The girls didn’t waste much time when it came to the Boys. Turns out they made solid choices. The Boys – quickly became their Men – forever – for life.
Harry – Louise’s grade one crush – from North Carleton – lands in Toronto after serving in the Canadian Forces out West.
Jack – I couldn’t get Ina to talk much about Jack. “He was just there“- she says. And I guess he was. Smooth moves Jack. She thinks Ken Reid – a close friend of Jack’s – introduced them at Young Peoples. Jack was active in Mayfield United Church’s Young Peoples group – as Ina was at Norval United.
There were dates and dances.

Jack is so sunburnt that he can’t teach at Sandhill school on Monday morning.
Hurricane Hazel
Ina remembers a Friday night in October 1954. She and Jack were at Smellies in Norval. They were to about to head up to Owen Sound for a Young People’s Convention when Hurricane Hazel hit Toronto and surrounding areas. Norval along the Credit River suffered severe damage due to the Hurricane and resulting flood. Ina and Jack waited out the hurricane and headed to Owen Sound the next day.
Soon the Boys were part of the family .
