I am trying to make contact with Mary Kary Macfarlane who was my pen pal while we were at school and in the late 60/70s. I lived in Forfar in Scotland and got married in 1973. I now have a son and daughter and live in Dunkeld, Perthshire - the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Mary Kay lived at Wellington Street and would be aged 61 - 62 now. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Really enjoyed these photos. I grew up in Wallaceburg as a kid and still have family there. I go visit at least once a year. The Oaks Inn there had a lot of nice old photos. I will try to get some pics and send to you to post.

Thanks

I lived in W'burg from '53 to '63. Family immigrated from the Netherlands when I was 4 and got restless again, moved to California. These pictures bring back a lot of memories. We lived behind the Wallaceburg News (then Yazbeck's Grocery Store). Would go to sleep on summer nights listening to the Chinese chatter from the cooks at Ing's Grill. That house is long gone. Used to go down to the S. River in the summers to catch carp and tie up mooring lines for the yachties from the U.S. Once met a butler on one of those boats who was from Holland and knew an aunt and uncle of mine who lived in the same town in NL! Small world. Decades after leaving, a longtime colleague who I'd known for more than 10 years told me he had spent his summers there as a kid. His uncle was the music teacher in the public schools and I had had him as a teacher. OOOOEEEEOOOO!

My mother and uncle were raised here. I remember as a kid in the early 70s, going to Cozy Corners with my Grandfather, "Huck" Bishop, to catch up on the news of the day with all of his friends, coming home and then going out in the field on the tractor. He'd let me steer now and then. I loved spending time with him.

I really appreciated seeing these pictures. I returned there in September of 2005, after 20 years of being away. It looked a lot less bleak than these pictures portray, but then the leaves were on the trees. One thing I found odd, was that the pictures were from a significant distance, where is actuality the streets are quite narrow, there are more trees and greenery everywhere, and there were no pictures of the bridges, schools, library, or cemetery. I noticed when I went back, Cozy Corner is still there though, so is Charlie 7s.

I used to come to Wallaceburg and spend time with my grandma when i was a young girl, probably in the late 50's. I am shocked to see all these boarded up buildings. Has the town folded up? from anne conway - my email address is anne1179@hotmail.com
