RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
WELCOME TO CANADA
In the afternoon of November 6 th 1957, we sailed past the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City,
then on to an evening docking at the port in Montreal. Processed through Immigration as
Landed Immigrants, we then boarded an overnight train for Toronto. I vividly remember looking
out of the window and seeing the transport trucks lit up ‘like Christmas trees’ with all their
running lights.
Getting off the ship in my shorts in November exposed me to the Canadian cold that I have
never grown accustomed to.
In Toronto, we stayed
for a week with Phil
and Jean Lowen who
had been in Canada
for several years, and
who took us shopping
for more-appropriate
winter clothing, and
showed us Niagara
Falls.
