Georgie was the Historian of the family and her letter written to paul in 1963 was a tremendous help in researching the family tree. Georgie was also an avid painter and her works hang on almost every family wall. Tom and I always tried to spend Christmas Evening with Georgie and Spoonie and wer travelled to Charlottetown alot through the years to visit with them. They were both so full of happy stories and memories and we loved listening to them.
"Spooney" worked at the Post Office in Charlottetown, they lived on Water Street in an apartment over the original Seaman's bottling plant. Tom and I visited them often, and most definitely at Christmas. We were living in Truro at the time of Georgies passing and could not come home as Jay was just 2 months old and had already spent 19 days in the IWK, so we opted not to come home for the funeral.
See the letter on file that Georgie wrote to Paul in 1963 describing Elders and Friends.
Spooney loved to fish and so did Georgie and they spent many an afternoon enjoying their hobby. They also spent many days helping to build "the cottage" at Clinton.
