Hi,
Thanks for looking. Not sure about "historic".
I wasn't sure just how anyone would react to set.
I hope I don't sound close to senility!

Hi,
Going far back in time to illustrate our family's close attachment to creatures. I remember we lived in a small row house in north Philadelphia and always had a dog. First one I remember was a Chow Chow who always had to be first at the door when the bell or knock sounded and knocked me down the flight of stairs at age 6. A series of others including a Rat Terrier with a four poster dog bed my father made which she would retire to when we went up to bed. She would be covered with her blanket and would still be under it in the morning. There also were a multitude of:
Sparrows brought to my mother by neighbors when found thrown out of nests. She would make her chick food and serve it with an eyedropper until the bird was old enough to eat regular food. The bird would then reside in a cage from which on frequent occasions would be allowed out to fly around the house, but who would always eventually fly back inside. My parents later raised budgies. As a teenager, I brought in white mice, tropical fish and a snake.
Later still, we acquired a Springer Spaniel.
Over the years, I have assured myself that every one of these creatures had distinct personalities. I would like to assume that the personality in each of these is an identical trait to the personality of humans. Therefore if you assume that the spark of personality equates to soul, shouldn't we consider animals have souls???
I don't think that I am crazy, and would like to hear some opinions on the above from some of you.
Thanks.

Hi,
Photos taken on a road trip across US and Canada in 1978 in my little VW Bug. Great time everywhere.
Sorry that these seem a bit soft, but that's result of poor storage of slides and and older electronic equipment.
Hope you can enjoy seeing the open spaces locations.

Photos from a 1983 trip up to Toronto. Hope they may be of some interest.
Apologies to my UHH friends from Canada; they likely will not need the Info below.

TORONTO
Toronto was founded as the Town of York and capital of Upper Canada in 1793 after the Mississaugas surrendered the land to the British in the Toronto Purchase. For more than 12,000 years, Indigenous People have lived in the Toronto area. The ancestors of the Huron-Wendat were the first known groups to establish agricultural villages in the area about 1,600 years ago.
In the 17th century, the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail along the Humber River became a strategic site for controlling the fur trade farther north. The Seneca people established a village of about 2,000 people known as Teiaiagon along the trail. The French set up trading posts in the area, which they abandoned when the British conquered French North America in the Seven Years' War
In the late 19th century, Toronto grew into an important regional center, and was linked to the rest of Ontario by a growing railway network and the American and British markets by its port. After World War II,an influx of immigrants came to the region.
The Province of Ontario formed a regional government, [Metropolitan Toronto], encompassing Toronto and its suburbs in 1954. The Governments invested heavily in infrastructure facilitating a boom in population and industry. In the second half of the 20th century, Toronto surpassed Montreal as Canada's largest city and became the economic capital of Canada
