Sue G., Bert N., Shirley B.

July 4, 2011

I had a very nice afternoon with Sue G.  Although caring for her aging parents was the main reason for Sue to move back to Pouch Cove after living away for 15 some years, the sea is something that she has to look at everyday.

We saw a whale when we were up on the deck and Sue commented, "...  there weren't many whales when I was growing up because of fishing ... there were too many nets in the water ..."

Her friend Bert N. was a fisherman.  He showed us the "twine store" where he stores his nets.  He was one of the few fishermen did not sell his fishing license back to the government.  He has other people fish for him these days.  Bert suffered two strokes few years back.

Had a short visit with Shirley B.  Quote from Shirley today is ".... I would like to see the children growing up today ... they will be more closer to their neighbours and their friends than what they are today ...."

When we talked about Igor, Shirley said she had seen much worse storm in the past.  She related an incident in the past that claimed one life.
