TILL WE MEET AGAIN
By Sal Grippaldi

This picture hangs on the wall of our local tavern.
It shows a boat loading coal in the 1940s.

On the upper right hand corner of the picture,
the large bank head with the wheel on top,
was of course, the slope to the mine where small
coal cars were hauled up out of the mine and dumped.

The pay office on the Hill (which Dennis talks about),
is part of my back yard and I have a deck
on the original foundation.

The small building below was to house the little steam engine
(shunt) that hauled the coal cars that loaded at the trussel.

Right: Regis is Annie Regis Jessome now widow of the late Walter Day, they were Dennis'
second mother and father as he's so fond of saying... he's always been a part of the family.
Regis' birthday coming up...March 27, 1908.

This is a picture taken April 23rd, 2004, our mom and dad's 75 wedding anniversary. Dennis, of course,
flew home from Ontario to surprise them on their special day, and entertained us with his fiddle music
as he always does.

When we lost dad, in April of last year, Dennis came home again for the funeral.
He never forgets a friend.

she displayed her candy and she used to close them every night.

The board across was where the used to put the porch up every winter.
