Thirty one years ago, Marie Hann of Placentia and I (Mary McCormick) sailed together aboard a freighter as cooks. In May 2022 we were reunited, along with my daughters Bee and Rose, with Marie and her partner Derm Hann.

We took the Downhome magazines everywhere in our travels to take pictures with them around Newfoundland, and then back they came with us to our home in Ontario to be in a photo at Lock 7, part of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

We will all be reunited again in October 2022, when Marie and Derm travel to us in Niagara.

We are all Forever Friends, linked together across the miles.
