I remember...- by Wanda Day
- Mrs. Dawson taking me home to her apartment for visits and she would teach. me to sew. - Laundry bags stored under our beds and sometimes you could feel them under your mattress. - Being snowed in for days where nothing could get in or out and Mrs. Daweson skied into the Sunshine Camp with milk for the kids. - Having to make your own bed and it had to be done well. Also if there were other patients who couldn’t make their bed or they needed help you were expected to assist them. - That when important visitors were arriving we were decked out in new dresses and shirts for the occasion and once the visitors left these clothes were promptly removed and stored for the next event! - Being down by the pond one winter and Bill Murphy going through the ice. He was in a wheel barrel and who ever was manoeuvring the wheel barrel lost their footing and the wheel barrel, with Bill in it, went through the ice. - I remember the boys would throw chocolates, over the curtain, onto the girls side of the ward and then peek around the curtain to see us in our PJ’s as we collected the chocolates! - People I remember are Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pike, Rose Dawson , Mrs. MacLeod (Social Worker), Tasker Tucker (Jack of all Trades), John Tucker (Van Driver), Annie Squires (Cook)
