Hi. will Murphy here again. Hi Floyd. As I mentioned before in these posts Our family lived on Ubique Ave.. Your family and ours were friends. I was born 1948. We left Shilo in late 1960. I certainly remember the Hamer family name. Floyd as a young boy I recall more than one birthday party with the kids. I remember your Mum would put nickels or quarters or some coinage in the birthday cakes. Wrapped in wax paper. ....Birthday parties in Shilo were always fun.
... I went on to Air Force in Fire Fighter ..Crash Rescue..
Ditto on the Happy New Year. Happy and Healthy to be sure.CFB

English surnames were derived from your position in life or the type of work you were involved in. A blacksmith evolved to Smith, a person who milled grain for flour was a Miller. The process of milling resulted in a lot of dust, hence the nickname Dusty.
