Ruth & George Crampton
|
Having fought for the allies as a Polish patriate during WW
II, my father had a choice (between 5 countries) to emigrate.
He chose Canada. Canadian law required that he work for a Canadian
family for 2 years - dad's family in Poland were farmers, so
he chose farm work. Dad began work at the Ed & Mary Crampton
farm in Kemble Ontario in 1946. The Cramptons' son George was
the same age as my father - George & Dad became just like
brothers - in fact, George taught my dad how to speak English.
In 1946, George married Ruth - the Cramptons have become lifelong
family friends.
