Bev, sorry for the detail in answering your request. I've been at my mom's helping her with my step-father.
I would like to share a funny memory that my mother shared with me about her train trip. While travel across this great and large country, she saw many signs saying "For Sale". My mother only spoke French at the time and she thought to herself, "boy those home must be very dirty to have signs saying For Sale". You see 'Fort Sale' in French means "Very Dirty".

War brides everywhere,

I invite each of you to share a memory with me of your train journey in the
1940s en route to your new home.

The reason I ask is that I will be giving several slide (or digital)
presentations onboard the train
as I retrace your rail journey from Halifax westward. Now, 60 years later, I
would like to share your words, memories, or pictures - especially train or
platform photos - with other passengers.

I hope to hear from many of you, and thanks for considering this special
request.

Bev Tosh
