   Hi Patrick, My name is Laurie Thomson.  we were stationed in Petawawa from   
   1957-1963.  We lived at 2 Cassino.  My best friend was Cindy Berryman.  I have   
   tried to contact her numerous times but can't find her.  I remember going to   
   the beach almost every    
   day in the summer.  We would either walk or ride our bikes down the old dusty   
   gravel road and eat raspberries all the way home. We used to play by the   
   teachers huts and run up and down the hill by the swamp there.  I remember   
   going to the theatre every    
   Saturday and stopping at the MLS and buying candy I think for a penny.  If you   
   got a pink one you got another for free. I remember if we had heavy rain   
   Paardeburg would flood and you could actually swim in the street. We used to   
   go blueberry picking just    
   inside the gates and my mom would make pies.  All of my memories of Petawawa   
   are good memories.  Would love to go back one day.
