Subject: Hi fellow cabbagetowners!

Wow, what a great forum. My family (Lynda, me, Stephen, Patsy, Bernie, Tom and Veronica - Jim & Olive parents) lived at 463 Gerrard from 1950 to 1957. Sibs all still kickin' and parents both gone. Some people I remember from that building and the house next door were Carla McNeil, Sheila Mike and Johnny Roscoe, Wayne and Blayne, Frankie and Hughie Simpson. We moved to a house at 363 Gerrard in 57 and the family was there until the late 70s. It was across the street from Walters Snackbar and Roy's Grocery. Blake's Variety was on the other corner (I think the McNultys lived upstairs). Remember the Sip&Bite on Parliament, the Male Shop and the ParG pool hall? Others that lived in those houses at Sackville and Gerrard were the Munros (Sharon -my first wife, Ricky, Brenda, Bob), Wayne and Cliff Barker, Robert Holland, Willy Springit, the Chattans and so many more (I'm brutal remembering names unless I hear them - but never forget a face). I went to St Martins school, played hockey for Lourdes and hung around with Les Morgan, Wayne & Cliff Barker, Marty Collins and Steve and Roman Mill. Spent lots of time at the K Club (our banquet team was the Silver Darts). I knew lots of others like Ernie & Bonnie McMaster, Donna McFarlane, Stevoreno?, Joey & Scrappy Scott, Joey Kelly and the twins Linda and Marlene?, the Komskys from S Regent, Gary Eastwick, Dougie Mc? from 407 Gerrard, and I guess I could go on and on. Just wanted to say hello to all and it would be nice to hear from any of you. It was great growing up in Cabbagetown and I wouldn't change it for the world! A special hello to Carla. Apologies to the many I knew and did not mention. Maybe y'all could remind me:>)
