| Whitehorse, Yukon |
She didn't marry till late in life (to a man she called Cookie), and she travelled quite a bit in Europe while nursing during World War II, and brought back a number of things that have been passed down in the family, first to her sister Annie May Jones (my great-grandmother), then to my little Grandma Doris and her sister my Aunt Jean (who remained single) and their brother Uncle Bob (bachelor to his dying day), then to Mom and her three siblings, and to their kids, who include me and my sisters.
I have the honour of caring for her photographs and postcards of life in the Yukon, though she died long before I was born.
I can only say for sure that Aunt Alma nursed in the Mayo area.
If you click on these images, they should enlarge.
Did Aunt Alma spend her free time canoeing on the river? There are a number of natural scenery pictures, which I haven't scanned. Could people take day trips on the paddlewheelers?
