THE COLLECTION OF PHOTOS ON THIS SITE IS EFFECTIVELY AN EXTENSION OR A SEQUEL TO MY WELL-KNOWN AND POPULAR SITE CALLED CHUCKMAN’S PLACES. IT INVOLVES NEW MATERIAL NOT INCLUDED IN THAT SITE AND TAKES A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT APPROACH, ESPECIALLY IN THE NATURE OF SOME OF ITS COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS. I HOPE READERS WILL ENJOY IT.

BILL CHUCKMAN COMING OUT OF WATER AT PERCE ROCK IN QUEBEC - THIS WAS A WONDERFUL TWO-WEEK TRIP WITH KATHY JOHN BILL AND GRANDPA - WHEN THE TIDE IS OUT YOU CAN WALK COMPLETELY AROUND PERCE ROCK, AND BILL AND I DID - BUT THE TIDE CAME BACK BEFORE WE GOT BACK AND WE WERE SOAKED - IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY WITH WATER RISING FAST AND NOT THE BEST FOOTING - WE DID MANY INTERESTING THINGS ALONG THE GASPE AND IN NEW BRUNSWICK (WHERE MY OLD PONTIAC BROKE DOWN IN THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE - WE GOT SOME TERRIFIC HELP WITH THAT) - I HAVE ONLY THIS PICTURE DIGITIZED - IT IS ASHAMED BECAUSE I HAVE BURIED AWAY A NUMBER OF IMAGES OF THIS WONDERFUL TIME - I HAD A SECOND MOTIVE FOR THE TRIP - BILL, LIVING IN CHICAGO, WAS APPROACHING DRAFT AGE AND I WANTED TO SHOW HIM SOME ATTRACTIVE PLACES IN CANADA TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO COME - HE EVENTUALLY DID AND STAYED WITH US ON MILLWOOD ROAD FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL HE HAD EVERYTHING SORTED OUT - A JOHN CHUCKMAN IMAGE
