Hi
....and I shaved with her this morning....................as the old saying goes. ![]() Hi Dennis Was that Saint John or St John's. Folks out here are particular about that stuff! Writing "St John" is near sacrilege to some New Brunswickers!! I imagine you meant Saint John. Be well. regards Darrell |

Darrell Zinck. Oh yes, St. John. I've got family in Newfoundland and New Brunswick, so I'm aware..lol.. Dad was RCN during the War. He and his fellow sailors called St. John's, "Newfy John" so as to avoid mistakes, as so many sailors were not from the Maritimes, and confusion was very easy.
