Shipboard scene, crossing the Atlantic in the Columbia, April 1952.

Margaret in "ihr Gips" - probably summer of 1950. The congenital hip displacement was discovered when she started to walk, and she spent about a year in a cast to realign the leg in the socket. The floppy bow is another story...

Oma with all her grandchildren, about 1967.

Steven and Margaret, 1954, Ste Adele.

Oma with Else and Anni, about 1919 perhaps?

16 July 1971 - Margaret and Roger had their wedding party at 17515 Ford Road, with family and close friends. Jim and Connie Cooter on the left, Gundel and Alfred in the background. The food, prepared by Gundel, was legendary, especially the potato salad.

Geoffrey and Alec (Norah's sons) visit Alfred and Gundel.

April 1952 - Margaret with her best friend, Margit Weber, and Fritzl the dog, just before leaving for Canada. When Margaret went back to Gersfeld to visit Aunt Anni in 1984, they ran into Margit in the shoe store.

Gundel in her beloved garden, amid blooming azaleas and rhododendrons. Alfred would have clambered as high as possible on the ladders that led from roof to roof to take this photo, in the early 2000s.

1994 - Scott and Drew try out the cupboards in Alfred and Gundel's new house.

Paul, and Peter Benjafield, on the way to Keremos - 1952, perhaps, in the days when young men went up to the logging camps to work. Paul started out as a camp cook, and I hope he'll add his experiences....

Oma (next to teacher) as a schoolgirl, about 1900.

Opa Martin as a schoolboy (back row), about 1890.

Skiing at Crystal Mountain, Christmas 1978 - Kate, Paul, Norah, Martin, Nettie. And Paul and Sue enjoy the view -

Christmas in Pitt Meadows, 1977 - Kate (Hughes), Gundel, Alfred, Nick (Hughes), Nettie - tucking into Christmas cookies?
