The children and parents caught on camera...

Brothers and sisters with wives and other relatives having some fun
 The O'Brien family loved sports, we see them often on skis, but curling, hockey, baseball, etc. were part of life, and of course curling and boxing almost a profession for Gerry, the lone survivor of the clan...






Jim and Maria with girls, despite some flash problem...

 All three boys went overseas during WWII, Roger being a turret gunner, Gerry and Mark part of the occupying forces. When Gerry came back, a little party was organized at the cottage (Ste-Brigitte-de-Laval ?)

Retirement in 1952 was celebrated with the family, most of them anyway, as some had moved to Montreal, Hull and Macamic.



3 of the sisters with friend at Lac Beauport ski resort where ironically came the first O'Brien in Canada, when it was called St-Dunstan, in the 1830's. Patricia, Mary and Kate.

February 2011, members of the extended family and friends celebrated the 90th birthday of Gerry, seen here with his wife Pierrette Prévost.
