ALAN 58 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Alan did you know David Johnson at Gilders, he is my cousin s husband they have lived in Canada in Windsor, Ontario since the seventies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan64 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 I worked with Dave at Gilders. I was at his parents place (or maybe it was Janet's) over a bakery in Wincobank many years ago. I have visited him in Windsor more than once. He also came to my daughters wedding a few years ago when I lived in Ottawa. Really nice guy. I have moved around over the last few years and lost touch. Give him and Janet my best when you next speak to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALAN 58 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Hi Alan , the world is not as big as we think it is. I only spoke to Janet a couple of days ago to give her bad news that my mother had died. We are really close as a family, and the forum is a great way of keeping up to date on things. I take it you will also know Richard , Janets brother he lives in Toronto. Edited December 29, 2014 by ALAN 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
