Anyone interested in setting up a Franklin River website, probably a page on facebook, please email me at colleengatenby@yahoo.ca. Mark, I phoned your mom to let her know my mother had passed away and it was an incredible conversation. She hasn't lost one drop of her sense of humor or zest for life. You are so lucky to still have her--treasure every moment.
I was thrilled to find this and can't believe I missed it for so long. Colleen Gatenby here. We lived in Franklin and Camp A until 1960 and I have incredible memories of living there. What a rich experience. I have often wanted to set up a Franklin River web site??? Anyone interested?
@2gatenby Good to hear from you Colleen. I see your brother Dave occasionally. Glad you like the video. I have more to post when I have time. I'd love to see a Franklin River website.
Mark: this is so awesome, saw my Mom, older brother and younger sister on this. Will look closer when I have more time to look think I saw my younger brother at the birthday party too. We lived in Franklin between 56 and 63. I am Brian Bennett son of Marcella & Norm Bennett. Did my grade 1 through 6 in that schoolhouse
I doubt it was the summer of 59. I was born July 30/59 and I see my Mom in the video. She's not pregnant and it doesn't look like she recently had a baby. Considering I was her 5th, I don't think that she would bounce back into shape too quickly.
@smczim Your probably right on that. The first clips are my sisters birthdays and she is a year or two older in the second clip so these could have occurred between 59 and 61. we moved to Port in 64.
