A Simpler Life

A photo story and a tribute to our parents, George and Catherine Lapointe. Our mother emigrated from England to Toronto, Canada. She arrived at the train station in MacDowall, Saskatchewan, and finally, Catherine was reunited with the man she had met on a blind date while he was stationed in England during World War II. They wrote to each other for six years. Patricia Catherine Gordon Roberts accepted George Alfred Lapointe's marriage proposal and together they raised five children on the prairies from the 1950s to the late 1970s.
