I will always treasure the years I lived in NEWFOUNDLAND. The kids I went to school with were exceptional people, and the wonderful people of NEWFOUNDLAND welcomed us, and treated us like family. I have uploaded my yearbooks and added some photos from that time.

The “Harmon Rocket, 1962” in its entirety.

The original content of this page has been divided into two parts.

The first half is the class photos, and shows all the classes from kindergarten to twelfth grade.

The second half is the activities of the high school students.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this loads much faster than before.

Also as of 6-10-13 I have added the 1961 Rocket in its entirety.

This seems like a good place to put all of my personal photos from Newfoundland.

These photos were taken in 1976, when my folks made a return trip to Newfoundland. These are Newfie kids, with St. Georges in the background.      These are children of my friends.

I recently reconnected with my dear friend, Anita Cutler/Hinks.(4-18-16) She has provided the names of the girls and boys in the following photos.

                                       

The girls on bikes were the daughters of Bob and Neatha (nee Major) Cutler, who owned the store on Cutler's Hill. The girl in white, on the left, is Peggy Cutler Thomas. She and Anita are close friends. The name of the other girl is Tina Cutler Durnford.

The boys on the top step are (Back L- R) Wade Swyer and Melvin Sears. The boys on the lower level are (Front L-R) Frank Cutler, Barry Brake, Troy Rilea.

I have been waiting for four years for someone to help me identify these folks. Thank you Anita!

 

Anita was my very first girlfriend. It is easy to see why I fell in “love at first sight”. Here are some scans of 8mm movie film.

    

 

 

I was able to add this photo today. (4-6-16)                                 These were taken in late 1962 after I had returned to the states.

 

            

              The folks visited Dave Cutler in Mainland, Canada on this trip.                                                                              Church ladies                             My granny with the church people.

And last of all, my favorite place, “Camp 33”. This is where Richard McCray lost his life, fishing with his dad. It was a very sad time at school. The black and white photo was added on 5/26/16, after I found it in www.petesmemories.com/bunch9 . It was mixed with other photos that I was unable to identify.

         misc

 

I have temporarily uploaded a chapter from my autobiography, entitled, “Newfoundland”.

Find it at http://www.petesmemories.com/memoir.html.

                                    End

I talked to my old friend David Cutler on the phone today. 4-6-16

Looking forward to reconnecting!
