MOM IN HALIFAX 1956
WE WERE ALL THERE. My mom in
Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1956 with the Angus L. Macdonald
Bridge, constructed in 1955.

this I think is a NEW bridge that people call the "new
bridge." Looks like the other one.

Nueva Escocia
Estaba en Nova Scotia en 1956 y mi hermana Wendy
sostenía mis manos y jalaba en un esfuerzo para
ponerme abordo del barco de vela. Siempre ha sido un
recuerdo vivo mío y hace unos cuantos años me
sorprendí al ver la película familiar de esto. No
sabía que había sido filmado lo que pasó. Al mirar
la película, estaba un poquito decepcionado ya que
no sé si mi hermana logró ponerme abordo con los
otros niños. En la película no hay una imagen de mí
en la cubierta del barco y por alguna razón eso me
molesta un poquito.
Iba a escribir esta historia como un capítulo entero
pero mientras redactaba me enteré de que no sabía
mucho sobre el lugar para nada. Solamente tenía el
cuento sobre el barco.
En 2018 fui en avión a Halifax, la capital de la
provincia y me acomodé en una "posada" llamada The
Mary Queen of Scots Inn. Hice un recorrido del
puerto y vi el memorial de la explosión de Halifax
en la que 2000 personas habían fallecido. Leo en mi
diario que llegué el 23 de Mayo de 2018 y fui a St.
John's, Newfoundland el 25, así que fue una visita
médica.
He decidido regresar a Halifax otra vez cuando la
peste haya desaparecido y hasta entonces tengo que
estar satisfecho concluyendo con unas cuantas
imágenes de la película de 1956.
Dios mío. ¡Ese soy yo abordo del barco! Reconozco el
mismo abrigo marrón. ¡Qué alivio! ¿Sabes una cosa?
Ni siquiera voy a molestarme en corregir lo que
escribí arriba.
NOVA SCOTIA
I was in Nova Scotia and the year was 1956. My
sister Wendy was holding my hands and pulling in an
effort to get me aboard the sailboat. It's always
been a vivid memory of mine and a few years ago, I
was surprised to see a family movie of this. I
didn't know it'd been filmed. When I saw the movie,
I was a little disappointed as I don't know if my
sister ever really managed to get me on board with
the other kids. There's no image of me on deck and
for some reason that bothers me.
I was going to write up this story as a whole
chapter, but as I was doing so, I found that I
didn't know much about the place at all. I really
only had the one story about the ship. Therefore,
this will fit just fine into the chapter on short
personal encounters of the third kind.
In 2018 I flew to Halifax, the provincial capital,
and stayed in at The Mary Queen of Scots Inn. I did
a harbor tour and saw the memorial of the Halifax
explosion in which 2000 people died. I read in my
diary that I arrived on May 23, 2018 and went to St.
John's, Newfoundland on the 25th so it was an
awfully short visit.
I've decided to return to Halifax again when the
plague is gone and until then it will have to be
enough for me to include here a few images from the
1956 Nova Scotia film.
OMG. That's me aboard the boat! I recognize the same
brown coat. What a relief! You know, I'm not even
going to bother to go back and correct what I wrote
above.
