If anyone fits that description or knows someone who does, PLEASE email me. Fo r any of you reading this who don't subscribe to the Downhomer, if you'd like a free, introductory copy, please drop me an e-mail and I'll get one out to you. We're celebrating our 10th anniversary this year, it's going to be a fabulous summer on Water S treet! Drop by and see us if you're lucky enough to come "home" for a visit...ah, with all those mega projects Brian Tobin keeps announcing, you'll all be able to come home!!!! |

I'm sure Bell Islanders everywhere are enjoying your efforts...I wonder if someone out there from the island can help me with a request I had by mail this week from a Mrs. C arrie Dancey, 207 Masonic Park, Mount Pearl, NF A1N 3K6. Mrs. Dancey had purchased my book and wrote to say how much she enjoyed it...in her letter she told me that she had visited here with her husband in 1938 and remembered being taken up over the hill from the wharf in the cable car. She would love to find a picture of the old cable car to show her family, as she has wonderful memories of her visits to Bell Island. If anyone can help Carrie, they can either contact her by mail directly, or let me kn ow at my own e-mail and I'll make the contact. I haven't been able to find a picture for her, but she's a dear lady and I'd like to help. Thanks...and wherever you are, greetings from Lance Cove, Bell Island where today it is overcast but pleasant and I 'm heading out for a brisk walk through the wonderful fall foilage! Kay Coxworthy |

I am a Newfoundlander currently living in Houston,Texas. It seems that it was fate that I crossed your website this evening, because I have been feeling so homesick for a few days now. It was so nice to find out about the personal websites of Newfoundlander's. I found your site, and many others, through The Evening Telegram. I grew up in the St. John's area, and have visited Bell Island many times, and though the pictures on the computer are beautiful, they don't do the island justice! Again, it was great to find your site, and I'm sure I'll be back for another visit!!! Kelly Brown. |

I think you should put the Doll House on your page. A picture of it, and maybe even a small write up of the man who lives there. I tell everyone about the doll house on Bell Island.
