Robert Aiken

Took the train to Montreal, only stayed a week. Then left to Toronto, stayed in Toronto for two weeks. Left for London, got a job for a couple of months. Then I got a job at General Steele where I learned how to build refrigerators. I stayed there until I retired. I am 85 years old now, next year I will be 86. I am quite happy in my new land. I had my ups and downs. I am married to my second wife Isabel. My first wife Margaret gave birth to three girls, one called Christine, Kathy and Darlene, who died of cancer a few years ago. Christine is married and has two boys named Shawn and Todd, and a girl name Amy. Kathy has two girls, one is named Krista and the other is named Evelyn.
