I am fascinated by these entries on FP Wood and ER Wood. My father was the landscape gardener on the estate of FP Wood at the time of his death and I grew up there until about the age of 14. I new Mr. Wood very well. I would love to see more pictures of the old estate. I used to work with my father and cousins during the summer holdays and on weekends. I well remember driving the old Worthington tractor with the large snow plow on the front at a very young age to say nothing of hauling the lawn mowers behind it in the summer. My grandfather was responsible for much of the gardening at Glendon Hall, the home of ER Wood and in fact my father was born in the gardeners cottage which I believe you can still see from Bayview Avenue. These are memories mind you and it would be wonderful to revisit some of them if others have them. I remember Mr Wood's children and grandchldren as well. (Rev.) Stephen A. Crisp
