Dandy show, thanks for posting.
This is where I grew up in stephenville love port au port
Allan was an amazing man. He still is. He was so active in our community. Being really close to him, (I’m his granddaughter) I can admit that he would never stop until he finished what he started. I’m positive that Mr Power was just as good and I wish I had the opportunity to know him as well. Thank you for posting this- it gives amazing information and tells the story of my grandfather and mr power in one of the best ways I think possible. It tells what they were very passionate about. :)
My god I’m back again. This video never fails to make me cry y’know. I don’t know why. It just makes me so happy that my grandfather was happy.
Where was Allan from? I knew quite a few Alexander families around Port au Port and Stephenville and the name Allan is vaguely familiar.
Interesting film. I knew the LaCores. I haven't seen any of them since the mid sixties. A lot of familiar scenes in this film.
Now that is where my heart is.... in NL, on the Port au Port Peninsula... I was born in Lourdes..... Do anyone know what year this video was shot????? Thank you
Hi Bertie. It says in the description that it’s from 1988 so probably filmed in 1987.
1988
Was Port au Port affected by the tsunami that ravaged the Burrin Peninsula in November 1929? When I was stationed at Harmon AFB , 1955-56 , a resident of Port au Port mentioned experiencing a "flood" . She was of the Abbot family that ran an equipment supply business for fishermen. Today, I wonder if that flood was actually the tsunami of 1929. Like my eldest sister she was probably born in the early 1920s and oid enough to recall the 1929 flood/tsunami. Would like to know if she was remembering the 1929 event , or some other tsunami originating in the Gulf of St. Lawrence say, or maybe only an unusual high tide.
The Abbott Store still remains at Port au Port West. It had a fire in the store and they lost it all....but they built another store and its still going strong. I grew up in Port au Port and I remember my Mom talking about the Tsunami as her Mom told her the stories because my Mom was born in 1929. Its every girls dream to move back to Newfoundland and connect with your roots. Newfoundland just keeps getting better and its because of the people.

Anyone that can translate what he spoke in French?
He said that he speaks bad French. He has 24 grand kids. He said that his kids speak French. I could replay it a few times. I missed just one part.
Don’t go near Fox Island it’s haunted
