I grew up on Arlington Street in the 1950’s-1960’s and Ernie, Muriel, and their daughter Barbara lived next door to us. I remember Ernie and the Family as quiet and friendly people who looked after their home and property well. Ernie and my Dad sometimes helped each other in yard work. If Barbara reads this I just want to say “Hello” and that I remember you, your Mom and Dad on Arlington Street. - Posted by: Graham Reynolds (Former Neighbour) on: Dec 12, 2024
