London, Ontario

Here are some photos of the house on Pinetree Drive in London, Ontario, where Bill, Lorraine and family lived from 1981-1998. It seems to have been painted red, more recently. During the McNeilly years, it was brown.Our cat Rusty enjoyed prowling the wooded yards in this neighbourhood.

Riverside Public School was at the end of Pinetree Drive.  It was where Maureen attended elementary school.

 Brian and Maureen attended Oakridge Secondary School during their high school years.

Bill, Lorraine and family attended Riverside United Church, where Bill sang tenor in the choir.

Truro, Nova Scotia -- Updated photos of the house there

Here are some more recent photos of the house on College Road, just outside Truro, Nova Scotia, where Lorraine, Bill and family lived in the 1970s. These were taken in the spring-summer a year or two ago, by Google Maps streetview. The concrete steps and walkway that you can see under the living room window were poured by Bill around 1974.
