about the early days
The following letter was received
recently by Gordon Gibson . of
Wroxeter: It was written by David
Aitchison, who worked for Mr.
Gibson some 40 years ago. He now
resides in MacDiarmid, Ont.
Dear Gordon,
I heard it said on the radio this
morning, that you are 90 years old. I
don't expect you to remember me, I
worked for you in the summer of '48
if my memory hasn't slipped a cog.
One of the jobs we did was the
bridge over the Maitland River in
Gorrie. We used my jeep to drive a
pump to keep the . water out of a
coffer dam.
There was a storekeeper named
Cliff Cook and two brothers named
Hanna and my brother Jeff drove
your truck. I can see the faces of
your "straw -boss and several other
men, but I am sorry I can't recall
their names.
There was still an old-fashioned
blacksmith shop in Gorrie (owned
by Jim Shera) and also a museum.
The museum owner, Herb Neil, had
made a working model of a human
hand that went through the motions
of milking a cow.
Would you say there has been
quite a few pails of water flowed
through under the bridges during the
40 years since then?
Wishing you all the best for a long
time yet.
David A. Aitchison
