When I was six or seven years old in the late 1960's, my parents renovated our old home on Argyle St. in Sydney, NS. Aubrey Dawson was the carpenter who did it all. As a little kid watching such a massive renovation of an old house, Aubrey Dawson was like a hero. I never forgot his patience with a little kid who was often under foot. He used to whistle and sing to all the top songs of the day and always had a joke or funny story to tell. I remember him singing the song "Little Arrows" frequently. My condolences to his family. He was a nice and good man.
P.S. Mrs. Dawson from Haig St. never taught me but when we were kids she was the teacher everyone wanted to have.
