Hi Mike
Our family (The Murphy Family) lived on Ubique at #7. Just in from Royal. ....The Purcell name sounds very familiar. We were there from early ‘50’s thru until around late 1960. ...I remember the Whitings across from us. The Findlay’s amd the Martins. The Evoy family were more towards the main gate and next street towards the gate from us. The Turners. ..We knew and played with kids from all over Camp. Hockey team and Ball teams. Lots of ice skating on rinks in between the PMQ rows. Playing very exciting games of ‘marbles’ at recess and noon breaks at schools. The girls allways skipped the Double Dutch rope to many ditty’s and verse. We went to the school there for The Boys Cub nights. All them sort of things. Lots of good times at the Sports Palace.
...We were Mum and Dad and eight kids ( six boys and two girls). My brother Ernie was the oldest. Sadly he died at sea at a young age in a ship wreck off West Coast of Vancouver Island. ....I remember the Purcell name but cannot remember all the names in detail from those days. The mind tends to forget a few things as we age. Time and distance shall we say. ....I left NS in ‘66 for RCAF. Posted to BC. I retired there. ...In BC I only need to shovel pretty flowers off the sidewalk in winter time. I grew up mostly in Shilo but even then I was not a fan of snow or cold. ..Later.
