Watson’s Mill in Manotick was the site of an interesting exchange of one-room stories by former teachers, students and me. In attendance were Coral Lindsay and her sister, Melanie Hayes. They both attended S.S. No. 1 North Gower and claimed they were the best school years of their lives! Coral’s story can be found on pages 139 & 140 of my book.
William Shauls from Kars, Ontario attended S.S. No. 4 North Gower and then S.S. No. 2 North Gower from 1960-1966. He said it was lots of fun with the interaction between the grades. Students all played together regardless of age.
Michael Doré is the owner of S.S. No. 1 Osgoode, also known as Davidson’s School, 1647 River Road in Manotick. He promised to send me pictures and information about this school so I can add it to my website.
Alison Whitlock & Pat Hopkins bought and renovated S.S. No. 4 Osgoode, 6631 Herbert’s Corners Road, Greely in 1994. After operating a floral nursery business in the former school, they sold the property in 2004. For further information about the school, look on page 34 of my book.
It was fun going down memory lane with other people in the audience too. Thanks go out to Cam Trueman for inviting me and sending out a well-written media release, and to John Cybanski (sound specialist for Orpheus Musical Theatre Society) for recording my lecture. It will be posted on-line soon.
