ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book was made possible through the financial support of the National Literacy Secretariat. It was realized, as well, through the collective input of various people interested in preserving our history and culture. In particular, I wish to extend thanks to the representatives from the Seniors Connection, St. CatherineÕs Academy and Health and Community Services. As mem- bers of St. JosephÕs Literacy Network, your knowledge and interest gave this project direction and focus. To the Staff of Health and Community Services, Eastern Region-St. Joseph's office: for allowing the use of office space for meetings and workshops. To the learners/interviewers for your dedication to this project in meeting and exceed- ing our Literacy objectives: Rosalind Philpott, Mary Dobbin, Ann Marie Reardon, Brenda Kielley, Mary Ryan, Joan Downey, John Downey, Carol Ann Nolan, Sharon McEvoy, Lindsay Hynes. Sincere thanks to Brenda Kielley, my very competent transcriber and invaluable assis tant. Your professionalism, organization and expertise throughout this project were the driving force behind us all. A special thanks to the seniors in each community who so willingly shared their personal life experiences and historical remembrances. Your sincere "from the heart" storytelling will be treasured and enjoyed. I want to thank all those who have so generously submitted pictures for inclusion in this book. We hope you enjoy this random depiction of people, places and events throughout the area from North Harbour to Admirals Beach. SENIORS |
