My Friendship with David and the Clark family goes back over 80 years. I can recall when the family moved from Thames St to 39 Burnside Rd(now Memorial Drive) to the beautiful character home. I stayed with David in the bedroom, above the detached double garage and the first night I could not sleep because of the opossums on the roof. David went into law I to accountancy. Lots of good family memories. Alan Finch Apt 202 Cashmere Village.
