Preachers

Isn't there an old timer that remembers those preachers that would gather at some corners on Wellington Street in the 40s and maybe also the 50s. They would have a group of about 6 to 10 followers who would gather and preach the gospel, They might have been members of one of the Verdun protestant churches. Just one of my many old memorie of Verdun.

kungfu. I have already mentioned this. You are right. The Salvation Army, which I was a part of, held their "open air meetings" most Sunday evenings in the summer on the northwest corner of Wellington and Willibrod. As most of you know, the Verdun Corps was on Willibrod between Wellington and Lasalle. Someone had a picture on this sight of the building not to long ago. We sometimes held meetings in other spots in Verdun.We had a very small brass band with us. Winston Allison
