Smoke fills house on Bly Street

At some point Linda, Jim and I slept in the attic room on Bly Street. I remember waking up and coughing. I could smell something burning. I turned on the light and our attic room was filled with smoke. I ran downstairs and woke mom and dad up. Dad told us to open all the windows and he went down to the furnace room. There was no fire, but I believe there was something wrong with the belt in the furnace and it was spewing out smoke. I know dad was able to take care of it and he repaired it the next day. Scary! I don’t know if Linda and Jim remember that incident.

School.  Linda started her academic career like her older siblings, by walking to kindergarten at East Street School.  The walk involved going to the bottom of Royal Street  and turning left.  The distance is about a half mile.

Following the tradition of the Hartmann family which began with Dad, she got her primary education at St. Boniface School.

Map of St Benedicts to 109 Merwood DrWhen they lived on Merwood Drive,  Linda and Terri went to St. Benedict’s Academy.  Unlike most kids today, they had to walk to school.  Uphill in the snow (both ways?). The map shows an estimated distance of about one and a quarter miles.

 

Linda stopped living on Merwood Drive upon marrying  Al “Buck” Azen on April 18, 1970.
