Caracas, Venezuela ~ I have very view memories of Caracas
but one that comes to mind is of my older sister, Cydnee, causing me to fall down a flight of stairs in our apartment
complex. (Whether this was done intentionally I am not sure but I have a strong feeling that it was not accidental.)
I still have a small scar on my chin in the shape of two baby teeth! (Tattle Tale submitted

Calgary, Alberta ~ The first time that I met you
and the only time that I met Uncle Geoff was in Canada . We were on our way to join Mummy & Ang
who were living in Vancouver in 1962 . I remember Dad saying to Malcolm and myself, "Look ahead of you, there is
your Mum's brother and his wife." 'Brown Cow' was there also. My Dad's actual words were, "There is
Geoff and Marj." You had blonde hair and today I have NO hair! (Remembrance submitted

Caracas, Venezuela ~ In 1958 I visited you
and Uncle Geoff in Caracas. You took me to the Hotel Humbolt, via the teleferico - what a memorable evening. During
that visit your home (and the city of Las Mercedes) was flooded. I remember the maid, Victoria, afraid of the water
climbing on top of the washing machine. (Memory submitted

Caracas, Venezuela ~ As a young boy, I always remember
'my Barb' going to Caracas to visit you and Uncle Geoff. I remember her telling us about how high the water
was and how Uncle Geoff flicked his ash from a cigarette into the ash tray that was floating in the water. We saw
the pictures of the water marks on the wall and of the wonderful time she spent with you all in Venezuela. (Anecdote submitted by Roger, grand-nephew)
