I've taken annotated aerial photos from about 1830 of the Beausejour / La Coupe and Jolicure areas and compared them to contemporary maps from the Province of NB Government and Bing "Bird's Eye View" maps ..
Comments much appreciated...
Old family friend, Gerry Landry, fulfilled one of my dreams when we visited him in Fitchburg, MA last weekend... He gave me his copy of the rare Clarence Webster history of New Brunswick with several one of a kind maps of Beausejour / Chignecto.

Had a wonderful time visiting life long friends from Cap Pele, Gerry and Clara Landry in Fitchburg on the weekend.
When I was a kid, and they hung out with my sister Wanda and her then boyfriend Fred Girouard, they were like movie stars. Hot cars, black pants/white shirts and DA haircuts. Usually a guitar around. Gerry picked up this piece of brick at Fort Beausejour about 60 years ago, and he generously gave it to me to protect. So it's on one of our fireplace mantels. Merci, Gerry!!! |
