Barn Fire

Pat Lydon stands among the remains of the barn after it was destroyed by fire. The employee on the right is Mr. Georges Fortier.

I used to play with the grindstone in the barn when I was a little boy and try to sharpen a tool or two. I also loved to crank the wheel when my father was grinding a tool for his staff. I can remember as a young boy seeing my father’s men put pieces of car tires in the stove to make it heat up! The stovepipe used to turn bright red.- Brian Treggett
