Gord Wetherall, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션49, didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t get a room of his own until he was 22. Just back from convoy duty in the North Atlantic and about to begin his classes at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, he moved into a room at the back of the second floor of 391 Brock Street, a student boarding house since the early 카지노 게임 컬렉션30s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I felt pretty important,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Wetherall, who turned 100 this year.
Though the move was significant, it wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t very far. For nine years before the war, he had spent his nights on a pull-out couch in the living room of 391 Brock. The redoubtable woman who ran the boarding house with miraculous efficiency over three decades was referred to by most of the students living in her home as Mrs. Wetherall. To Gord Wetherall, she was Mom.
Mr. Wetherall never really got to know the other students in the boarding house during his years at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I was too busy during noon hours to really have any contact with them,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I remember grabbing a plate of food in the kitchen between washing dishes and setting tables and so on. I was part of the workforce.카지노 게임 컬렉션
He had been 카지노 게임 컬렉션part of the workforce카지노 게임 컬렉션 since the family moved to 391 Brock St. in 1934 from a smaller house on Nelson Street, where they had also taken in student boarders. Mr. Wetherall카지노 게임 컬렉션s mother, Lulu, needed all hands on deck to make the massive undertaking at 391 Brock work.
Until male residences were built in the 1950s, most Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students lived in boarding houses like Mrs. Wetherall카지노 게임 컬렉션s, according to Testing Tradition, the third volume in the official university history by Duncan McDowall, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션72, MA카지노 게임 컬렉션74.
The home at 391 Brock had five bedrooms available for students, two of them doubles, so room for seven young men altogether. The family slept downstairs. A bedroom had been carved out of the home카지노 게임 컬렉션s big living room, and Lulu Wetherall, her husband, Frank 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a guard at the Collins Bay penitentiary 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and Gord Wetherall카지노 게임 컬렉션s younger sister, June, slept there. That left Gord on the living room sofa until he became a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s student himself.
Mrs. Wetherall offered both room and board to her students 카지노 게임 컬렉션 three full meals a day 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and linen service, all for about $30 a month. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I even remember her making the beds,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Wetherall. But her responsibilities didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t end there.
She also provided meals to other students in rooming houses that didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t offer board 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a lot of other students. Twelve young men sat around the big dining room table for each meal. Then Gord Wetherall and his sister quickly cleared and reset the table for another 12 waiting in the foyer. Twenty-four meals. Three times a day.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It sure was a lot of cooking, and she was all alone,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Wetherall. For supper, he recalls, 카지노 게임 컬렉션she would usually have a soup, a meat-and-potato-type dish, and a dessert, which would usually be pie. It was a substantial meal.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Mr. Wetherall카지노 게임 컬렉션s daughter, Jacquie Arbuckle, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션71, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션72, says her grandmother카지노 게임 컬렉션s years feeding famished scholars left her wondrously fast in the kitchen. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When I was a youngster,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she remembers, 카지노 게임 컬렉션and we would go and visit, it was always at Christmas and Easter when the roomers were gone. I remember she could peel a potato in a second. And make pies? She just made hundreds of pies and she was so fast at it.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Gord Wetherall doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t remember missing anything growing up in the busy household, except maybe a quiet place to study. Living with seven virtual strangers and having 17 more troop in three times a day was just 카지노 게임 컬렉션normal life,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It was what I was used to.카지노 게임 컬렉션
