One nice thing about working in Wells is I meet a lot of people and everyone has a story. Last week I met a relative of Paddy Doody’s who was .Jason’s best friend in grade school. In the photo, they are the 2 little guys in the front row holding hands… so cute!! She was really interesting, she has a number of relatives in the Barkerville cemetery but the fact that she is related to Paddy Doody was really something. Paddy died at a young age of appendicitis. Jason is so cute in his jumper. At the time of the photo Jason was actually Barry, he didn’t start using Jason until his second marriage, we were surprised he is listed as Jason. There are five Curtis brothers in the photo, Barry only met his Uncle Allan and he is the only brother still alive. A lot of other famous names in this photo. I might have posted this years ago but it means more to me today now that I’ve married into the family and I know the other names better. Louie Hong was at the skihill recently so Barry met him and his wife drops off Bill Hongs book off to us at the store. Meeting Paddy Doodys relative was exciting for me. I think she was a great niece.
