His wife Florence drives from their fine home every day to visit him. On a recent visit I took his hand and said something like "Harold, it was 72 years ago that we started in High School in Lucknow. You were the only boy in that school able to play the piano. It was not long til you had a quartet, your brother Stanley, Harold Freeman and Sandy Nicholson. Do you remember that?" "Of course 'I do," washis reply. Harold's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Burns had a comfortable house near the station. They had a few acres of land across the street and kept some cows to get LOOKING extra income so they could give their four boys as good an education as possible. Lucknow had no milk delivery at that time. Five pound lard '. pails were used. They got five cents a pail for the milk. Mr. Burns worked about 40 years in the Lucknow Furniture Factory. They all worked from 7 a.m. till 6 p.m. with an hour off at noon. There were no holidays with pay or pay if you were sick. Mr. Burns never missed a day on account of sickness and never took a holiday. The boys all received a High School educatin and Harold is the only one living.
