Gone Partying

Good Morning People,

I have gone over to the dark side.... http://martynorth.wordpress.com/ yes good friends I have decided that the grass is truly greener on the other side.

It has been one hell of a good time here on blogger, our readership is phenomenal but, and yes there is always a "but"..... reader contributions have not met my expectations nor have they met yours.

George Hollingdrake and John McC said it best in the past weeks... we need more individual input from Parkers ..... stories from our past .... there are humorous, happy and even sad stories that are worthy of posting.... they are your stories

Please folks, and I mean this in all sincerity, you have to stop relying on Normand. If it were not for his efforts we would not have old stories to post..... we need you.

If the blog fails it is because you failed the blog

Thank you for your readership and I'll see you on the dark side

Bob Hawkins

1. Married to Parker Alan Houle and lived there for eight years when we first married.

2. I visit the site to see old photos and recent photos of Parkers.

3. Montreal (Dollard-des-Ormeaux)

Thanks Gail D... much appreciated..... I do wonder where the other 300 or so readers are that did not take the time to respond

Small World

George and I must have been neighbours where I lived in Heckston Ontario was also outside of Kemptville - Parkers must gravitate to the same places. Keep up the good work with the blog. Barb Went

Thanks Barb....

Hello Bob.

I am a parker .I was born in a house on Murray Avenue in 1942 . I am not sure of the address but it is the house the Normandeus later lived in. We moved from there to B.C., shortly after I was born, because my father was in the air force during the war and stationed at Comox. In about 1945 we returned to GFP and lived above Balangers store on the corner of Churchill and Murray , with my uncle ,aunt, and cousins (the Pratts), while our house was being built on Regent Street. I lived at 33 (later 115 ) Regent St. until I left to come to Alberta in 1960.

I came across this site accidently a couple of months ago and read it almost daily. It brings back many very fond memories of a wonderful town to grow up in and many childhood friends that I remember well. I don’t see any reason to change the site in any way.

My wife Sonia and retired to a small town in north eastern Alberta called Smoky Lake. We both retired from employment in Edmonton. Sonia retired from the Alberta Treasury Branch and I retired From the Edmonton Fire Department.

Some of the friends I remember are Harold Rye , Jimmy and Johnny Mc, Kenny Naylor , Leonard Davis , Trevor Mead , Teddy Charles and George Graham , just to name a few.

We are planning to come to the PARK in July 2011 for the festivities and hope to reunite with old friends then.

ART RATTRAY

Please post this if you wish.

Thanks Art..... glad to have you aboard..... just so you know we have been changing everything over to WordPress... the reason is it is a more powerful site and allows Marty and I to do more for you the reader. The site is.... http://martynorth.wordpress.com/

Len Davis was a close friend of my sisters until she passed away and of course I have some tales about Trev and Teddy..... as for George Graham I seem to remember him playing football with a "Wrong way Corrigan" helmet, you know the old leather style.

I have a feeling that there will be a lot of people happy to hear from you

Thanks again for the memories.... keep them coming

When Autos Were Art

Thanks Norman.... they are still works of art to this day
