August 7, 2011: Al: Included in my late father's box of memorabilia was a xeroxed copy of Memories of the Burgh, published privately by Ethel Sivyer Proulx in 1991. It is a 68 page collection of the "Memories of the Burgh" column that she wrote for the New Edinburgh News in 1986-1990. The stories speak to people, places, stores, businesses, etc. from New Edinburgh in the 1890-1930 period. I read it with great anticipation since my father was raised on Noel Street in the '20s and '30s, but, unfortunately, nothing was written about my Cullens. There were a couple of mentions of other relatives, though. Even though the timing is a little later than your normal coverage, I was thinking it might be of interest to you for your bibliography section and/or for setting up a new page on people from the Burgh. Let me know and I will send it to you. Mark Cullen ________________________ Mark: Thanks for sending this to me. I read it with interest as there is a lot of material covered in it. ... Al
