The snowy-haired lady who presided over much of our community for so many years has gone now. She is still discussed for her long working hours, and because she carried such a great load of responsibility for only one person! Connie Holland viewed downtown Scott Street from her upstairs office […]

Maybe five men couldn’t make the world go around, but our oldsters—Billy Walker, George Henry, Bob Taylor, Bob Readman, and Louis Camirand—could look after practically everything concerning our old town hall for more than half-a-century. They could all handle authority, these leaders of our main municipal departments. They carried on […]
