What a nice surprise it was to receive an email from a fellow author. Hugh McCord has recently published a book called "Personal Reflections of Ottawa Past" which is a collection of 32 short stories about Ottawa in the 40's and 50's. The main stories are of Henry Birks and Sons; The Ottawa Journal where I took my apprenticeship in 1957; The Famous Rideau Club; The Capitol Theatre; Hope's Bookstore; Charles Ogilvy's; The old Windsor Hotel and many more.
Hugh’s wife purchased my book and Hugh noticed the name of a Miss McCord who taught at SS No.11 in Goulbourn in the thirties. He is interested in finding out if she was related to his family of McCord's where his Dad (Harold McCord) was born on Tenth Line Huntley in 1910. Hugh’s grandfather was James McCord who later moved to Stittsville and finally to Kars, Ontario. He was the Warden and Reeve of Carleton County during the 1920's and was Sunday School Superintendent at that time, probably in Kars. His son Cameron's wife, Laura McCord was principal at Kars Public School for many years. If anyone has information to help Hugh find out more about his family history, please respond to my blog.
