Bunny and family

Luckily both Denise and Bev chimed in on this one. I think that I am the little one my mom is holding, so my first-hand recollections are nil. Bunny's family was visiting from Manitoba, so it was an event out of the ordinary for them. 

This is Bunny, Nell, Denise, me and Mom in the back row; Karen, John and Bev in the front. Denise thought maybe their older brother George was the cameraman, as my dad had to go to work that day. Beverly remembered that they went to see Grampa Roy who was not well; he died in 1964, I believe. Maybe baby Cedar was asleep, not yet born, crying off-screen, who knows!

 

Jumping forward to the 1970s

I finally make an appearance here! 

This is five de Bruyns, and I would guess we are about to go on a journey. There's a box of groceries on the top of the yellow Volvo station wagon we had for a short time. Probably we were on our way to the cottage. 

Left to right we are Mary, John, Cedar in front, Betty, Jan. Apparently this was August, 1974, at our house on 35th Avenue. 

 

Last of Frank

This is in the back yard at our house on 35th. Frank, John and Jan. 

The date on the print in July 1961, and Frank died on July 17 in a mountain climbing accident. 

There are a couple of mentions of Frank's death in the online world including on the Wikipedia page about Mount Garibaldi, and this one about accidents in Canada.
