Date: 10/2/2004 Name: Herb Adams Location: Field, Ontario E-Mail: herb.adams@sympatico.ca Comments: Hi. I've visited the maritimes more than a dozen times, starting from early childhood, but never made it to Yarmouth unfortunatly. Lately I became more and more interested upon finding out that the frost-free growing season there is about 6 months long. Is that true? What are the approximate dates of the last spring frost and first fall frost? How does that compare with other areas of Nova Scotia? Any info on frost dates/growing season would be much appreciated. Herb

Date: 10/11/2004 Name: Bernie Maughan Location: Mount Pleasant, Nova Scotia E-Mail: boopmaughan@yahoo.com Comments: Hello, I was born in Yarmouth General Hospital in 1961. I lived in Pembroke until I was 11 yrs old. My dad was Jack Bielby and my mom is Thelma Bielby (nee Comeau). There was also my brother Gary Comeau. We lived across from the shore road. Lucy Jarvis painted my portrait also. I have lost track of where it is and would love to know it's where abouts. My best friend when I was there was Susan Cushing, daughter of Wayne & Fran. My son is doing a project on Yarmouth because that is where I am from. That is why I found your site. Keep in touch. Thank you. Bernie

Date: 10/15/2004 Name: Bob Randall Location: Caldwell, NJ, USA E-Mail: daisybubba@earthlink.net Comments: We recently vacationed in Nova Scotia. On our last day in
your wonderfull province, we ended up getting stuck in a ditch one hour
before we were scheduled to board the Bar Harbor Fast-Ferry. Many of your
kind local residents stopped to offer assistance and advice. Almost all
recommended we call Ken Gillian. We did. Ken promptly showed up with his
tow truck, lifted us out of the ditch and had us on our way in short order.
We would like to thank everyone involved, especially Ken Gillian. Thank
you all !-Bob Randall,Joan Raabe,Princess and Bubba

it here but I do miss Yarmouth sometimes! I think most of all I miss
Port Maitland beach. There are very few sandy beaches here, I never
realized how lucky we are to have a beach like that. Hope to see
everyone some day soon. Cheers!
Hi Lisa -would have sent you an
email but .....no address.. Hope things are going well. Put

Date: 10/23/2004 Name: Ronald Brown "Rob" Moir Location: Massachusetts E-Mail: robmoir@tiac.net Comments: I enjoyed Dr. Farish's Medical Biography of the Bond-Farish
Family. He neglected to mention that Dr. James Bond and Deborah Tooker
Bond had six children: Deborah born 1814, Stephen b.1815, Anne b. 1818,
Elizabeth b. 1820, Norman J. b. 1822, and Maria b. 1824. Elizabeth
Bond married Yarmouth's genealogist George Stayley Brown on April 23, 1856.
Their granddaughter Elizabeth Anna Brown married John Arthur Moir.
The Bond medical legacy is alive and well in their grandson Dr. Alex Moir.
Alex's brother, James Bond Moir is a boat builder.
George Stayley Brown's paternal grandparents Janet Balfour Abercrombie
and John Brown came to Yarmouth about 1800 from Draffan, a village twenty
miles south of Glasgow, Scotland. Brown's maternal grandparents were
among Yarmouth's first settlers, Mary MacKinnon (daughter of Ranald MacKinnon)
and Dr. Richard Fletcher.

at one time called Temperance? I need to know for a project. Would some
one let me know?
Date: 10/27/2004 Name: mindy Location: halifax E-Mail: minnalyn@hotmail.com Comments: Am also very thankfull for the prompt reply I recieved from
my last question. Thank you for the maps.I am an artist in my last year
of college and my graduation work has been all about Carleton landscape
- abstract. Anyway, if Temperance was Carleton's name for a while that
would be a great name for my show. Fingers crossed.
