[Bourg.ged] Peter Albert was a good man and a wonderful Uncle. He was more widely read and much better informed than anyone would believe. He never swore, but he had a collection of epithets that expressed his feelings; "Wouldn't that frost ya??" And he was a philosopher. So much so that the priest remarked on this fact at Uncle's funeral.
[Bourg.ged] Peter Alvin was a grand fellow, and one of the greatest cousins ever. He was just like Sara Lee - "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee or Alvin." It is often remarked and it is true that "Things just aren't the same without Alvin." He was a fine athlete, lettering in football, basketball and baseball at Elk River High. He was an excellent craftsman. One did not have to examine a woodworking project too carefully to determine whether Alvin had been a party to it. He was a good man, honest and direct, loyal, fair, accommodating, generous to a fault, helpful, invariably pleasant, . . one could go on and on. Alvin was an aircraft carburetor mechanic.
(Possibly on 1666 Trois Rivieres, QC census as Helie Bourbaut, age 45, with wife and brother Pierre)
