I'll see that he gets a copy. George Gaskill is my best mate here in Canada. He, and his wife Betty, live in Guelph, ON., in the summer and Victoria, BC., in the winter. Betty is a Barry from St. Alphonse's parish.

I am related to the Fitzpatrick's (my mother) from Rose Place and Gerard Gdns. One branch of our family was wiped out in the air raid shelter in Gerard Gdns. Also had family in the "Four Squares", Fitz's, Kaerny's, Williams's, Kearns's and Murphy's.
