Alameda- Nazi eye on Canada 1942
My dad made a tape of this Orson Welles radio show from 1942 which features the people of Alameda. Dad sent it to Cork. We just listened to the tape and I found this online copy.

Blakeney, Pakenham, Almonte Ontario
I drove from Almonte to Pakenham stopping in to visit Marilyn Snedden and take a tour with her.
Marilyn's home is is about half way to Pakenham. She lives in her family farm house.
Next on this tour is the old one-room schoolhouse.
The Cedar Hill Schoolhouse is where Maggie attended school between arriving in Canada in 1901 and leaving for Saskatchewan in 1908.
You can see a bit more about the schoolhouse here:
This is an old barn on the side of the road.
The area where Maggie lived is very beautiful farmland and I'm sure it hasn't changed much in the last 100 years since she left there.
Next on the tour is Blakeney and Pakenham.
