My First Communion

I managed to recover from mumps in time to be confirmed with my Grade One class on a Thursday in spring. However, the day after, I came down with chicken pox so I missed making my First Communion with my classmates on the Sunday. I did so later in April at a regular Sunday Mass at St. Brendan's Church. Afterwards my Aunt Geraldine and Uncle Gerald invited us to their apartment for a celebratory lunch.


I just loved the emerald green coat and hat which were bought for the occasion. The coat pockets and collar were brown velvet.

The other pictures are of me with my father and with my grandmothers, Nanny Martin on the left and Nanny Thompson on the right.
