Mum was 41 when I was born in August of 1946. Mum and Dad married in December of 1944, on the day of the worst snow storm that Toronto ever had, up to that point. Dad was a WW 1 Canadian soldier, who survived 3 years in France as a machine gunner. He was born on a farm in western Ontario in 1899. Mum was born in 1905 in west London in the UK. She came to Canada in 1928, age 23. Growing up he was often thought to be my Grand Father because he was a generation older than he should have been. When I was 16 he was already retired at age 65.
