• Notes

  Regrettably Margaret died when the author of this project was only 7 years old so I never really knew my Aunt Margaret. Margaret, like her sisters, grew up on Gage Avenue in Hamilton and went to Delta High School. She met a navy serviceman, Bob Herdman, and they were married. Bob was then transferred to British Columbia. Bob and Margaret and their two children moved to BC in the late 1960s. It was in British Columbia that Margaret discovered she had breast cancer which required a mastectomy. Bob was unable to deal with his wife's cancer and the couple split up. In 1965 Margaret took her children and returned to Hamilton to be with Margaret's sisters. Meanwhile Bob Sr. was transferred to Nova Scotia. Margaret died two years later.
