Marcella Nettie Korchinski nee Ron (1935 - 2009)

Even though Marcy didn't really have an attic, the posthumous discovery of numerous boxes containing uncatalogued photographs (many of them hidden under beds) suggest that she might have stored these archival treasures in a dusty attic for sorting out "one day." That day has arrived!

Much of the material is mysterious to me, and all of it needs to be organized. Family comments are not only welcome, they are vital to this project. I thank you for your input in advance!

To assist you (and me), I have also started a family tree. It is far from complete, but this link will take you to my page at Family Echo: FAMILY TREE (Just email me if you need the password, I didn't want to publish it here.)

Due to the nature of blogging (and sorting through archives), there is no apparent order to these entries. If you prefer to search through the photos and documents in a logical way, please refer to the search options on the right.


June 1959 - Stan at the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway

Stan is in the middle here. Who are the other two (they look like sailors)? I have more than one copy of this photograph. One of them has the following hand-written on the back, "Opening of St Lawrence Seaway, 1959, Queen E." According to the online Canadian Encyclopedia, the official opening took place on June 26, 1959, attended by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, president Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Queen Elizabeth II.
