Comments: A resident of Yarmouth, Edith Amirault (formerly Edith LeBlanc), owns a fruit & vegetable stand in Yarmouth along with her brother. However this, in itself, isn't that important.

What IS important is the fact that back in app. July 1971 when I was 16 years old, I took a trip with my parents on a New York Daily News ship to pick up paper rolls. We went from New York City to Bay Comeau, Quebec and were out in the Atlantic Ocean for 3 days. I had made 3 bottles containing a message with my name, age, home address, where we left from, and where we were going. Each day I would throw once bottle overboard in the hope that somebody might find it.

In October, 1971 I received a letter back from somebody in Weymouth, Nova Scotia, (I knew NOBODY in Nova Scotia), saying that they had found my #2 bottle. That person was an 11-year-old girl named Edith LeBlanc (now Edith Amirault). Edith & I corresponded back and forth for about two years sending each other school pictures but then lost track of eack other.

Today, (November 2, 2002), I was able to locate Edith and we talked on the phone for almost 20 minutes. If any of you are casual acquaintances of her or know the fruit & vegetable stand she and her brother run, visit it and tell her you read this story.

Comments: To Craig in Calgary: Regards your comments about Yarmouth.
You are so wrong. I left Yarmouth in 1950 to join the army
and today I still count Yarmouth as my home town. I,and my
wife,are proud to be from Yarmouth.As for your comment that
it is going down hill more each day maybe you should go back for a visit and see the progress that has been made over the years. My wife and I go back as often as we can and over the last 50 years have made dozens of trips back to see the old home town and will continue to do so as long as we can. It is a very emotional feeling we have every time we enter Yarmouth and see the town,the streets and the homes,still standing,where we spent our younger years.I feel sorry for you Craig,as you have lost something from your growing up years and sound like a very unhappy person.I would suggest you take a trip back to Yarmouth and try to find what you have lost.You may have a different outlook on life and the town and the people you once knew.

Comments: There is in my mind no place more beautiful, nor any people more honorable than those of Yarmouth Nova Scotia.  Rich with history, and graced with un precendented beauty, it is truly one a the greatest places on God's Green Earth.  Just to walk the rock lined coasts or to feel the fresh ocean mist, or to watch as the ferry comes in is a memory of a lifetime.
I may have duel citizenship between the United States and Canada, but my heart is definitely Canadian.  Every chance I get for a vacation... Nova Scotia here I come.
May Nova Scotia forever be the proudest land of the North.

Comments: I would like to tell everyone who visits the Yarmouth website a little about my Grandfather, his name was Clive Evans Goodwin JR. He was born in Yarmouth on October 14 1930. He was the son of Stella Crosby and Clive Goodwin SR. He worked for Parker-Eakens for 33 years, he also owned a bottle recycling business for quite a few years.It was called J&J Bottles. He loved Yarmouth and he loved its people. He was a major animal lover and his heart melted for children of all ages. He was the most positive person in my life, always giving support and encouragement. He died with lung cancer on October 14th 2002. He had lots of friends in the Yarmouth area and beyond. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He supported the Yarmouth Food Bank every year. He was a wonderful person and we were very lucky to have him in our lives.  I will always miss you and never forget you grampy. You were an angle in my life!!!!

Though I did not know your grandfather well, I did enjoy the few chats I had with him.   Sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathy to you and your family.
