Newsletter
Hearst (Ontario)

Fall 1996

When I finished grade 8 , I went to work in Hearst and a Cafe on Front St. I shared a room with Mary Buncko in a family home. I finally left Bradlo to go to Toronto in 1943 to get a job. I have never gone back to visit. I shall never forget Bradlo where I grew up.
