WHAT a wonderful surprise.  These three post cards leapt out at me when I opened Dan Boyer\u2019s email.  I could<\/div>\n
almost step into the pictures of old Port Credit in the days of the Stonehookers.   I must go down to the Credit River mouth<\/div>\n
with my camera and  stand where this photographer must have stood.   Maybe Rob Leonard will beat me to it.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
When would be a better time to live?  1900?  2021?  Our tendency to romanticize the past will come into question when<\/div>\n
I get around to telling the story about Liverpool Andy\u2026a waif whose short life as a teenager on Toronto docks illustrates<\/div>\n
the horrors of  being poor and forgotten in the days  when there was no social safety net .  That story is coming\u2026look for<\/div>\n
\u201cThe short life of Liverpool Andy on the Toronto waterfront\u201d.  Meanwhile enjoy these images of the past in Port Credit, Ontario<\/div>\n
\u2026and thank Dan<\/div>\n
for taking the time to find them for us all.<\/div>\n

Alan,

I was so touched by your latest article (ie. Episode 220: Stonehooking was  a brutal profession)..that I put down everything and dug out these postcards for you! Enjoy!
