More Infor. About Early GPKer's

Dear John,
I do not know much about my Mother's side of the family, but I
will be glad to tell you what I know. My grandparents are Albert Gregory and
Mabel Sawyer Gregory and came from Liverpool and Sally Oaks, England. My
grandfather was a carpenter for the CNR and my grandma was a
housewife.
When living in Greenfield Park, they lived on both Murray and
Third Steets (In Perras' homes). My Grandpa was always interested in having all
the latest of new things like radios and cars. He was a very stern and
strict English man from the Victoria era. Whenever he arrived home from
work, all of the children had to be silent. No one could play cards or games
on Sunday. There was no talking at the dinner table. When my father,
Wilfred,was courting my mother,Jessie, and stayed too long at
night, my Grandpa use to rattle the stove pipes to give him the signal to
leave.
My Aunt Edna thinks they always just rented homes in the park. After
my grandfather died, my Grandma lived with us on Fairfield Avenue
until she died in about 1954. Their children were: Thelma Gregory Treboutat,
Jessie Gregory Heavyside, Harry Heavyside, Jack Heavyside and David
Heavyside.

In your book, you or someone mentioned Johnny Treboutat on his
motorcycle. That is my cousin. His parents, Thelma and John
Treboutat,visited us in California. I took Uncle Johnny, his father,
shopping and helped him spend $500 within an hour. Once when I was visiting
them, my Uncle Johnny's advise to his son was: "Don't take her shopping."
My cousin Johnny did take me out on one of my trips to Canada to some
special and very nice nightclubs in Montreal. He use to live in a marvelous
and modern home in St. Bruno. It has been years since I have heard from any
of the Gregory family. Uncle David was always a favorite uncle and I was pleased to see him in your book. He was the first GFP soldier to return from World War II due to being shot in his leg or somewhere in his body. He passed away several years ago. He was a favorite brother of my mother and good friend
of my Uncle Bert Heavyside.

Till later,
Joy Heavyside Westlund
