A new friend has turned up some wonderful newspaper clippings from The Ottawa Journal about my Dad which I can share. These may have been submitted to the newspaper by my grandparents.
Here we go, starting with 1939.
Next we go to 1940, The Ottawa Journal -
And 1941, The Ottawa Journal -
And 1943, The Ottawa Journal -
And 1944, The Ottawa Journal -
And finally 1945, The Ottawa Journal -
There is still more to tell about this latest information but here are a couple of observations:
1. Don't you just love the tea? It's what they did back then.
2. I find the reference in the January 12, 1945 article to the people in India's Punjab very interesting. The "sponsoring" of an RAF squadron seems rather quaint these days but that's what happened.
3. I would love to hear that radio interview done in Belgium which was aired on the Ottawa radio station CKCO. I wonder how the station got the recording? How was it recorded?
More as we move along.
