Hi
My name is Rosalie Gerard Wilson and I will be visiting Gaspe where I was born in 1952. I have visited several times before but not since my father William Gerard passed away. I would love to reconnect with Gerard family. Is there anyone in Gaspe that would like a cup of coffee and talk about the family or memories of Gaspe?

I have searched online and cannot find a place to purchase one, if anyone has a suggestion or know where I can order one please let me know. Also searching for anywhere that carries the Gaspe Tartan as well. Thank you for anyone's assistance in this.

To the whole Vibert family: I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss to your family. When I think of your Dad, I have the biggest smile in my heart. He was one of the best people I have known in so many ways. He was very kind to me when I visited with him and your mother Mary when I was just a pre-teen after losing my Mother. He was kind, gentle, thoughtful and loved to tease me. Your obituary describes him perfectly. Keep all your wonderful memories close and alive.

Hello ,
“My Grandfather was Edgar Lawrence and he lived on Church Lane in Barachois, Quebec. His mother was Elizabeth Lemieux and her ancestors are a direct line to the Natives as well as Acadie’s in Nova Scotia.
My Mother Ethel was trying to recall the lyrics of a
We used them like brothers and gave them our hand

And our graves of our for fathers ,

They rudely tramped over torn up by the plow

Our children are worried distracted and poor

All because of the white man amongst us known “

It has been a very interesting 24 hours. My husband, who was adopted in 1949, was given his mothers name and background information and it turns out she was from the Gaspe. I contacted GoGaspe and was advised by Andy of the town where his mothers relatives may live. Well, yesterday he spoke to a surviving aunt and 2 cousins. I can’t thank this group enough for their help in his search. It means the world to him to finally connect with his family and they were so warm and welcoming.

Louise Palmer, do not know what "Bell" you are referring to, but in 1847 a ship The Carrick from Ireland was shipwrecked just off Cape des Rosiers, Gaspe. the Bell was supposedly found in 1966- 1968 near Blanc Sablon and is now with the original monument in Cape des Rosiers. If you google " The Carrick Shipwreck" there is lots of info, and also a picture of the bell along side of the monument. HOpe this helps!!

Hello, I have been going through old photos, and came across a picture of my father, Douglas Lorne Journeaux, and his friend Linden Bersherbie(sp?) with a church bell the discovered while scuba diving, the bell was on a ship and was lost when the ship sank. I believe it was between 1970 and 1980, as I was a young girl. I did once see an article about it, when they officially placed it in a museum. Can anyone help me find the story related to this bell?

MERILYN MILLER November 2, 1932 - November 6, 2020

Four years ago was the last time I found myself at the funeral service of family member – my great grandmother, Bessie. She was 98 years old when she passed, just a month or so short of her 99th birthday. She had lived a good life, her time had come, her passing was peaceful. As we laid her to rest, I remember turning to my grandmother Donna, her only daughter, and saying in the way only a naïve 18 year old boy could, “Well at least it’s easier knowing that her time had come”. She turned towards me, and with tears in her eyes, told me “Brandon, it’s never easy to lose your mother.” I will never forget that moment.

It’s no secret to anyone here that Nana’s health has been in decline for years. We also for almost a week before her passing knew that her death was imminent. Her death did not come as a shock to anyone. But it is never easy to lose your wife. It is never easy to lose your sister. It is never easy to lose mother.

I think that we can all agree that Nana would want us to remember her not for the way she died but for the way she lived. Not let the illness that she struggled with towards the end overshadow an otherwise happy and fulfilling life.

As her youngest grandchild, Nana was of course part of my life for a shorter time than most of you. But that does not lessen the impact that she had on my life. I won’t spend too much time here praising Nana. I’m sure that everyone here today and everyone watching at home has their own set of stories about how Nana affected them; the kind of positive force she was in their life. Or maybe you think the opposite – but hey, I’m not here to change your mind. All I can tell you is what she meant to me. How she loved to brag about me to all her friends, which embarrassed me at the time, but now brings a smile to my face. The countless games of Go Fish she would play with Ryan and I when we were kids (I’m sure it was riveting to play cards against a five-year-old.) Or that one time that I was misbehaving, and she threatened me by telling me to stop or she would get cross – I’ll be honest I had no idea what that meant at the time, but it sounded bad.

After all, when we leave this world, as we all will one day, we will not be taking anything with us. But we will all leave something behind. And for Nana, that is a loving husband of 67 years, a caring sister, three children of whom she was incredibly proud, six grandchildren, and five great grandchildren, as well as many other family members and friends. And though she’s no longer with us in this world, she lives on in the minds of all these people and all of the others that she has touched. And for me, she lives on not as she was when she passed, frail and confused. She lives on, sitting on the front porch of her house in Sunnybank, reading a book, occasionally looking up to see a deer poke its head out of the woods. I think that’s where she would want to be. I love you Nana. I’ll miss you.

Thanks to everyone that helped make our recent visit to Gaspe a wonderful experience. My wife nee Elizabeth Hope Ascah had two wonderful visits with Dorothy Phillips to talk about Hope's father (Royce), aunt (Elizabeth) and grandfather (Robert) and all the previous Ascah generations before. We enjoyed our visit to St. Matthew's Church and the efforts of those that made sure parking was available. The museum had pulled all their documents on the Ascah family and had them ready when we visited. Particularly interesting were the journals of John Ascah which we found the birth of Hope's father, aunt and the wedding of her grandfather.
We had 3 wonderful days exploring the park and enjoyed every restaurant and every person that we met.
Have a great summer everyone ! Cheers !

I recently posted about this on Vision's Gaspesian Community Sound Archives blog but thought I would try here as well.

I'm soon headed back to Gaspé for a month and am looking for info/documents related to the Wakeham-York Homecoming festival. As some of you know, I've been back in St. John's, Newfoundland writing my PhD thesis based on my 2015-2016 research in Gaspé. I'm currently writing about the festival and want to note that it has been both interesting but also very complicated trying to write about something I never experienced myself (I began coming to Gaspé about six years after the festival folded). What I’m trying to figure out is this:

How should the festival be remembered in writing?

I have the privilege of being perhaps the first person to write extensively about the festival for audiences outside the community. What sort of things should I know? How did the festival change the community? What were the most memorable events/years of the festival? What items (whether photographs, cassette recordings, newspaper clippings, VHS tapes) from the festival should be archived for future generations? Festival co-founder and president Albert Patterson has been very generous sharing his thoughts, photos, and clippings with me. But many people make a festival and I want to hear from others who attended or participated in any way. I would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone in the community who wants to contribute their knowledge or loan a document to do so. I’ll be in Gaspé between May 8 and the beginning of June. I will have the equipment to copy tapes and scan photos and newspapers. Feel free to leave a comment or email gaspesiancommunitysound@gmail.com if you have any ideas.

We could not have done it with out all your help. The bake sale alone took in almost $1,800. A total of just over $3,200. was raised including the bake sale, donations, ticket sales and membership cards.
Again a huge thanks to all involved.

Hello to James Coffin re: your father Wilbert Coffin. I an a cousin of yours - my mother was Gwen Patterson (Sunny Bank- parents Daisy & Phillip Patterson).

Hello, my name is Paula. I noticed the name Kennedy mentioned on this forum several times. My Mom grew up in Douglastown. Her name was Mary Laura Kennedy. Daughter of John Kennedy and Clara Morris. Here sisters were Mary Rita, and Mary Ines, and I know she had a brother named Charles and a brother, Lloyd. I am just looking for anyone that may know of my Mom's family. I believe her cousin Francis still lives (lived) in Douglastown. Thanks for any information you can provide about my Mom's family. My Mom passed away 5 years ago at age 90, so this is going back quite some time.

Way to go Martha, so glad you posted about the donations, it is sad that more people are not giving like previous years, I am sure they still enjoy the Gaspe site.........so please everyone send in your donation, Andy and Ron put in a lot of hours working on this great site.............Thank you,,,and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

GoGaspe support / donations..... or lack thereof...They say thanks, but how disappointing it must be for Andy & Ron to have received so few [ only10! ] donations in 2015. In 2010 there were close to 50 - what's changed? I'm quite sure costs have not gone down. I'm quite sure Andy & Ron still put in as many hours keeping us Gaspesians 'connected'. I'm quite sure revenue from commercial sponsors doesn't even cover hard costs of maintaining the site and equipment upgrades. I'm quite sure many, many, Gaspesians appreciate GoGaspe..... so why do so few demonstrate that appreciation by making a donation? .....I for one just hate to see their time & expenditures taken for granted..... C'mon folks... if YOU appreciate GoGaspe how's about YOU join us regulars, make a donation. See the "Donate Now' icon upper left of the page? Why not take five minutes...... show your support!

Some time in the morning of December 11th, my brother Melvin got lost in the woods in Douglastown. He had wandered off looking for something, and completely LOST HIS WAY. From what I understand, quite a few volunteers showed up to look for him, to no avail. They had to give up for the night as it grew too dark to search. Melvin spent the night walking, all night long. The next morning at 6:00am, the crew showed up again to search. He was found a bit shocked, but safe and sound. My family and I would personally like to say a big THANK YOU to you WONDERFUL people who volunteered in the search. A very special THANK YOU to Vernon & Carol Annett who acted as if Melvin were their brother, and were relentless in their search and FOUND him. WE THANK YOU, WE
THANK YOU.XXXX

I know I don't live in Gaspe anymore but it is always home to me so I feel that I have to say something about the removal of bilingual signs at a hospital of all places. I am wondering if a community in Northern Ontario with 15% of the population being French would get away with the removal of bilingual signs in thier hospitals. I really don't know the answer but I am pretty sure in that case bilingual signs would be insisted on by the 15%.

Re: Hamilton Spectator. ---- Burlington--- On a sunny day, the crowds sipping a cold summer drink on a Brant Street patio or strolling along the pier at Spencer Smith Park don't need a magazine to tell them they're living in one of the best places in Canada. But it's still nice to hear. Burlington placed THIRD overall and FIRST among mid-sized cities based on MoneySense magazine on its annual list of best cities in Canada. It comes as no surprise to Burlington people. I have yet to ever speak to anyone living here that does not have anything but praise for this beautiful city. Speaking to a woman from Wales while out to breakfast a couple of days ago. She loves it here and when I asked her if she ever goes to Burlington beach and she replied my husband and I call Lake Ontario our Sea. I am very thankful for my brother Glenn as he moved here and we all followed. Jackie Patterson

Hi my friends.
My Grandfather didn't talk much. He grew up in Hope Town. His name was Cecil Ford McRae. He married my Grandmother Joyce Sheer in Niagara Falls. He left around age 20 and was born in the 1920's. My Great Grandfather was Charels McRae and apparently was the Mayor of Hope Town for a period of time. They had 13 Children. My direct descendant is Duncan McRae four in the battle in the 17 or 1800's.
I desperately want know more and I want to come to Gaspe to connect. Duncan came from Scotland and took a musket ball in the shoulder.
Does anybody know anything? I'm sure I must have family there. Or friends who remember something. I live in Peterborough. Oh, and I know one of my grandfathers (Cecil) is Kenneth Powers.
God bless and cheers.

In loving memory of Reginald James Mabe who passed away 45 years ago today, December 18, 1969. ``Reggie`` was a respected lumberman from Corner of the Beach who employed many men in the Cannes des Roches to Bridgeville area. One of his proudest achievements was in the late 1940s, when he was called upon to blaze the power line from Douglastown through the woods to Perce after the ``experts`` sent from Montreal had become hopelessly lost back of Douglastown! The present L`Auberge le Coin du Banc was his family home where he and his late wife, Luena McCallum raised their three children, Shirley Boyle, the late Gary and Earle Mabe. Gone but not forgotten!

Sunday July 13 13:53:38 2014 The passing of our Uncle Murray, June 10,2014. Uncle Murray made us remember what it is like to learn, have fun, help people and what it is like to cry until God decided it was your time, your time to go so he took your life away. We feel the pain, the pain you had been suffering for so long. It's going to be harder than we thought to think of life without you because wherever our Uncle Murray went he had a presence one couldn't help but feel his presence when he entered a room. Must be Gaspe people, after all if you are from Gaspe you must be a good person. (Doris), children, grandchildren, sisters, nieces, nephews, brother-and--sister- in-laws and friends will always think of you. And we will always know that you'll be looking down on us keeping us safe and making sure we have the tools and know how to keep things going well in our lives, making sure that we have a good life just like you did until the day that God decided that it was your turn to go. Little drops of rain, whisper of the pain, tears of love lost in the days gone by. I hope you were watching and listening the day your children, grandchildren, wife and family gathered around to show you that they love you and how much they cared about you. If Uncle Murray we could have just one more wish, one more day and wishes did come true, we'd spend every glorious moment side by side with you. Recalling all the years we shared and how memories are made with a special memory from my sister Cindy, remembering your wedding day, how she sat in her pretty blue dress, crying on the steps of the church because her Uncle Murray was getting married. Uncle Murray I love you, I miss you and you influenced my life more than words can tell. When you look down from the heavens at night you will see the porch light on.

All of you know Uncle Murray as a friend, people who can be relied upon to lend a helping a hand in any adversity. Because he has spent so much of his life in this lovely town of Gaspe they have a wide circle of friends. Yes, they have helped those friends, but those friends-you people-have also helped them. We know him as Uncle Murray. Doris, Richard, Karo, Nancy and Kevin and their family know him as a parent, grandparent, uncle. Our debt to Uncle Murray is incalculable, and our love for him is equally incalculable. So my little (married cousins) and Aunt Doris we too are reflecting on what he accomplished in love, friendship, parenting and grand-parenting. Our hearts are breaking because our mom, his sister (Betty) Frank (Betty's husband) cannot make this trip to share the journey as we send Uncle Murray home, but know that our hearts are in our beloved Gaspe. Remembering our Uncle Murray, God Speed, Cindy and Pamela Hamilton. (Ontario)

All of your warm sentiments and kind words about mum, the fond memories that you shared, and prayers were greatly appreciated. The service was wonderful and the turnout from so many of the choir members warmed our hearts.

Mum was so very lucky to spend her retirement years in this wonderful community of Gaspe, who treated her so very well. You were her family, when family was so far away.

A friend of mine just suggested that just maybe folks from outside of Gaspe could possibly be interested in supporting Our Gaspe Cancer Foundation . Our organization is a non-profit that helps folks travel outside of Gaspe for treatment ,because we are a small town we do not have all the equipment available to us for treatments . Our Christmas Tea and entertainment is one of our fund raisers . SO IF you are interested in helping all you have to do is send a cheque to The Gaspe Cancer Foundation ,P.O. Box 6078,Gaspe ,Quebec,G4X 2R6. All donations will receive a receipt . Your generosity will be greatly appreciated . This is an organization that is strictly done on a volunteer bases .

I am so sorry that I didn't speak to Denver again before he died, however it must be a comfort to know that he wasn't suffering much. That was what he told me the last time we spoke, the medicine was helping. God bless and take care. Please write me, I would like to hear from someone from the family.

UNITY MARCH ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013 and this is for the UIC please come join us we need your help

This Saturday (19 January 2013, beginning at 1PM at the Shigawake Log Cabin), we are inviting all of our neighbors to come out and participate in a friendly and peaceful demonstration against the Harper Government’s Omnibus bills C38 and C45 that will have a negative impact on both Native and Non-Native People in the Gaspesie.

These bills are being passed without the consultation of the Canadian People or the First Nations Peoples of Canada. This is a violation of the Canadian constitution and it is an infringement on First Nation Treaty Rights.

The laws that the Harper Government is passing are going to change all of our lives forever. Seasonal workers will no longer be able to provide for their families as they always have and our water sources will no longer have the environmental protections that regulate industries that want to exploit the oil, gas and mining resources on our territory. For Gaspesians, this is devastating because almost all of our jobs are seasonal and most of those jobs are related to the water! We must stand together to protect OUR future and OUR environment.

This is an opportunity to show the Federal Government that both Natives and Non-Natives are united to protect our rights. And above all, that we will not accept the Harper Government’s attacks on our constitutionally protected rights as Canadian Citizens and First Nations People.

Everyone is welcome to join us at the Log Cabin in Shigawake. We will meet there at 12:49PM and we will begin our march in solidarity from the Log Cabin at 1 pm, down to the Fairgrounds. All traffic circulation will be stopped during this event.

There will be speakers who will address the importance of our unity against these omnibus bills. These laws will have a negative impact on us all if we do not stand together and tell the Harper Government that we have had enough of his dictatorship!!!

As Bernard Jerome said, referring to Non-Natives and Natives, "It's no longer us against them, it's us"

On 5 January 2013 the people of Gesgapegiag warmly invited us to walk beside them in peace and friendship in support of an important common cause. On Saturday 19 January 2013 we welcome them and our surrounding communities to join us in Shigawake and to walk proudly together once again

He took pride in doing a good job at whatever he set his mind to doing.

I am hoping someone can help me out!

My family and I spent the summers on Haldimand Beach for nine years many years ago. The time spent their holds some of the most wonderful memories for our whole family. My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year and as a surprise gift, we were hoping to be able to rent the same house, or any house on Haldimand Beach for one week next summer, 2013.

Would anyone know or have the contact information for the home owners whose house is mid way down the beach, brown in colour with distinctive antlers affixed to the outside wall of the house facing the beach? If not, would you know of anyone on that beach who would be willing to rent their home for one week to an extremely respectful and well mannered family?

I can be reached at jamos@sympatico.ca

Many thanks.

Concerning the Nancy Drew books...there are quite a few of these books in the library at the Gaspe Poly. Please stop by any afternoon during the week (I am away next week) or call me at the office, 368-2903, to arrange a time for you to visit. You can borrow as many as you like.

Hey Tina,
I think i can help you out with the recipe you asked about.

You need for 4 people about a pound of clear salt pork, NO LEAN or the meat wont crisp properly. You may have to ask youir butcher about this. If you want to feed more people you would need more pork. These are the gridalles. slice you meat thin or have the store do it. Put the meat in a large and deep frying pan cover with water and boil two minutes pour off the water and begin to fry the meat on low heat you will have to turn it often and turn the heat higher as you go along ( be careful not to get burned and turn up the fans this meat will splatter a lot and cause some smoke) fry until the grillades are golden brown and remove from the fat very carefully . Place on a plate on a piece of paper towel to absorb the fat. Turn the heat down on your frying pan to low and add two finely sliced onions cook until they are clear then when you serve your fish just put some onion and fat on it and grillades on the side. This is the Coteau way , enjoy

Re: The Black Whale, again..... Bonnie, if you're in a hurry to get a copy just Google it - you'll see a copy available in the US. pricey tho' - $50 for an original [1948]; the reprints from the 60s are quite a bit less - usually.

Black Whale, the cookbook. Don't see any today, Bonnie, but it's often available at: abebooks.com & sometimes comes up on eBay at eBay.com. Expect to pay at least $15 - $20. Good Luck!

I am responding to the request of Bonnie Hotton asking about the Black Whale Cook Book. I have a copy of this book it was first printed in 1948. There is a phone number and address in the book, I called the number and spoke to a very nice gentleman who told me there is none in circulation at the ptesent time but he is expecting to have more printed by next summer. He apparently has all rights to this book.Hope this will be of some help to you. yours truly Janice Farrow nee. Miller

I am sending this message on behalf of my mother Aurora Ste-Croix. Aurora was born in Barachois on October 27, 1940. Aurora moved to Ontario in 1963. Aurora is very much interested in locating her cousin Maurice Lemieux. She has fond memories of Maurice growing up and would love to contact him. We have reason to believe that Maurice lives in Ontario. If anyone knows where we may be able to contact Maurice that would be wonderful. Thank you for all your efforts, Doris

I got a package in the mail today from Deanna Morrison in response to my request for pictures of the old Soldiers Memorial Hospital. Some have also e-mailed old pictures. Thanks to all of you who wrote, sent pictures and memories for my mother's 100th birthday. Yeah for all the down homers! I was reading and talking with her today. She was most disgusted with me because I couldn't get geography and rivers and towns straight. She said either take a trip or get yourself a map, then you'll get straightened around. The trip sounds much better than a map. Thanks again for all your help. In behalf of Jean Young from Oak Point, but also from her wanna-be down homer daughter Diane Minerich

Hi, I'm researching my family tree and hoping somebody can help. I remember as a child Rev. Grover Kendrick, his wife and mother-in-law visiting with us in NL(1960's). I know they lived in the Gaspe area. His wife and mother-in-law were relatives of my father. I don't know if they had any children, can't remember any visiting with them. If anyone has any information about this family, if they stayed in the area, or moved, where they live or where they are buried, I'd greatly appreciate it. e-mail h.dbutler@yahoo.com

I have been searching diligently, but have not found a source for a picture of the old building, Soldier's Memorial. Mother would be so happy to see it. She never lost her love of the Gaspe. She just asked today if I would take her there one more time. She still is Nurse Jean, and tries as she can to help the "patients" she lives with in assisted living. She regularly chides the doctors for not examining persons who have symptoms she thinks should be seen to. And the nurses catch H--- if their nursing technique is inadequate. That must have been some great training she got in Cambellton to still be practicing 70 years later. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide me. dianeminerich@comcast.net

To Bruce Patterson and all those concerned with the Sunnybank Store. My understanding is that if a building is over 100 years old, it can be cosidered a Heritage Site if it is or has been of some value to a community. I understand the Sunnybank store is over 100 years old and certainly appears to be of some value to the COMMUNITY OF SUNNYBANK,has anyone approached those who would be involved in this area to have it declared a Heritage Site, or am I wrong in the interpretation of a heritage property.

I've just finished a summary of our time in Douglastown with pictures and music. Hopefully, I'll have some videos of the Irish Week up on our site soon too.

Thanks to Brgid and all the musicians who jammed with us, and dancers who made this a special night, and all Douglastowners from near and far who came out to see us.

A special thank you to my friend Glenn Patterson who did the presentation and played all the tunes.

Our fiddle/guitar sessions at Norma’s & Brian’s and at Aunt Phyliss were also highlights of our week there.
It nice to know that old time fiddle is alive and well in Douglastown.

For anyone interested in the fiddle music of the Gaspe, there are a few things going on during the Irish Days the first week of August in Douglastown at the Community Centre.

On Aug 3 at 7 pm, myself and some friends will be giving a presentation on the fiddle music of several fiddlers from around Douglastown, notably Erskine Morris. Anyone with memories of the old time music and step dance is welcome to come and share their stories, or even a song, or tune.

On Aug 4 and 5th, I'll be giving beginner and intermediate fiddle workshops. If you've always wanted to learn the fiddle, I'll get you started with holding the instrument and bow and playing a few simple tunes by the end of the class. For the intermediate class, I'll introduce you to some fairly straightforward tunes and techniques once very popular among fiddlers on the coast. The cost is by donation. If you don't own a fiddle, contact the Community Centre at 418 368 0288 and they will provide you with one.

Here is the program guide:

Hope to meet some new friends down there,

Adair, in reply to your message regarding the CBC interview that Ron and I had with Jacquie Czernin and Bruce Todman on York River Seniors. I did indeed speak about our President, Tony Patterson, who has done so much for the club. I was very disappointed when it aired and this was not mentioned. I had a phone call from Jacquie Czernin that evening and I asked about this. She apologized but said they had run out of air time.She asked me to give Tony her apologizes as well,which I did.

Listened with interest to the CBC interview re York River Seniors. Both Ron & Ivy did a great job. I was dismayed however that no mention was made of the current president, Tony C Patterson, who reluctantly accepted this job and whose hard work and dedication have truly brought this organization to life.

A further note to that of Martha Patterson Costello concerning lost $$$. She is correct in saying that these searches are very easy to do yourselves on the Bank of Canada website. If however you do choose to send an actual email to inquire further, please provide your full name, address and postal code as this minimizes the workload of the Bank of Canada staff. There are only a few people working in the Unclaimed Balances area and with the current national news coverage concerning "Forgotten Fortunes" these people are being bombarded with emails, so giving as much information as you can speeds up the process and minimizes frustration for everyone.

Thanks,

Richard Mullin

Do you have lost $$$? Perhaps you do..... The Bank of Canada is holding millions in unclaimed balances! It's easy to check for yourself & / or friends & relatives, living or deceased. I just found $500 of a friend's sitting there! It's easiest to search by surname only..... and be sure to check other provinces too; I see a Patterson / Simpson's Automobiles in Ontario.

Go to:

http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/index.html

Under services, in the top tool bar, see 'unclaimed balances'

Have fun! & Good Luck! We can discuss my cut later... : > )

Part 2 of our article on Cyril Devouge's fiddle music is finally completed. In this article we post a few of Cyril's best tunes recorded at the home of Brigid Miller (Drody) in the 1990's when Cyril would have been in his 80's. I also provided a link at the bottom to a page where I teach a few of Cy's tunes, slowing them down if there are any fiddle players out there.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading the blog and enjoying this fiddle music.

Here is the article:

I would like to extend my sympathies to the family of Rowena Cunning, we lost a great lady. I have many fond memories of Row, she was a constant figure in my life all those childhood years in Gaspe. She had many children pass under her wing, and we all respected her so much. From her Sunday school teachings and warm smile she had for all of us, right up to her stern look and her finger to her lips when we were loud in church, everybody loved Row! I have many snapshots in my mind of her bringing her beautiful flowers to grace the church most Sunday mornings. May she rest in peace, and may her family cherish the memories they have forever.

attended our open house / wine & cheese this afternoon at the seniors
room in Wakeham. A very special thank you to those who provided the
wonderful music; Alfred Cassidy, Yvan Frenette, Marcel lapointe and
Bertha Roberts. Some of us, after a glass of wine, were even brave
enough to get up and dance. A great time was had by all and another one
is in the planning for this Fall.

She will always be held in the highest esteem by so many of us, as she was our leader in much of our growing up years - Brownies, Guides, J.A., and Sunday School, and a good friend to all of us, may she rest in peace.

Hi there,

I did a little article about my friend Cyril Devouge from L'Anse à Brillant and thought it may be of interest to some of the readers here. Cyril has been a good friend, fiddle teacher, and source of knowledge about the old-time ways in the past half-year and I wanted to document some of the knowledge he has passed on to me. I'm sure many of you will know some of the names in the article, feel free to leave a comment on our site at the bottom.

It was with shock and sadness to hear of the untimely passing of Johnny. I wanted so much to be with you, but that wasn't to be I guess. Had I not taken sick, I would be there now. We will miss Johnny when we go to Gaspe, and not find him at home. We both thought so much of him. If only there were words to express our thoughts and a way to help you through this difficult time, but please know we are with you in spirit, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love and Deepest Sympathy to all of you.

Praise to God.For the very pretty scenes off of the York River Bridge, that I have seen this past fall of 2010.We have our regrets from the floods in Dec.,but nothing can compare with what God has given "to us to look at,that takes away the hurt,with such breath taking views of that same river. All winter ,spring,summer and fall we pass there and always look to expect a different scene each time.Travellers can also tell,that we now are home, once we cross that bridge. We can also see the fish in that same river,swimming about,and watch the ducks,geese and other birds swim and take flight at the least noise.Every now and then there ia an otter,a beaver etc,and along the shore line a deer can be seen walking along, but always something new.We can watch kids swim and skidoos run by and a boat of some kind pass.On the bridge many a friendly conversation has gone on. Yes we can have our sad moments with the high rises of the water ,but most of us wouldnt trade this homeland for anything. God Bless our Gaspe home. Arlene Boyle

To all those who have been affected by the flooding and especially those in Sunny Bank,

We are thinking about you and wish there was some way we could help. Does anyone know if there has been a fund set up so people can make a donation to help those who were most affected by the flooding? If so could someone post it here so we can make a donation? Thanks.

Gaspesians are a tough lot, so we know you'll get through this but it's a busy time of year and then to have this kind of thing to deal with too is not easy. Hang in there!

Remembering former floods.... Dad [Joe Patterson] reminisces ..." The fall Father died [Oct 1920] three men [he forgets just who they were] got in a canoe at our barn & paddled right across to Mr John Eagle's store, stepped out of the canoe onto the step. Uncle Rupt's barn [now Carley Patterson's] was a bit lower, had water in it, but they didn't have to take the animals out, not quite." Times were simpler in 1920 - there wouldn't have been the damage then there'll be this time 'round..... thoughts are with you all. Martha, in sunny, cold [windchill-25*] Ottawa

Hi Folks, I too am disappointed in that decision. My great grandmother was the instegater of the first church being built of those days in that whole area. The reason was that she had to go to Gaspe to church and found it too far and it wasnt the church she preferred to go to so she was the main one to start the anglican church in york. I for one will send a donation if thats what they need. I think that we who pay any amount to that church should have a say in closing it. There is no need to do it. A church just closed here where I live and there is a sad result. People like habit not disruption and it will cause a permanent dissruption. Arlene Boyle

Hi there,

I'm looking for information on a Father Elias Morris who was a parish priest in Fox River some time ago. We are doing a project to collect the older fiddle tunes that come from the area around Douglastown and found a tune that my friend's dad played that is called "Father Morris' Tune". My friends father was an old-time fiddler from Douglastown and a relative of Father Morris. Apparently, Father Morris was very musical and we would like to find out more about this man and perhaps also his music.

You can hear Father Morris' tune here if you scroll down a bit:

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family and especailly Mrs. Ella in the passing of Mr. Gillis. Mr Gillis was always ahead of his time, in his thinking!! Think about all his ventures, the legion, his devotion to ideas and conviction. He saw the BIG picture, long before it even existed!! My gratitude to him, in believing in tree plantations cannot be expressed in words. Many young people in our area grew up making money tree planting, because he quickly understood the importance of... the community. Bruce

Friends,

I've just finished an article about a visit we had recently with a fiddler from Brilliant Cove. His name is Cyril Devouge and he is 95 years young living in a rest home in Chateauguay.

We have recordings of many of the stories and jokes he told about people back home that some of you may enjoy.

He also mentions some of the following fiddlers from the area: Willie & Roland White, Adolphus and Elias MacKay, Arty Savidant, and step dancer Isidore LeRhé. If anyone out there knew or has information on these players, we'd love to hear from you.

Here is the article:

Marlee,

I'm not sure there's a tune of his called new Toyota but I like the sound of it and we've been known to give a lot of the tunes temporary titles, this may be the next one :)

Anyhow, I'd be happy to either write out any of the tunes from our Erskine Morris blog for you in sheet music or send you a recording of me playing the tunes very slowly so you can pick up each note.

Get in touch with me at glenndavidpatterson@gmail.com and we'll fix you up

by Glenn Patterson

Friday June 4 22:34:23 2010
I have discovered the wonderful fiddle tunes of Erskine Morris and would like to know if you have the sheetmusic for most of them. I am particularly interested in New Toyota. It's a great tune! I prefer to learn by note but if need be, I can learn by ear just as quickly.

Hoping you can help me ASAP.

Thanks.

The family of the late Donald Patterson and Linda Miller would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who expressed their sympathy during this most difficult time.

Perhaps you sang a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, if so we saw them there. Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Perhaps you prepared some tasty food or maybe sent a charitable donation. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from ‘afar. Whatever you did to console the heart, we thank you so much for whatever the part.

Your kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

Re/ Gaspe' Breakfast

I would like to thank Jackie and Earle for their great planing of the breakfast.
The caterers need to be told of the poor quality of their food. The breakfast was a disappointment.
This does not reflect on your planning and hospitality, you both did an excellent job working the floor greeting the folks. It was so nice to meet fellow Gaspesians again. I hope that you will continue to plan get togethers. Have a great summer.

Hey guys,

Thought some of you might be interested in a blog I have started up on life of my friend's father, Erskine Morris, who was an old time fiddler from the Gaspé. We have a bunch of recordings of his playing that we will be posting as well as anecdotes, pictures, and whatever else we can think of.

The site is:

http://gaspefiddle.blogspot.com/

He played some pretty incredible stuff, mostly just fiddle and clogging with his feet. Many of these are tunes that are almost certainly local to the Gaspé. Myself and Erskine's son are working to preserve this music. All the music you you can stream or download from the blog.

Feel free to subscribe using GoogleReader or any other aggregator. We will be posting something once or twice a week. Comments on the blog are welcome!

Cheers,

Glenn

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone out there in the Gaspe has video footage or pictures of the 1984 Wakeham Homecoming. I'm working with my friend whose dad was a fiddler from Douglastown. We are doing a project about his life, music, and the culture he grew up in. His name was Erskine Morris. His son reckons there was probably someone with a camera present and if so, there is a chance there is footage with the father and son playing fiddle and guitar there. Also, if anyone knew Erskine, has photos, videso, tapes, stories, etc. I would love to hear from you.

Please feel free to pass this request on to friends and family,

Thanks for your help,

Glenn

This is the first letter from Liz Ballins who with her friend Theresa Joseph, both retired nurses from Pointe Ste. Pierre, currently in Uganda.

We are having a fantastic time here in Uganda. So great I don't know where to begin. My sister Bridget and John decided that we ought to spend the winter with them, not rent a place nearby! as not having a car would have made it too difficult. Their house on a clear day has a good view of Lake Victoria,..Bridge has worked hard in the garden and in less than a year it looks lovely. The monkeys come for the ripening bananas that Bridge planted last year and also the mangoes. This morning a vervet monkey was checking his reflection in our bedrroom window inches from my bed!

When we arrived Mama guinea was sitting on eggs, unfortunately they hatched on a rainy day when we were on safari and so several died right away and then a hawk made lunch of several more, Now the remaining 2 chicks are about 12 days old and are in a run that we made before Christmas. Only 2 chicks but as Theresa optimistically points out 'twice as many as last year!'

Before Christmas Theresa and I helped Bridge and the EWA ladies (Entebbe Womens Association) with their Christmas party for orphans and vulnerable children living not too far away. This entailed Bridge going to their village and piling them all into her SUV. There was one other vehicle so 2 trips and everyone had arrived. I was amazed at their cheery singing and grateful little hearts. There were 60 in all. The EWA ladies had cooked up traditional food, Matoke (unripe banana, posho (cooked cornmeal) beans, cabbage dodo (Ugandan spinach )and for a treat chicken. After the feast we played games and before piling the children back into the cars to go back to their village gave each a plastic bowl,and cup filled with candy. They all bobbed their little curtsies and were so happy with their special day.

On Christmas day we were 12 for dinner here, with 3 cooks in the kitcken, (Bridge, Theresa and I) and preparation the day before it was not much work at all. We made it a real English Chrristmas with crackers and plum pudding (compliments of Gracie!...thanks again Gracie)...yes, we carried cranberry sauce, mincemeat etc. from Canada!!
We had a lovely time and encouraged all the guests to be gone by 8pm in order to get an early start on Boxing day.

Bridge and John had planned an 8 day safari. Our first stop though being at a rural village where we are sponsoring 10 orphans. We'd been to market and bought the boys ,T' shirts and girls dresses or skirts as well as age appropriate Ugandan story books , math review books etc, skipping ropes and soccer ball.(We wanted the kids to review their reading and math before returning to school for the new school year)..we put them all in boarding school, $100:00 /term. This way they get one hot meal a day and don't have to walk miles looking for wood for cooking etc. We felt bad that we hadn't bought clothes for the 12 or so other children anyway we did have candy for everyone...The children were so shy..we'd wrapped the gifts and they weren't sure about opening the packages!! all the clothes fit! and before leaving they insisted on us taking a big bag of mangoes from their tree.They have so little but are very generous with what they have.
Stephen Lewis Fdn has helped them build a water tank and given them goats and chickens which are already bringing in a little income for them. We have so much in Canada, and there is so much poverty here.Uganda's population is 30million..if every Canadian family helped one Ugandan family their lives would be dramatically changed.

After seeing our sponsored kids we continued along dusty,dreadfully bumpy roads to our first camp. The thatched cottages were on a hillside all hidden so you felt like you were alone, with a verandah looking over the National Park. We went game drives morning and evening and saw all kinds of antelope... zebra, topi, impala, ealand etc. and a few buffalo + all sorts of birds and eagles. Bridget is an avid 'birder' and we had to stop for every possible new species.!! Back at camp there was a pool, Uganda is on the Equator and it gets quite hot!...better not complain with you at -10C !! ha!ha! After 2 nights at Mahingo Lodge we continued to Inshasha Wilderness Camp.

Inshasha camp was right on the river..this time it was a tented camp, with indoor loo for nighttime. Our instructions for the night were to .." only blow the whistle for illness or ants" (If an army of Soldier ants walks through your tent and you can't get away, they make short work of you!!...I knew that from when I was a child. ( Remember I lived in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe) ..an African prisoner was yelling and carrying on in his cell and noone went to check and in the morning only bones were left!...If we heard hippo walking around or lions or leopard to stay in the tent and do nothing!!..no way were we to leave the tent after our chaperone had left us safely there...there were coleman lanterns along all the pathways and really it was very safe. One night a leopard woke me early in the morning with his roaring..I was told that he was having an argument with some baboons! Theresa and I saw our first colubus (black and white ) monkeys when were having our early morning tea outside our tent before our early morning game drive. Inshasha was great for animals . We saw a leopard sleepinng in a tree within a few minutes of entering the park...but did notget a good photo as it was a little too far away and you can get fined $150:00 for leaving the trail unless you are with a park warden. We saw ellies, again not too close, but with my new camera took some good pictures, a big herd of buffalo were crossing the road and another group wallowing in the mud! On an afternoon drive with warden we saw 3 lion, one sleeping in one tree and 2 in another. These lions like to check out what's for dinner from the vantage of a tree top, big old fig trees they like best!..this time we got several good photos. On another afternoon walk, the warden took us along the river and we encountered a huge huddle of hippos cooling off in the river. Mostly they stay in the water during the day and come out to munch on grass at night.
The dining room was set up along the river bank with a good view of the river...yellow and black weaver birds were busy with their nest building..hundreds of nests in one tree so they are aptly called Village weavers!

After 3 nights at Inshasha we continued to Ndali lodge. I will never again complain about our roads..it was a good thing we had a proper 4 wheel drive and new tires! the roads were mostly uneven tracks with rocks everywhere.On the drive to Ndali we first saw a huge troup of baboons hogging the road and not in any hurry to make way for us. I, with my camera always handy took some sweet photos of them with their babies riding piggy-back.....Then turning another corner John had to jam on anchors as a herd of cow ellies were in the middle of the road nursing their babies... a car came from the other direction and the Mama ellies were not pleased at being hemmed in..they were trumpeting and flapping their ears at us. Bridget was in front..."John reverse up, I said reverse , reverse NOW!" actually it was a bit scary, but amazibg to see them so close, especially the little ones having a mid-morning snack!

Ndali lodge was built on the top of an old crater and definitely worth the hairraising drive. The cottages with their thatched roofs , and the old fashioned hot water system (44gallon drum over a wood fire) was exactly the way we heated our water on our farm (Arcadia-Paradise). Even the dogs came and curled up under our table when we were having early morning tea on the cottage verandah. I almost shed a tear with all the memories that came flooding back.There were 2 views from the top of the crater. On the breakfast verandah we overlooked a beautiful crater lake and the swimmingpool side had a lovely view of Ugandan smallholdings growing matoke, corn, cassava tea etc.with the Rwenzori mountains in the distance.On New year's Eve we were 20 guests with Aubrey the owner and his Ugandan wife, Clare....many corners of the globe were represented, hailing from Russia, Italy, Sweden, England and of course Canada. Aubreys grandfather owned the property years ago, but when Idi Amin kicked all the foreigners out he had to leave. The present president Museveni invited all the Asians and everyone who still had deeds to their land back. Now tourism is booming and the Asians are back setting up businesses too. We all sat at one long table and had dinner by candlelight just like when I was a child! and back in the cottage we had a coleman lantern which we left in the bathroom for some light during the night.(Much of rural Uganda still is without electricity)After 2 relaxing days at Ndali we came back to Entebbe.

This past wednesday at EWA we brought about 10 orphan children to EWA for the day and gave them one on one math, English, Social studies and Religon review. The govt puts out "holiday" package so the children can review and not forget everything during the long Christmas break. Well, we didn't study all day some of the kids were quite young ...I had Sadik a 9 year old Muslim boy I was suprised at how well he read.In the afternoon we played games that involved remebering new words and learning to spell them.

When Bridget took the kids back to the village she found one of their aunties (Margaret) lying on a mat in the hut. She had fallen, and was c/o awful pain around her ankle.....So instead of being home by 5p.m. as planned, she spent another 4 hours getting her admitted to the local Catholic mission hospital. By the time the paper work was done, Amos the x-ray tech had gone home. ...Boy, we'd better not complain about our health services. Each patient must have their own attendant, who brings food, washing up bowl and bedding!...So back to Margaret's hut to collect Irene 15years and supplies!....Next morning (THurs) the 3 musketeers and an EWA interpreter Shallon went back out to the hospital ...To cut a long story short the xray was done that day..and Margaret had a fractued fibula. The doc set it on Friday. We thought she'd be ready for discharge Sat. afternoon! BUT we had to get the crutches and all the suppliers were closed for the weekend.!!!.... health care is not free like in Canada so poor Margaret was very upset about the hospitalization until we assured her we were taking care of it. She said "but what can I give you to thank you, I have nothing but Jesus , so I will give you Jesus".!! The folk here are nearly all faithful Christians, the granny in the next bed was having her attendant read from a well worn Bible. This morning Bridget left at 0830 to get crutches and take Margaret home...it's 1200 and shee's not back yet...patience is something you had better have in Uganda as everything works in slow motion.

Well I'll end here, watch the slippery roads everyone .
Love from us both Liz and Theresa.

Further to my message of a few weeks ago re Sears L.D. telephone plan. I have since found out that in December 07, Sears changed their 'Easy Talk 1000' plan to 'Easy Talk 2000', thus doubling the amount of talk time for the same price $19.95/mo. There was no advice sent to regular Sears account holders. Apparently they did away with the 1000 minute plan. However in December 08, they reinstated the 'Easy Talk 1000' for $9.95/mo for new customers but did nothing for the unsuspecting customers who were still paying $19.95/mo.
Today, Sears have agreed to reimburse me for this overcharge, retroactive to Dec. 08. As I have two telephones under this plan it is a significant amount for me. They stated today that they were most anxious to resolve this problem with customers so anyone who has had the same experience may reach this department at 1-800-511-5111. Good luck. Adair

I was sad to hear that this may be the last year of the Gaspe Hawks basketball team. Many thanks To Pat for all of his hard work and dedication throught out he years.

I think that the idea of selling t-shirts is great and all former player should buy one.

Good luck to this years team, make the Hawk name proud.

To Winnie Fournier's family:

So sorry to hear of Winnie's passing. She was a dear soul and we enjoyed visiting with her when we went east to visit my Mom and Dad (Thomas and Esther Miller). Winnie had a gentle spirit and a great sense of humor and that made for a great combination.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
