I later went to work for Leaver mushrooms in 1976. I will never forget hearing about this over the P.A system on Monday morning. I'm greatful that Janet used to tease me about towing to brownies with my mom as Janet was a brownie.

I also did for one summer in the late 60s. This cannery was on Hurontario (Hwy #10) south of the 401. I remember mom saying that only the youngest survived the crash. Hopefully Heather is still alive as she would only be around 50 years old.<br /><br />I was curious to see if the company was still around. When searching I found your post. I never knew details like where the crash occurred, interesting article.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Paul RuspayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258549114073897668.post-11175270943452262152016-11-10T11:35:34.211-05:002016-11-10T11:35:34.211-05:00Hi Deb, I came upon these graves just yesterday wh...Hi Deb, I came upon these graves just yesterday while taking a break from driving on my home commute. I thought it would be peaceful in there. I decided to look them up also and appreciate your sleuthing - I myself imagined they had all died in a fire. I notice that you say one girl is Jeanette Eleanor but the grave marker is Janet Elaine. Is there a reason for the difference? Re Heather, if you follow this link, there is reference to her survival and the guardianship arrangements. It is called "Notice of Application" in the lower right hand side of the page next to the Auction notice. <br />http://images.ourontario.ca/Partners/MPL/MPL002496073pf_0799.pdfSherry Comanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840170174313684455noreply@blogger.com
