Fort Henry Heights, 1958

[Martin Moore]

I went to Lundy's Lane School in the late 50's. That would make me an old
guy, I guess. Any one else out there from the Kingston area of that time?
Or how about any brats from Vancouver Wireless Station in the 60's.
After dad retired, our whole family eventually settled in B.C.
Loved the mountains.

Born in Kingston. Went to Lundys Lane in the late 60's.
I remember Red Rock behind Batoche
Deadman's Cove, and the sunken uboat :)
the wharf, visitting the Centennial train downtown, Wolfe Island
Best times were at Fort Henry itself. sledding down in winters, getting stuck
in the moot during the summer.

one of the arms down to the water and piling up a few rocks, then
climbing out. Yes, and we would sled down the fort's slope in the winter,
and swim there at the point in the summer. Red Rock was also a favorite
place to ramble about. From Kingston we were posted to Vancouver Wireless
Station, a secure listening post that was part of the D.E.W. line (
Distant Early Warning).

We lived in Kingston in the late 60's - early 70's.
My sister went to Lundy's Lane in '68 or '69. I wasn't
of school age yet. We lived on Flanders Place.
We then moved off based to the other side of
Kingston. I remember Fort Henry aswell. Great
times sledding in the winter and flying kites in the
summer.

Cheers

Actually it wasn't my fault. I was naive. My brother conned me into climbing
in claiming he dropped a quarter (tons of money those days). I climbed down
and he and his friend ran off. He then came back and sweet justice, we both
were stuck for about 3 hours.

As for sledding. He once elbowed me off the back, my glove got stuck and I got
dragged half way down the hill. At the time there was a major ditch near the
bottom. Because of the extra drag (me) he didn't clear the ditch. :)

I like my brother NOW, more than then

Hey,
I was at Fort Henry then, too. Don't see too many of us "old guys" here very
often. Went to Lundy's Lane grades 3, 4, 5 (54 - 56), Niagara Park grade 6 and
the "annex" across the highway for grade 7. We lived on Batoche. You know, the
street with the two churches at the end. They were built while we lived there.
Red Rock was at the end of the street as well. Of course, that was long before
they built a school there!

My Dad, Bill (Trapper) Mills, was RCEME. He was at the workshop and taught at
the school. We went back for a few months in 65 - 66 while he was on course.

Accidently discovered this group...there are a lot of comments on Facebook, "Fort Henry Heights Brats" I posted a lengthy remembrance recently covering from 50 to 55. We also would go into the Moats in Winter for a lark but had a way out on the lake ontario side. I attended school in the fort for two years when the school was overcrowded and they sent the Grade VIIs there.

Hi, My name is John MacLEOD. I lived at FHH from approx 57 to 61. I was 13 to 16 years old at the time. My nickname was “J B”. I was wondering if some of my old friends were still around. Some of their names were; Carl Brooks, Don “Boots” Boutilier, Carol nee Jodion ( pronounced Jodwen), Carole ” Shocky” nee Shokrel, Rick Collins, Jim Burkett, Ken Palmer, Jackie nee St. Denis. Gail nee Severign, Jim Whipple, Denis Moore, Judy nee Cassidy, Doug Cummings.

My dad got posted to BC from Kingston and the only friend from above that I have had contact with was Don Boutilier about 1965. I have heard that he has passed away.

If anyone has any information or contacts for the people above I would sure like to hear about it. My email is jmac...@shaw.ca. I now live in Victoria BC.

Regards to all

Lived at 35 Paardeburg, 65 to 68. Went to QECVI and LCVI. Remember Dead Mans Bay, the swimming area. My brothers and I played a lot around the old fort. Skinny dipped when the 10009 island cruise boats went by. A lot of good memories.

[boucher...@gmail.com]

Paardeburg behind church and Batoche? We called it "party place" LOL. My family was on Normandy and Batoche 65 to 68. Many friends at both QE and LC. Have located B Macdonald and trying to see if others still around. Arrowhead beach had built up a lot and I surmise more so by now. Was unsure if web site still active when I received your email response. Perhaps we met at beach,dance,base etc.since it seems we were both there about the same time and going to high school. I was like most, did not take enough photos back in the day...Jerry.
