I remember as a very young child taking what seemed to be such a long drive with my parents to McGrath's Mountain to visit with cousin jimmy and family .
Back in those days, early 1950's, The Mountain was by 'regular' rural standards considered to be very isolated!
At that time even in Merigomish, I personally do not remember anyone having the luxury of indoor plumbing!
We knew what we knew and that was that!
I remember the wonderful warmth and hospitality : the delicious meals prepared by Aunt Catherine and Therasa .
Suppers lit by oil lamps and neighbors entertaining everyone with fiddle and banjo music.
Rest in peace jimmy and thanks for the memories!
Cousin Eric
