Delhi, Ontario pictures (Mr. Chips)

[Blue Baron]

Thanks so much for posting these. If I hadn't moved across the country 16 years ago, I would have been there.

I looked up John Chipps' obituary online, and it said he died in 2003 at age 91. However, the man in the photo wearing the hat looks exactly like him, and it's as if he hasn't aged a single day.

It could be the healthy farm life, but it's still like seeing a ghost.

That's amazing that the John Chipps roof ended up with you. That's the best possible outcome.

I posted my old photos on page 2. I may have another photo of that truck kicking around.
