Middleton Baptist Church

eBay always has Middleton postcards in its collectables section. This one shows the Baptist Church, I believe, but I'm not sure when. Every now and then you should check out the cards available; they provide glimpses of our past. Perhaps you will become a collector.

A Crock of Beans

Didn't have a Middleton picture, so I did a bit of graphic doodling. Sometimes I find a picture or clip art that doesn't quite cut it; therefore I need to do some searching, cutting and pasting to bring it up to scratch. Hope it shows up all right. Now, we'll all have to do some searching for Middleton pictures to get me back on track.

Downpour in boston

Three (Bette; Eric; Neil) of the four Middleton Amigoes as they try to regroup after a heavy downpour at Fenway Park. It would have helped if we had figured out how to get in a poncho before it rained. Great weekend. Baseball, Fenway and Middleton go together well; however, the Yankees were dominant that weekend.

Going to school - 1963

Carol Ann Cole has sent a picture circa 1963.

She's going to get a drive to MRHS from Wilmot in George White's new (first) car. That's a full armload of books, Carol, and we didn't have the backpacks they use today.

Laura Secord Motel

An eBay postcard mentions the Laura Secord Motel in Middleton, circa, the '50s. Did we decide if this was the one across from the hospital ? What name changes has it gone through ? "The Laura Secord was built by doug MacNeil but the other Laura didn't approve of the name. It becane the Driftwood Motel and later the Fundy Spray. A corner store was added and the units are now rented out to students and low rental housing. It is just west of Maple Ford across from the bowling alley." Thanks, Gerald.

Reunion: 10 Years ago ?

Here are some of those, mostly members of the Class of '51 as they looked when they attended the MRHS Reunion ten years ago. A few have passed on since then, and I wonder how many will be in Middleton this July for the 2010 60th MRHS Reunion Celebrations.

Baseball

In lieu of anything more recent, I've retreated to the days of the H&D League and a Chambers' cartoon. Most of us think of chambers as the great editorial cartoonist, the one before today's excellent artist, Bruce MacKinnon. Chambers also did the occasional sports cartton. This one captures Garneau Seaman, one of the brothers from Liverpool who also played one season or more in Middleton.
