There are very few pictures of my parents alone during this period. Small wonder! They had 5 growing kids. So here are some pictures together with various kids.

In this picture we were all dressed up in our best clothes. We were probably about to set out for a family function. I thing the picture was taken by a professional photographer. Get a load of those bored expressions on the boys' faces.

Front L to R: David, Carol, Mike
Back: L to R: Ellen, Dad, Ma, Bob.

Here is mom in her 40s, in her home on Hartland, in a rare pose with our pet cat, Gumdrop.

Here Ma is in the beautiful garden on Pratt Avenue.

Freda is really glamourous in this picture.

Freda is dressed to the nines in her mink stole.

Dad always loved tennis. This picture was taken in the early 60s, at Joyce Park. Dad was a founding member of the Joyce Park (Outremont) tennis club. He was an avid player, and pretty good.

Here is Mom in her kitchen at 711 Hartland.Note the hairdo.
