Hi Bill,
I enjoyed reading your collection of Almonte stories. All the world’s a stage. If I might make a little correction to one of the Graham tales, my dad never owned the drugstore down by John Kerry’s establishment. That one was owned by Wilf Snedden until he retired The business was taken over by Darcy Farden, who probably bought the building as well, although I can’t say for sure. My dad’s store was at 66 Mill St, and on his retirement he sold the business to Darcy Farden. Dad owned the building, and I don’t know who bought that. Maybe Farden. The next tenant was The Hub, which seems unlikely to have owned the building itself.
