Diary of Hilda Montgomery - 1917
Step back to a time when the First World War was raging and boys from Brighton were at the front lines, a global epidemic was a year away, and the Russian Revolution was in full swing. Despite the upheaval around the world, those left behind did their best to live their lives as close to normal as possible.
We are honoured to present the story of 16-year-old Hilda Montgomery in her own words. She was a local girl who became a revered community leader. Her compassion for children was immense, and she is remembered for her lifetime of kindness. Recognized by a park in her beloved Gosport, for all the good deeds Hilda performed, she was once just a teenage girl in a small town in Ontario.

While the storm that spawned the tornado raged for much longer, causing damage across the region, nothing compared to the devastation resulting from the 32 seconds the twister was on the ground. More than 100 mature trees - most a century old or more - were toppled, damaging homes, businesses, and vehicles....

    Wow, great to see and hear you here Dan. My mom was secretary for I think almost if not 20 yrs in your office! Being in my early teen yrs, I can now say, I had a school girl crush on you, lol. Do you still play your music as well?

    Interesting thing I just noticed. The "Royal Air Force" sign (@6:33) gives us a clue to the date of that photo, because the "Royal Air Force" didn't come into being until April 1918 - prior to that it was the "Royal Flying Corps." So this photo is most likely taken sometime after that point.

    Very cool, also amazing work on the photos. I saw some of the original photos and your scanning / software / restoration work is supurb. The pictures of the army camp (Long Branch), my jaw dropped -- the original was *so* faded! Wonderful stuff.

    This place was a huge part of my childhood. My parents used to take me and my friends there almost every time we went to Presqu’ile. I took a few pictures of the place when it finally closed down. I’m incredibly heartbroken to see the end of this place. If someone else had taken ownership, maybe a new station could have been constructed next to the museum.
