    Great photo. During that time you could often find my brother hanging around that same spot, often climbing the coal chute located just behind the photographer, a favourite place to watch the action.

    Hey, you can’t hang all the trespassing on me! ????
    Those were some great times in Washago climbing the coal chute, jumping into the river off the many bridges around town, and just being kids! :-)

    Oops, I meant to say “my brother and I”. Those were great times.
