1938: Colonial Fire Company



When you have resided in the same area of Hamilton as I have for lo, these 70-plus years, a photo like that shown of the Colonial Fire Company dance group shows surnames with which you are familiar. Frances Carnochan was a teacher at Kuser School. While I don't happen to know Bobby Quick and Gloria Homan, I associate them with names I do recall from my era. Bobby Quick brings the possibility that he is related in some way to the Quick family who resided on Kuser Avenue (today's Leonard Avenue). I would further assume that Gloria Homan is related to my dear friend, Audrey Homan Sperling. Hamilton was indeed a rural community back then!
