After the war, they got together and were married at the Dufferin. Presbyterian Church in Toronto on Sept. 20, 1947. They spent their honey- moon at Niagara Falls, but ` .it was a little more conlpli-, Ycated than just getting a room at the nearest hotel. "When .we got there, we found that there was a convention being held: and that there was no place for us," said Clare. "The hotel manager said that they may be able to find ' a pri- vate house for us to stay. They did "find a place for us to stay, and the woman who owned it was. very nice. When we were ready to leave; she didn't want us to pay." After Clare returned from Europe,..he. Worked in a furniture factory and at the Ooderich :Salt Mines and Anna worked at Cowan's Restaurant (now Kwans' Chinese Restaurant) and at Hamilton's Restaurant. They have two chit- then, Hugh and his wife Bev and Helen and .her husband Robert. They each have two kids and. bothlive in London. "We have, had our up. and downs, but we've had a happy life and a good family," said Anna: .
