I always mess up on his name. Must be a character flaw. The Anse de Roche thing though – it was Grosse Roche before but they built the wharf on top of the Grosse Roche so for quite a few years all the signs say Anse de Roche! If you google it you end up in the same place.
I’m interested to hear Al was David’s God father too. With Alan as a spiritual guide how come he didn’t end up a priest like I did?? When Alan told someone he was going to my ordination the person said, “Wow. You must have done a good jod as a Godfather!` Alan said, “Yeah. I stayed away!“
Stay well, Alan

I had to do some looking up, because I thought it was called Anse de la Grosse Roche, and here’s what I found (it’s à la, not de la, by the way): http://www.geodata.us/canada_names_maps/maps.php?featureid=EFIKD&f=45
And while we’re spelling things, it’s Alan Finley (ey, not ay). He was our son, David’s, godfather too! He did some pretty decent paintings himself, as you probably know.
Love, Jill

You and Alan truly live in a beautiful spot and it takes being retired to fully enjoy it. Lots of love to you and Alan from Sim and I.
