The setting was Pointe-du-Lac (west side of Trois Rivieres, Quebec), I was sitting next to my Grandmother Laquerre (whom I miss very much even to this day!). Sharon (to my right) and I were now announcing that she was pregnant. We were later to determine that this was Matthew.

We lived at the Uplands military base at that time. I would imagine that this is on Dekota Drive where we lived.

My sister Pauline (to whom I am godfather) would be the one to be the godmother for Matthew and Roger Crotty, Sharon's brother-in-law would be the godfather.
