It gives us great pleasure to continue publishing stories collected from local people that contain so much history and local flavour. Since our oral histories work began in 1998, we are now into this, the third publication. The response to our first two publications, Linking the Generations( 1998) and Our Time - Our Story( 1999) was phenomenal. Over 2000 copies altogether have been circulated around the province, across Canada and beyond. If you have already had the opportunity to read either of these publications, we hope you enjoy this one as much. Share these stories with friends and family.

The Battle Harbour Literacy Council gratefully acknowledges the work of collectors Alison Normore, Christopher Poole and Doris Roberts and to the many local informants who gave willingly of their time towards this project.
