Thanks for the memories and books Rae. My family have great memories of you. R.I.P.
To my knowledge Rae is still around. Am I wrong?
@@BriggsGuy54 Mystery to me as to why there has not been any write-ups or obituary. I checked with two other reliable sources after making the entry and they all confirmed that he had passed away. I do not know a date.
@@Jackoxxable Aww okay. Thanks for getting back to me. I searched the web the other day and couldn't find anything. I checked out his house when he had it up for sale two years ago. I was amazed at Fleming's intellect. More amazed than the house. We talked quite a bit and he told me about himself. I LOVED his house and I really wanted to pick it up half because of the history but I had cold feet with COVID on the horizon at the time. It was right when things were shutting down and the stocks crashed and the world shut down. I deeply regret not buying his house.
@@BriggsGuy54 I sorry to say no
@@terryrae6113 What do you mean Terry?
yes my uncle Archie McKinnon was great friends with Rae back in the day (first cousins) and shopped in the store for the farm. my son terry rae is named after him. a great man and true story teller.
Omg break my heart So cool 🤗
Excellent video, Rae’s book on Sir William MacKenzie is the authoritative book about the Canadian Northern Railway.
Art Truax was a real good man
Great summary of the early history of the Kirkfield Lift Lock. I can remember your grandfather as my dad used to stop in to see him when we were traveling between our home and the ranch. My father went to the same school north of the Lift Lock. There have been a lot of changes since the mid 40's to the Lift Lock and the area. A major change was made in the mid 60's. Nothing stays the same. In the 20's and 30's the Lift Lock was a gathering place for people on weekends. People would come to see the locks and picnic. It was not unusual for cars to be parked on both sides of the road for quite a distance.
I so enjoyed this presentation by Bonnie and Dale. I knew Bonnie and he family my entire life. I met Dale through Bonnie. It was very interesting to learn more about two very foundational Canadian families.
I grew up visiting with the Chirpaughs. My dad was Phil Butler, one of Bill's good friends. Everytime I'd be back to visit my folks, my dad and I would pack a few beers and go see Bill. Even after my dad passed, my mom (Judy Butler) and I took my then 5 year old son to see him too. He really is one of the last links to the history of Victoria Road and surrounding area. Thanks so much for doing this video Bill. I hope to see you next time I'm home.
Will miss you Breanda rest in peace July 4 1928 to NOV 15 2020
Enjoyed this Presentation and a glimpse into the Past
I used to own the No.8 school. My daughter has it now.

You

I met him quite a few years ago. He had a picture of my Grandfather John Crarey delivering Meat from his horse and wagon. I was so thankful he gave me a copy of it.

I've heard almost every family name she mentions, in connection with Fenelon Falls!
