Title: Albert Brodeur Looking For Information & Syrup
Post by: Henry on December 28, 2009, 05:58:18 PM

"Henry,
Hope that your warm but when I saw the articles talking about cold I remember one day going to school and being sent home a while later, as we lived on the only route that the bus started.  I think it was Maryann's dad who was the driver if not it was Herb Webb.

If I recall at the falls in was down into the minus 40's but the year is what I am having a hard time with, but I do remember that my dad being the entertainment director , had a snow shoveling party waiting for me.

I have a question for you if one wants to add a comment to some item does it have to be sent to you? if the answer is yes it does go to you OK but if it is otherwise please keep it simple as I only know enough about these iron boxes to get myself in trouble .

I also know that its a bit early but are there any syrup producers in Fairfax that will ship the product? as we are almost out and do not have any trips north on the board for this year.

A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours and again a big thank you for running the website."
Al Brodeur"

Well, Al, I know your graduated in 1958 with Maryann, so has to be before that.  Anybody have an idea when this might have been, and also anybody have any syrup to sell still.  If so let me know and I will put you in touch with Al.
