Transcribed from a letter to Lyn Tremblay from Millie Bacon dated Sunday May 26, 1985:

". . . as I was the youngest, I guess I was a bit spoiled. I remember I always thought Jack (your grandpa) was special. I can remember all the boys sat on a bench at the back of the long table. I would finish eating and get a comb and climb up on the bench behind him and comb and comb his hair. Also if he found some nice berries or something special he would bring a handful home to me.
