A photo recently passed to me by my cousin (thanks, Donna!): my maternal grandfather Cowling with his son and sons-in-law, at Fern Ave., Toronto, 1940s. My dad Gord is top middle, next to my Uncle Bus, left, son of Grandpa Nick Cowling, right. My other two uncles, Milt and Wallace, are in the foreground. Fern Ave., off of Roncesvalles (a vibrant commercial street to this day) is part of older Toronto, with many early 20th century high-density brick row houses, built close to public transit streetcar lines. Those streetcars are still an integral part of Toronto transportation today.
