Guy, do You remember when I started Grade One in 1957; we had just moved into the basement of the new house on the farm, just south of Dollard, kitty-corner from Ben and Doris Poisson's, just before Winter; and after the first snow that Fall- about 12 inches of fresh snow covered our trail through Auger's Slough- and You walked in front of me, dragging Your feet to break the trail for Your little brother as we walked to school. That is one of my first memories, Guy.
Another memory was at the School Christmas Concert in the Dollard Hall in 1957, on stage singing harmony with You as You sang Your first song about a "...wal-eyed broom tailed bay...". I cannot remember the song anymore. It had a beautiful melody, Guy. You taught me to sing with You, to sing harmony to that song. Mr. Robert Desautels was the Master of Ceremonies and He placed a chair (one of those molded wood ply back and seat chairs riveted to a round tubular steel frame- state of the art for Dollard Hall at the time) for me to stand on to reach the mic.
So many things, Big Brother, You did for me over the years! Thank You for being my Brother. I LOVE You and I miss You, Guy. :) LOVE, Marcel.
