I am not aware of any photos of him at work, and I was only six when he died, so the memories are few. Thanks for sharing . . . from Vickie in Texas . . .

By the time we had the IGA, he did very little in butchering as he had the whole store to run. My mother worked along side him once they had their own store. I got my start in the work world in the IGA.Janet Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742257036879298830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305679911018720590.post-23683194435273043952009-07-09T13:14:27.659-04:002009-07-09T13:14:27.659-04:00I am so jealous - a beautiful photograph and info...I am so jealous - a beautiful photograph and informative photograph AND it includes your ancestors!<br />By the way,in the next week or so I'm going to publish some old New Brunswick and Quebec postcards that include Dominion stores. <br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305679911018720590.post-63693892872903142722009-07-09T11:09:36.752-04:002009-07-09T11:09:36.752-04:00Really enjoyed this snapshot of your Dad and the T...Really enjoyed this snapshot of your Dad and the Turner's Meat Market! I felt a kinship with him as I know you've seen my post about my Daddy, <a href="http://genealogytraces.blogspot.com/search/label/Safeway%20Grocery" rel="nofollow">Safeway Grocery Store - Stephenville, Texas 1956</a>. He was a butcher all his life and your post sure brought back memories of being in the store while he was working!Judith Richards Shuberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com
