Re Turco Persian
Congrats, Ms. Krawchuk, on an outstanding story! I knew Greg Kasparian a little, but my brother-in-law, Bruce Christie, was one of Greg’s closest friends. ‘Twas he who forwarded your story to me. I was born in East York in the mid-1930s and my family moved to Hanna Road in Leaside in 1941. I attended Bessborough Public School for two or three years, then moved to Northlea Public School when it was built. And Leaside High School, of course. It was a wonderful community. I had many Leaside friends for much of my life, but alas, only one or two are still alive. Best wishes to Leaside Life and Lorna Krawchuk. Keep up the good work!
