I think I was in there once to visit a Mr. McIntyre that passed away as his daughters went to school with us. I think he was a Manager of the Dominion Store where the Fairview Plaza is now. He had like 5 very pretty girls and the mother was very pretty too. We used to skate at the old rink called the Foreum before the Beaverbrook
Rink was built. And I remember something about Lord Beaverbook was there when they opened the rink and all the schools got to go and we had no school that day. I also remember Father Keogh from St. Peters Church he was a mean bugger....lol. He made me say 10 extra Hail Marys for laughing in church with my cousin Beverly while waiting for confession. How did i know that he was peeking out of the purple velvet crapes....lol OMG I am sitting laughing thinking back.....What Fun!!!

Yep..you've got a great memory..
the man you are talking about was Paul McIntyre..his wife's name was Pat..
do you remember when the Forum burned?
and I was there too when we got school off to see Lord Beaverbrook offically open the rink.
and yes Fr. Keogh was one scary bugger wasn't he?
