Who is from Canada?

Better yet, from British Columbia!

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
My mother was born in Quebec, as well as most of my relatives on her side of the family in her generation.  She was born in Montreal and grew up in Quebec City until her teens, when she moved to Brooklyn, NY.  Didn't speak a word of English, so she got left back two years, but by the time she finished secretarial school, her first employer sent her back for remedial language training because her English had too much of a BROOKLYN accent!  I guess being a Brooklynite is like having a "Brooklyn retrovirus" - once it gets into your system, you never quite lose it!

Been to Quebec to see relatives a lot as a preschooler, only once as an adult and that was for a family reunion WAAAAAY north in Quebec near a place called Lac Claire - the family kept a cabin there.

I just went looking for it on a map, Lac Claire.  Just my luck, there's SEVERAL "Lac Claire" in Quebec - it translates as "clear lake".  There's also a "Lac à l'Eau Claire" near the Hudson Bay - translates as "clearwater lake", it's a pair of connected lakes created by meteor impact.

Seek and ye shall find - ask around if there are fellow British Columbians that would be interested.  Wouldn't hurt to check the Seattle-Tacoma area, either.

Join 52 Plus Joker as well - better chance of finding interested people.
