I know the place you are talking about very well. they also did work for airway Lincoln, which was a few blocks from St Bruno's. my brother and sister both went to Currie,then my sister later went to Lourdes. the gang I hung with Edwards boy's are mostly all gone now.or are getting really old. ut still fun times and good memories, heck even some of the bad times compared to today seem good.
