Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum-by Blaine Cornell–This is his Dad Herb Cornell with Ray McIsaac- Check out the corner after the old Taylor’s Garage. There was a building there where there is an empty parking lot now next to Spartan’s Pizza
Ted Hurdis-— I remember walking home from school one day and I threw a stone at a stop sign. Herb Cornell saw me and he scared the life out of me for doing that. Funny the things you remember from childhood I never threw another one!! Of course he knew who I was and my family..
