seems ,...a very mild winter for Canada, here on Vancouver Island ,it's been rainy & windy ,.but for the most part it's also been mild (a few exceptions for here) Have a good trip to Montreal, I'm sure you'll 'Have Fun & Remember Verdun'
Hi Doug your name sounds familiar and so does the 1st Pres. 501 club. Do you remember Grant Dalgleish? He lived across the street from me and I know he was part of the same group. And you're not that old, you would be about the same age as me. Bob Reynard
Hi Colin, I am fine and hope you and your family and parents are well. Auntie Eileen was in Montreal in March, she came down for my 65th Birthday party. She looks great, I see Auntie Sharon all the time, we go dancing every Friday night at the LAsalle Legion. I am to see if I can get Vicki and Debbie to join the Verdun Connections, and tell them that I was talking to you. Take care. Barbara
Hi Carol, I have been in Brampton for about 30 years now. Didn't know about Angels, but will try it out. I rode many times through Belfountain and also love the Park there. Next trip to Orangeville will definitrly take in Angels. We haven't had smoked meat in this area since Marty's & Marty's Too closed. Be safe out there, Bill (AKA Willie)
Hi Willie, I was actually at Angel's in Orangeville on Saturday. The smoked meat was good, except next time I'll know not to order the jumbo, it was too much! A lot of toursits go through Belfountain. It's such a beautiful & quain townt. It's amazing to see all the cars & bikes parked in the summer. There's barely any room to get by.
Hi Willie, Where abouts in Brampton are you? I didn't know of any good smoked meat places in Brampton, but there are a few good restaurants to go to. Have you been to Sunny's? (good hamburgers & real french fries) Take care & have a great Easter Carole
Sonys had a fire and they are still not opened,should be
soon thou.
Margo
i live in orangeville now and haven't tried angels as of yet, guess i should. caroleca, are you in orangeville?
I wonder if anyone here remembers Charlie Elkin???
Willie, Carole, Margo and Rainy Day Man: Maybe we should all get together one day for lunch at Angels. Rainy Day Man: I recall an Elkin who lived on Argyle, just below Bannantyne. He'd probably be in his later 50's. Gord Gibbons Brampton
Gord: There was a Jimmy and Norm Elkin that lived on Argyle. Ironically I ran into Norm Elkin in October 2005. He is living in Chateauguay and married to a girlfriend of mine. Connie
Hello Gord,
I might take a run up to the resturant on
Friday and test it out. And would like to meet
up with other Verdunites.
Margo
Are the restaurants near you open on good Friday?
Hi Gord, That's sounds like a good idea to meet sometime at Angel's. Hopefully we can come up with a time when everyone's available. Angel's is where the Burger King used to be, incase anyone's wondering where it is. In answer to Margo's question whether restaurants are open, I'm not sure if all of them are open, but I've been to Town Line fish & chips on a Good Friday before. Long wait, but it was worth it. Happy Easter everyone! Carole
ok, what time do we meet???
Hello Gord Eric,
I just came home from Angels Diner - Smoke Meat
Stacked between rye bread Montreal Style.
Resturant is very nice, clean and lots of booths
Place was packed food good and nice and friendly.
Buy 1 sandwich and get another one for a nickle.
Margo
Margo Okay, enough now!!! You've got me salivating!!!! Smoked Meat, Rye Bread, wish I could find me a place real close....want some now.
Hi Carole,
Drove up to Angels Diner this lunch hour the place was packed
Waiting in line to go in when we left and the smoked meat was
Deliousous . Piled high like Montreal.
I will be going back and would also like to meet former Verdunites
Up there.
Margo
I'll be visiting "Alberta, King of subs" this week for some of that with a can of spruce beer. Not as good as Marcos of course but spruce beer none the less.
I haven't been to Alberta King of Subs for a while. Now that you have mentioned the place I think I have to head there for a steamie! Is it still on Temple in the NE? Connie (Coleman)
Margo, Carole, Rainy Day Man and Willie: Why don't we meet at Angel's on Sunday (11:00 A.M.) April 23rd. for brunch. They can move some of the tables around to accommodate 10 people. Let me know and I'll see if we can book a large table. Gord Gibbons
Hey Shayne of course I remember Charlie still talk to him now and again Doris
Hi Gord, It sounds good to me. I will confirm by Friday If I can come or not. What about everyone else? Have a nice day. Carole
This is Margo, I didn't see GordErics' message
What day is he looking at going to Angels'
Margo
Sounds like a good plan and I know that i can make it. Please email me and let me know if its okay with all. Margo
My name is Margo Allen-Cardy and I would like to post some pictures of Verdun, 1 being a school picture from Bannantnye School in the 40's also other old pictures of Verdun. How do I post them as I have never sent any messages yet mostly a looker or send the odd replys. Thanks for your Help, Margo
Margo there's four ways you can add photos,as Les will add.One way is to add them to the message your posting.Another way is to attach a file.Another is to make a photo album of your own,or you can add them to another one's album.But you must have the photos stored on your computor.To add them to a message,you left click on the picture of a postcard on the task bar. The left click on my computor,then left click on browes. Then you scroll to where you have the photos stored(hopefully in pictures).Have fun it might take a few tries. Steve
I just sent pictures over to Verdunconnections@groups.msn.com and it was returned can you please give me address to mail this to.
Thanks, Margo
Are there any plans for meeting up at Angels'?
Margo
that's great doris say hi for me next time you chat with him shayne
Shayne: I sure will Doris
I wonder if it would be better to meet sometime in May. What does everyone think?
Hi its Margo have you had any responses from any other Verdunites. I can go either this week-end or in May its your call. Please let me know a descision. Thanks, Margo
Hi Margo, No one else has responded except you and me. Hopefully we will hear from someone else. Have a good day, Carole
may sounds good to me, just let me know.
Carole: Karen and I will be going to Angel's this weekend for breakfast and we can certainly return any time in May (excepting the long weekend). Why don't you pick a date and time. Gord Gibbons
Is this trip still on for Sunday still waiting to hear. Margo
Margo: Karen and I are still planning to go Angel's tomorrow for 11:30 A.M. We will be in the back of the parking lot in a blue Tempest. The Lincoln is in the garage. I hope you get this message in time. Why don't you give me a call at (905) 796 - 1901 to confirm. Gord Gibbons
Hi Gord, Are you related to Stan,Gloria etc,and was your mother's name Maud,,,,,,,,,Unscathed Big A
Hi when you plan a day in May please let me know and I will be available Thanks ,Margo
Hi Unscathed: My mother is Phyllis (nee Gunhouse) from the Point. The only Gibbons cousin that I have is Judy, who now lives in France. We lived at 444 Egan. I posted some photos a couple of years ago, actually the second set. My bedroom was the one with the panoramic view of the lane. Gord Gibbons Brampton
Hi Gord, I was wondering if you or any others went to Angel's on Sunday and what is their brunch like? I'm hoping to go sometime in May (not the long weekend), these past weekends have been very busy. Going east this weekend to Kingston, we're moving Mom to Belleville, after 32 years,(we moved from Verdun in 74). Take care, Carole

Hi Carole. Where the heck is Angels. I haven't heard from anyone I knew back on Allard in Verdun.
Just wondering. My original password was luluma 1 then I had to change it to 11. Now I'm using a different one because it was stated the former names belonged to someone else. That someone else is me. Now I have to use a different password, and yet my original name shows up. Pleeze esplayne Loocy.
Hi Luluma, Angel's is in Orangeville, ON.
Hi Carole: Karen and I did go to Angel's for breakfast on Sunday. There is nothing different about brunch other than you can chose from the breakfast menu or the lunch menu. In either case, my selection will include smoked meat. Why don't we try again to get together, how about Sunday May 7th. I believe that Margo is quite flexible, as is Shane. Do you have a time preference? Let us know. Gord Gibbons
hey luluma from allard. where abouts on allard? i lived at corner of bann.&valiq. 6277 bannantyne, grad. 1962 vch.until i was 38. whats your real name, carolyn bennett here.
Bahamas 8669. I am finally on line. It was a simple problem.
hey junebug, welcome back, gail supple, any relation to supples you know? i think i have been shut out, no responses to my contribution here, just another day in indian shores, veeeery hot, 86 expected high. bahamas865
Bahamas you live in Indian Shores,.....I can Remember going to Indian Rocks Beach ,many years ago,..like late60's early 70's,.....I did like & prefer the Gulf side,but I imagine the changes would be incredible in the 30 someodd years that have past,...but I also Remember going to a neat little 'Diner' and having a Huge Steak,...and if you like Steak,..it was Really Good,.... the name as I Remember it was "Donat's Diner",........the owner of the small Motel & Cabins that I stayed in took us there for a dinner,..... again I imagine the little Motel & Cabins have long since been replaced by high rise hotel or something similar,....... another memory from those days was that either every night or every second or third night,..a small jeep with a big fogging machine attachement ,..would come along and spray the other side of the street,.which was mostly greenspace and virtually no buildings there ( I suppose this too has changed),....but they would spray to keep the bugs down,........also I Remember the strange looking 'landcrabs',......quite funny to watch,.at how fast those things could manouvre...........
hey les, this is nothing compared to the charisma in verdun, donats is still here. hungry fisherman on gulf blvd, just sold, huge condos to be built there, start at 2.5 million, the pub is still here, same owner. its a mix of the old and new. the beach is lousey, refurbishing to start this week. water never clear so look out for sharks, they come into shore now. we caught a 3 footer recently, catching bait fish off the beach is risky, i had a small shark follow my net full of bait fish. i could not shake him, he had my net and fish in his jaw. pompano are running now. its not the bahamas, nor is it verdun, believe me. all the snow birds have left and its dead. if you remember the bay mariner, i am next to it. bahamas 865.
a little story about Indian Rocks Beach (Indian Shores) There is an old legend hereabouts, whose origin has long been lost, that an old Indian Chief, whose tribe made the Ocala area its home, became very ill. The Medicine Man finally decided old Chief Clica-Si was surely headed for the Happy Hunting Grounds and as a last resort sent for the Chief's blood brother, Chief Nu-Wa. Chief Nu-Wa knew of a wonderful healing spring several moons away, toward the setting sun, and soon the Chief's braves were carrying their old Chief in a litter toward the western water. They came to a place, along a narrow stretch of water, whose banks were lined with huge travertine rocks. Nu-Wa told the tribe that the spring was located on the sandy island that stretched in front of them. The teepees were pitched on the rocky shore and canoes took them across to an island where the spring was soon found. The Chief regained his health quickly after drinking the mineral waters and each year from then on, the tribe traveled to the rocks and the spring. ....................and now as Paul Harvey would say,...... ......the Rest of the Story: http://www.myindianshores.com/History/History.htm Certainly a nice place:......... manybe a few pics from around there would be nce to see,. A little while back we had a few members post pics from around their respective 'Neck of the Woods',......With the over 600 memebers ,.it would nice to see a bunch of pics,..from your present day homes? Any takers out there? ...........hf&rv........................................................................................................
Thank You for that update,....i had forgotten about the sharks,....but a tell tlae sign we were told was to look for dolphins/porpoises,....and if they were around,the water was safe ,.......so old Donat's is still around,....that's amazing,. Sorry to hear the beach & the water not being clear,.( Clearwater isn't too far away........hahahaha) I have memories of the water being great,...but that's along time ago,..........I did read about all the construction going on ,..(on that site for Indian Shores) ,...interesting site,.it tells of the work that's going on,.some noise to put up with for now,..but in the end it should be Great,.... I tried to look up Donat's Diner on the net a tear or so ago,.and I couldn't find anything ,.so if you by chance could take a picture of the old place ,.it would be neat to see,.....(I will search the net again,and see what I can find,as well) I Remember the old cottages I stayed at (way back when) where called the "Casa Chica" (I think) ..............................................................................................hf&rv
les, taking the pics is great, i am not savy enough to get them on, but maybe my better half can do it, ok? it really has not changed much here, clearwater beach is another story, its like west palm, gulf blvd is being torn up right now, below ground cables, and putting sidewalks in [indian shores] i ride from here to treasure island, by bike .its so much fun, friendly tavern is still there.thanks for the article on indian rocks. casa chica across from crabby bills still there. after living in bahamas, simple island life, this is another world. thanks again, will try for pics, great idea, carolyn
les, a guy named bob lunny lives here or did, owns seashell condoos his brother jack is in real estate here.i met him 3 years back so have not seen him around. this is nice to chat like this, usually no one responds. thanks. hope you remember me from verdun. hello from the pigeons.
Thanks Bahamas,..........it nice to know that some things don't change too much,.... I just looked up on a map ,.and did see that casa Chica is still around,....that's amazing,...I know I must have some pictures around somewhere,.from those days,..but where (I do not know)...........hahahaha It nice to live near the Ocean like that,...at least you can go in the water there,.the North Pacific here is nice to look at ,..but unless you have a wetsuit,.(or dry) it's just too cold,.....with a few exceptions from nearby beaches,...Willows Beach is right by me here,..and that water does warm up somewhat,......I seem to Remember the water on the Gulf side where you are wasn't too bad,...as compared to the Atlantic side,...which I always found to be Cold,....all the way down the Eastern Seaboard,...from Hampton Beach NH,.........right to the Florida coast,.....but seemd warmer on the Indian Rocks Beach side............(could be selective memory though,...hahahaha) ./..............................hf&rv
HAMPTON BEACH, NOW YER TALKING, I WENT THERE FOR YEARS, IS THAT YOU? WE GIRLS FROM NORTHERN WENT THERE EVERY JULY. IT WAS WONDERFUL, I BET YOU KNOW WHO I AM NOW, THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT, DIANE PIGEON, IS ARRIVING SAT. CAROLYN
I have no idea why ,.but the name Lunny seems to be familiar,...but again I am not sure why,...... MaggieMck is usually asking if anyone wants to go into Chat,....so anytime you can always check it to see if others are around,..(it's difficult to get a lot of people on there,.as we all live in different time zones,.......blah blah blah,.. as far as getting responses and people to talk back & forth,.I usually jump into any topic,.........( I'm sure to the dismay of some.............hahahahah) You say many snowbirds have left already,.....I guess the weather is getting nicer at home ,so off they go,....I know Florida is the Winter Home of many an ex-Montrealer,.......Nice to be able to Golf all winter,......we acn (for the most part) golf all winter here in Victoria ,.but this winter had lots of wind & rain,...more so than most winters,...but it's quite nice here right now,.and has been for a week or so now,.....Here' s to a Nice Summer for all of us regardless of where we live,,,,,,,& I'll follow that with a beer chaser............hahahahaha .........................................Have Fun & Remember Verdun, I've got a whole housefull coming for dinner tonight so I have to go and start some prep, work......

LUNNY,S SPORTING GOODS. FLASHBACK.... NOW GO COOK, MON.
Talk about weather....the winter in Alberta was three months of snow in March and that was it, so not a lot of moisture and now the forest and grass fires are starting up. We need rain. It's not even summer and already there are fire bans. Sigh!
Hi Gord, Sunday May 7th will be fine. 11:30 - noon? I think a smoked meat sandwich would be good for lunch, (instead of breakky). Looking forward to it! Have a great day. Carole
Hi Sabby ,.....just the opposite here in Victoria,........we had record setting rain & windstorms that lasted on & off for months,.....generally it's windy here in Nov & then again at the start of spring,.......and I saw the Fire Hazard sign yesterday coming through MtDougals Park,..(here in Victoria) ,....and the sign was at 'Low level' ,which is good ,..........hope you get some rain,,.........Forest Fires are not fun,...as witnessed in BC a couple of years ago........ hf&rv
Hi
Please let me know.
Murph.
Hi Les, Yes, I heard about all the rain you guys got this winter. I've submitted a short story I wrote called Smoke Summer to a contest and it was inspired by the 3 summers of dry heat we had here a couple years back. I remember it was so hot, I was at my computer just me and the screen in the dark sweating bullets. Well, I hope it gets published. I think I'm close. It rained a bit last night but not enough. One of the things I love about Alberta is the weather. The winters are dry so the cold is bearable, and the past couple years, we've had little snow. In the spring/summer, the mornings are cool and then desert hot in the afternoon, then cooling down in the evening...just perfect for sleeping and very comfortable. Montreal had that humidity and I vowed never to go back to Montreal in July. I had forgotten how muggy and uncomfortable it could get. Dolly
