IN 1988 a group of women who grew up in Upper Lonsdale in
the “20s and °30s got togethes tor a reunion, [t seemed such 3
wood idea thar they have been doing it every tWo vears OF sO ever
since. Last Thursday about 45 ladies met for tuneh ac Delphine
Masterton’s beautiful ted and breakfast establishment,
Laburnum Cottage. The nesabers were down from iyo years aga
for a variety of reasons, but the sun shone and the memories
tlowed. Their parents were the pioneers of the North Shore, and
some of then lived in what are now heritage homes. Hopetully
Dick Lazenby’s record of those times will make if into print soon.

See if you can spot these sisters next time you visit the
Gueen's Cross neighbourhood pub. The Scott girls
grew up in the home that used to stand on the site and
