Dear Editor:
Histories – stories people tell. A lot of history is being lost.
Centre Wellington is made of quite a few stories, old and new. My letter is about the bricks of the old Groves Memorial Community Hospital. These bricks individually or on the whole are each full of stories, the history of the people of this area.
Bricks from the old Groves hospital were sold as a fundraiser. Money raised will go to much needed materials for the new hospital. People told these stories to the ladies standing at the table.
From people deciding to bring their kids to buy a brick because they were born there to a friend that was on vacation and asked her friend here to buy one for her.
Stories/history all gone. They should be recorded. Hopefully someone will writing them down to be kept for years to come.
Lucy Dyment,
Fergus
