My grandfather attended Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. In 1906 he took this photo of three of his classmates having tea in their dorm room.

Fabulous photo Laurie, I love the robes and the biscuit container.

Thanks, Alexis. I didn't notice that the box was a biscuit tin. I bet these young men would have been in awe of your grandmother and her friends!

Bet the girls would like them. They are good looking, and they would be the same age.

Answer 2

The little girl on the right side of the photo is my mother, Milagros Gila Hernández. The other girl is her best friend. Her mum and my grandmother met when they both where pregnants and became friends. So did their little girls and, they're still: they where neighbours, classmates, and she is my sister's godmother.

The photo was taken in 1952 and the little boy is my mum's cousin.

Sisters and best friends, Isabel and her younger sister Helen. They spent their whole lives together, living in the same home with their parents. When they entered a retirement home, they chose rooms across the hall from each other, so they never had to be apart.  

Comments

Wonderful story Alex with friends like that

Answer 7

This photo is one of my Grandmother Estele (MacDonald) Flamer (on right) and her best friend, whose name I don't know. I just love their dresses

Comments

Gorgeous photo of your grandmother and her friend I love there outfit they look adorable

Answer 8

Here is my mother on a motorcycle, a conveyance I can't imagine her ever being on! She's with two fellows who must have been friends with her at the time, but whose names I've never heard her mention. I tried looking them up, but I don't find records for them: George Le Pouef and Walter Gibson. I post this in case there are relatives of her friends who are looking for them.

It appears she was spending her usual summer vacation at St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada. Her father worked as a private chauffeur for a family that had a summer home in St. Andrews. So the whole family enjoyed the cool breezes there.

Comments

your mother seems to enjoy herself wonderful photo of your mother and her two friends I hope you will find out who they are

Thank You for sharing

Answer 9

I row a quad scull with these three guys- we have won 1st place at many 4,000 meter races despite  our average age of 66.

Answer 10

This is me with my service dog, Greta, ten years ago. She was only three years old then, and very well trained. I trained her myself, from my wheelchair. She was adopted at 5 weeks old from the Houston SPCA, and became my best friend and helped me every day - she could pick ANYTHING off the floor, find my cell phone, carry things for me, and never left my side. She died, suddenly, last May. Exactly one week later, I fell transferring in my wheelchair - trying to reach for my cell phone that Greta always carried for me - and shattered my left femur, the paralyzed side of my body. 

Answer 11
