Dawson Heritage (c1936)

This is a picture of my father, James Keith Dawson, at the farm at Maple Lake taken in about 1936 (he was born in '31). He looks happy enough for a guy riding a pretend pony - those depression years were tough, what with the splinters and all. He later went on to ride Seafury aircraft for the Canadian Navy - much better than a pony and with bigger guns.
