OUR CHRONOLOGICAL PAST

DOUG'S FAMILY

The occasion was the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The year was 1939 and our family stood at the CPR station in Oshawa. We later travelled to Toronto to see them again at the bottom of the street where our Ross grandparents lived. WWII was about to break out.

The family at their new home at 22 Alexander Boulevard in the Westmount District of Oshawa, Ontario. [The name would be changed to Grenfell Street after it was annexed to the city.]

We spent our 1945 holiday at the Ross cottage in Waldemar (west of Orangeville), and attended the next Annual Ross Reunion after WWII at Pike Lake in Minto.
