| Comments: | Capreol has been a long part of my family's history. My Father Don Judd grew up there and his father is C.R. Judd. I heard many a story of Capreol as I was growing up and I have visited but in quite a long time. When I saw this website, supporting it became the perfect way to say Happy Father's day to the world's best dad. Thanks for being here.

| Comments: | I really wish to thank so many posters for their efforts and contributions to assist me in finding my long lost Boudreau family from Capreol...
Unfortunately, I am a decade too late but at last my mind is at rest. A few siblings and wives remain and we have found each other... How strange that decades of searching revealed nothing while one simple post here brought forth to my aid the true spirit of love, caring and understanding that can never be lost...the very hearts of real Capreolites... There are so many that have helped that my list would seem endless here so I will just say "Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for closing a gap in my lifeline. Your meaningful thoughts are not to be forgotten ever..." I want also to pitch an ad or two here. Ken Lynn, with the Capreol Museum, it composing a pictoral history of Capreol for a museum display and would really appreciate receiving earlier generation photographs of people and places... Also, Ricki Lamerieux is still doing his entertaining and has yet some openings ahead. His prices are "cheap" but he himself is a priceless entertainer whom leaves a piece of his heart with all those he shares his talent with...remember him when the need arises... Thank you too, Gary, for this "Dreambook" site. It's a wonderful idea and offers more than what one would expect... God bless... |

| Comments: | Haven't visited this for some time but just did and enjoyed the posts. Our family lived in Capreol from 64-68. Bill Ireland's post mentioned some of the same people I knew when we lived in Capreol - I'm interested to know where and how they are, too. Also, Janice Dines, Jill Harvey, Gary Burke, Wendy MacDonald, Mary Spence...a few others....
This is a great website! |

| Comments: | Well, I tried this earlier and was sent a notice of a software failure...OOOPS...!
It does appear so many posts here are of generations after mine as I lived in Capreol in the mid forties... It does appear my siblings have done well to make progress over the years and the earmarks of memory they have created are a worthy treasure... I guess I was living on the wrong side of the tracks then but I took hold of the adventure of Capreol and do feel it somehow has influenced my life to this very day... Something of memory for my siblings of family and extended families. I attended a two room school with six grades in each room...GULP...! Nyoka and Larry was the matinee serial on Saturday. 25 cents would buy me a haircut, s matinee ticket, a small bag of popcorn and I would have two pennies to bring back to mom... According to posts here, Capreol has progressed tremendously while yet retaining the beauty of memories for those generations behind me. Congratulations as well as a happy birthday wish are in order for all those making this evolution a grand success... Meanwhile, if anyone would like to email me with information about the Boudreau family and relatives there, I truly would appreciate it...Donat, Ray, Jim, Patsy...etc etc... Thanx to all and may God always give blessings to you and yours... Ray Boudreau |

| Comments: | Finding this site by accident was an awesome find for me. I have enjoyed reading the posts and even to find familiar places.
Let's see now...when I lived in Capreol, she was about 18 years old...WOW...! I am not old, I am ancient history...! Black bear ran around our back yard like do dogs today. The railroad tracks ended and trains turned around in Capreol. Nyoka and Larry was the serial at the movie house matinee. My mom would give me twenty-five cents twice a month and that would buy my haircut, a movie ticket, a small bag of popcorn and I had a penny to bring back home... My, how life and "culture" does change after sixty-five years...! If anyone has contact with "any" of the Boudreau family in Capreol I would really appreciate having their email address Please help me if you are able... Happy Birthday and God bless Capreol, the very foundation of caring... Ray Boudreau Indiana USA |

I spent my early years on Beech Cres.until my father got transferred to FE when I was 10. I loved living there nad have many fantastic memories of Capreol. I have been back a couple of times but not in about 15 years. It is nice to see that some things never change. I wish that I would have kept in touch with some of my old friends so that I had a reason to return to see it again after all of this time. |

| Comments: | I led the best band in the North for 7 years. 'Best' because all the members came from Capreol: Jim Boudreau, Ray Constantin, Ken Menzies, John Meserschmit, all railroaders, though John only for a little while. Had our own tv show for 2 years (Ricki Lamoureux Show) - and wowed all the stars from Taranta (TO) when we backed them up long before big amps killed our business. When I lived in Capreol, I went to school with Doug Mohns, and one of the Mazzuca boys, but can't be sure which one. I consider Val a close friend, but he is about 3 years too young to have been in my class. Fond memories of my first love Faye McKay and her talented dad (& Sally too); Terry White who lived across from me (in Doug Christenson's house), Bunky McKinnon; Jeanne Dubois & brother ?; Very fond memories of most of the names mentioned in other people's notes: Ivan Lalonde's drug store; also Bertrand Bros. grocery store where dad was butcher with a "Kutchaw?" - Danny Gaudette too - and I hate to day it but I delivered groceries on my bike at Larry's Supermarket in Sudbury when Danny Gaudette's mom worked there and still single!! - I loved them all dearly and still is in touch with Ken & Ray Constantin. Too bad Jim B. passed away about 6 years ago. Oh, I must mention Maurice Gelinas, the golden voice like Bing Crosby who sang with us often. THE CAPREOL BLESSING CONTINUES: I was a printer who went to Toronto Telegram paper in '63, found my trade disappearing (computers) and wound up pro entertainer internationally, and still doing it at my age of 75 1/2 from Cape Breton to Vancouver, all seniors' homes. In the interim, I had wound up travelling with the Vegas Revue starring Jackie Vernon; command performance at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, and was top earner with Holiday Inn chain for 5 years ('70 to '74) till they got silly and went after the delicate rock crowd who never did learn how to drink, got themselves killed on highways in such numbers that MADD was dedicated to closing them down. - I do go on too much, but love you all - Ricki Lamoureux |

| Comments: | I never lived in Capreol. I know it is a true railway town. I live in Vancouver, B.C. now. In 1977 and 1978, I resided in Ottawa. I work for the railway. One evening, I boarded the westbound CN Super Continental ( CN's transcontinental Passenger train) in Montreal to return to Ottawa in 1977. I would have been about 20 years old then. I sat next to a young lady from Capreol. Her name was Carolyn Sbrega. I fell in love with her, but things didn't work out. I met her parents ( Hank is her dad) on a VIA Rail train approaching Vancouver in 1986. They were surprised to meet somebody out in B.C. who knew and cared for her daughter. I often wonder to this day how Carolyn is doing and would love to hear from her if anyone here could pass on my E-mail to her who knows her. |

10 years ago I went back with my husband, detour from Elliot Lake. I wanted to take him to see the dump and the bears. Couldn't find it, it was covered over :). I enjoyed pointing out our old house, "German Mountain" where we had so much fun and Ella Lake. I miss the wild blueberries and snowmobiling. It was nice to find one of my old friends, Leanne Larmondin on facebook. |

My husband Don Erickson and I met there over 32 years ago. And have been happily married for 30 years come July 2009!Thanks to a good friend Debbie Heckman! We now live in Amherstburg (outside Windsor,On). |

| Comments: | Went up in August but missed the celebrations again. If I can go again I am going to make a point of being there for the celebration on the civic holiday weekend.
I met Ken Lynn and saw the old school car, I attended. Mr. Sloman and his wife were great people. My daughter nearly flipped when I walked in the school car and said "holy cow, that was my seat." I thought my daughter's jaw was going to drop through the floor. I talked to Ken Lynn about the pics I have of my dad Pete Cheneir, and my stories of dad on the bull gangs and my mom Mary feeding them. My dad also operated the snow plow, and was section foreman of Capreol yard for a lot of years. It was so nice to talk to someone who remembered......I can not express my gratitude enough to all those who work so hard on putting the history of Capreol on the map. I am so proud to say.....my home town is Capreol. Since my fantastic Careol neighbour got me signed up to this guest book 2 years ago, I have talked to many old dear friends and welcome all their emails and messages. I can be found on face book under may maiden name too ( Linda Chenier Stuart)if anyone wants to chat and share pics. I sure as hang do not look anything like I used to. Ken Lynn said he recognized my face, so hot damn I ain't changed that much. Maybe I am just imagining all those wrinkle lol....... I will be adding to the history book when I can find time with photos of my mom and dad and other stories. I want to go back next year for the celebrations but it will depend on my health and my fiances. So God willing I will be there for the big events. Luv to all Lind Chenier (Lyn Stuart) |

| Comments: | Scrolling through the pages of Dreambook - Capreol was so great to see so many familiar names I once went to School with. Yes good OL "CAPREOL" was a legend in the ol days when I lived across the Vermillion River past 3 bridges (my favourite the "SWINGING BRIDGE" which many a time I dove off to swim. Actually I learned to swim being pushed off the SWINGING BRIDGE an oh yes it really did swing although now all that is left are the cables spanning the river from
side to side. I remember the day the STEAM ENGINES ruled the rails. Those massive wheels and the old engines. Thank God Capreol has this type of Engine as a Museum Artifact. Capreol in it's day was the greatest town ever to have grown up in and schooled. Capreol used to have four passenger trains arriving and separating to Montreal and Toronto daily. The Railway (CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS) was the focal point of placing Capreol on the map. I remember when the trains had to be air conditioned with blocks of ice in the summer, cut in winter from the river and the blocks of ice stored in the ice house. There was also a stock yard where the railway would unload cattle, pigs etc. to be fed before being reloaded to their final destination. Capreol was blessed with a theatre (which I worked at at age 13 for the Bilsborough's. At 12 I would get up t 4 in the morning and work at Dapp's Bakery. Capreol had a Drug Store (Lalond's) Drago's Men's Wear Lepki's Grocery Nepitt's Grocery and Oil Mazzuca's (Val) Grocery Frank Mazzuca Furniture Store 2 Chineese Restaurants I so member "CHOWS CAFE" Bob Mazucca Service and Auto George and Flo Martiniuk Hotel. I so remember the Martiniuk Hotel a Grand Hotel boasting Grand Front Steps where all the older men mostly CNR working men sitting and talking and so so much more. I have to close off for now till next time take care and love to all my family. You new Generation you really missed out on the good ol days my Generation, but everyone has their own generation. I only know I am so glad I was born March 17 in the right year and generation. Hello to Sister Helen & George & Kim & all in good ol Parry Sound. Love B O B B Y |

| Comments: | It is so nice to sign in and see so many familiar names. You bring back fond memories of my home town. We talk about it often, my friends and family, and one thing we all agree upon and that it was the best place to grow up. Quiet, quaint and safe...no locked doors here...I remember the last day of school when my classmates and I had to tidy up the school yard before we could leave for the summer and those long hot summer days down at the river where if you were lucky, escape from being pushed off the end of the dock! And then there was the long, long dog paddle to the Island, Indian Rock and Slant Island. You cannot find that anywhere else can you! When my sister, Sandra and I went home last summer, my nephew Scott took us on a canoe ride. We started at the marsh behind the CN Station and portaged past the Iron Bridge. In all my years growing up, I never realized what really was behind Capreol and I discovered that 40 years later. We were in awe of the natural beauty that we were privileged to have been a part of growing up in Capreol and don't even get me started on the winters. Forever always, Capreol is my home, true north home.

| Comments: | We visited yesterday for the first time in years. A lot of memories after growing up there for 16yrs and visiting from Hornepayne. Took a lot of pictures - was thrilled that the High School was open so we took pics and had a blast, Cindy even remembered her locker number. Kudos to those involved in keeping the place in such great shape. If only the gym were open for us to shoot some hoops :-) Didn't realize the upper level was a motel until I looked at the website today. Would have loved to make the 90th but I was on-call (yes CN) that weekend. We'll be back. Love to hear from any old (yeah sorry, we are) friends/classmates.

| Comments: | CAPREOL GOOD OLE "C A P R E O L" What a God given gift to have been born there. So many childhood memories I dream about every day. Most of my family of 11 children (Gary Glenda Helen Wayne Carol-Ann Maurice (Joe) Edward Robert Norman Sandra Susan was born into an era of hardship (I would not consider Poverty) but difficult times but the difficulties were nurtured by my great parents Kathleen and Maurice Gelinas. My grandparents Peter & Katrina who immigrated from Austria to at point intheir life settled in Capreol. I could write a book my great life in Capreol. Since leaving Capreol I have travelled the Globe Africa Spain Hawaii California now Vancouver always wishing I was still in Capreol. I was to settle once again in Capreol only to be told by my sisters Capreol would not be the Capreol I once knew. If I could only turn the hand of time back. Capreol was the greatest town in the world at my time so much to offer thanks to CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS. Capreol was a very busy town in it's Golden era only to now be settling in dust as the farm lands of the United States have become. Capreol in my time would be the best described
to as the Little House on the Prairie seen through my eyes. I remember having to cross three bridges to go to school the SWINGING BRIDGE THE OLD RAILLINE BRIDGE AND A LITTLE BOARD WALK BRIDGE TO CLIMB UP THE ENBANKMENT TO THE CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY TRACKS. CAPREOL has changed as to the great people I once knew are no longer. If I could only be back to grade one school age. Thank God that there is a place in life for one to dream. My brother Norman and I always can be noted for (REMEMBER WHEN)? Capreol till next time hello to all my classmates and Sellwood neighbors. LOVE YA CAPREOL P.S. MY FATHER MAURICE GELINAS ALONG WITH FRED RICCI WERE AMONG MANY WHO POSITIONED THE OLD LOCOMOTIVE AT IT'S FINAL RESTING PLACE ***** |

| Comments: | Hi Everyone, Capreol will be turning 90 Years Young this summer. They have some great ideas on Capreol Forum, please check it out and add your own. Not sure who Leanne is but my hat is off to her and her wonderful ideas. (Thank you Leanne.) I wouldn't have known about it unless I checked out that site. I think this will be an awesome get together and a wonderful experience for young and old to enjoy.
Happy Easter Everyone. |

| Comments: | This is a great website! We were just in Capreol yesterday, and realized that we missed the reunion! I haven't been there since the last reunion I attended 24 years ago. (yikes!...I'm showing my age) I loved growing up in Capreol...I left in 1973 when I was 14 to move to Barrie...and I have lived here ever since. I consider Barrie my home, but Capreol is my hometown and I'll never forget the great years I had there. I wish I could have kept in touch with more of the people that I grew up and shaped my life, but you don't often realize what you miss until you are older.
I'll continue to visit this website to keep in tune. Thanks! |

| Comments: | When someone asks me where I grew up, I always say Capreol. I was only there for 8 years but it was the most formative years of my life. When I dream of home it is always 8 Bloor St. C.R. Judd and Capreol High were the best schools ever. When I came back from out west 4 years ago I tried to find a place to live in Cap because it is a great place to raise kids. I wasn't able to graduate from Cap High but I was there from '84 to '86.

| Comments: | As much as I said I hated Capreol when I was growing up, looking back now I wouldn't trade a second of it for anything and am SO grateful that I got to grow up in such a tight-knit town with such great people who truly make up the spirit of our little home. My mom tried to move away but it kept calling her back and she's there now living happier than ever, and I know I won't be able to fight the urge for too long and will also find myself living in the relaxation and comfort of my home town sometime in the near future. I took all the greatness of Capreol for granted during my teenage years, but I guess that's why I appreciate it so much now and soak as much of it up as I can when I get the chance to visit. I hope that someday the economy will pick up again and the town will thrive on its greatness. Cheers to Capreol! |

I live in Collingwood now but when I left Capreol I moved to Thornbry for 29 year and here for 20 so have been away along time. Last trip home had my 11yr.old granddaughter with me and she loved the Prescott Park and got to go in the Engine and Cabbosse. Have another Grand daughter do a school project about my dad Harold Prescott's Park and Train. Got very good marks on her project as she got the pictures from your web site So keep up the good work .

We were theonly kids Known as the Masonic Hall Kids> I think it would be great to here from these fellow clasmates and possibly have a reunion especially since our teacher is still in Capreol.There are a lot of great memories from that year I think it was 1960. I would love to here from some of my classmates from that time.And better yet ,how about just saying Hi and Thanks to a wonderful woman who became a very important part of our childhood memories.OUR GRADE 4 TEACHER< we will never forget you.Thank you love LEONA MARTIN (Guenette)

I'm working as an xray tech in Toronto (Near Jane and Finch..great place to be lol) living with my sister and bro-in-law Jen and Neil MacLean..and of coarse my way too funny neice Norah. George and Debbie (mom and dad) are still in Hornepayne and are retired..all my dad plans on doing is fishing..i'd imagine he'd be going to Thor Lake a lot also. Its funny to see some of my sister's friends post on here, i recognize a lot of names from when I was really little. I'm sure it will be odd for them to hear from the little girl who Jen used to babysit ALL the time, who is now 20 and has a career..lol

| Comments: | I forgort to say that I lived some really awesome years in Capreol. Every now and then I visit and drive around the streets and just remember all the good times, and there were many. We use to run a muck! All in fun though. Things have changed so much, I can't believe it. It's still home though. The tree in front of 12 Highland Cres. is getting HUGE! Anyways, again, all the best to all in Capreol. |

| Comments: | I have great memories of Capreol.I lived in the valley and went to the dances in the 60's at the arena. Had a lot of good times in Capreol. I lived there for a couple of years and worked at Krazy Ray's convenience store and then moved to Sudbury. Would love to see some old friends again. Hopefully they will have Capreol Days this year. Hi to Gary Milks, whom I haven't seen in ages. |

| Comments: | Just sitting here taking a look at the comments written about Leona's shop....I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I READ! Before I moved away, I used to be faithful to Leona's business (even though Diane was the one who did my hair for years). I looked forward to my visits home so that I could go down to Gentle Touch and let the girls work their magic. |

| Comments: | I'll really miss getting my hair done at the shop when I visit Capreol. The atmosphere, the laughs, being made to feel special... When you left the hairdressing shop, you not only looked good, you felt good. Not everyone is gifted with this talent. Leona took so much pride in her work and she loved her customers. We all know she wasn't planning on retiring for another 3 years. She would never walk out on her customers this way as they meant too much to her. They were like an 'extended family' to her. What a loss for Capreol!
We all have memories from over the years. How about we share some of them. Here's one of my laughs that goes back over 40 years....yes, she was hairdressing at that time! ...Leona was hairdressing in Southern Ontario where we both lived. I was at the shop getting my hair done when a customer walked in laughing. She saw a little girl about 5 years old sitting on the doorstep of the shop, smoking a cigarette. That little girl was my daughter, Leona's niece. Love you Leona....your big sis. |

| Comments: | to Disgruntled Daughter, I can really sympathise with you. Your mom has been my loyal hairdresser for years before I moved away and I am really ashamed to see how she was treated. She is and always will be the best hairdresser capreol ever had. I hope she is open to doing house runs because I still want her services when I go back for visits. She was not only a great hairdresser but also a wonderful therapist when I needed to talk. Too bad for the people who ran her out .... they lost the best. |

| Comments: | I'd like to thank ALL the people in Capreol who supported my mom and treated her with respect and dignity, as the wonderful woman she is. For supporting her business the past 19 years. You gave her a reason to wake in the mornings.
I DO NOT thank the people who have just tossed her life out the window and forced her into early retirement. My mom MADE her shop and made the people of Capreol beautiful, handsome and happy with her jokes and smiles and how she treated everyone special. Just want my mom to know that she is still THE BEST HAIRDRESSER in the universe and that Capreol shall miss her...'cause I do! |

| Comments: | I'm baaaack! Never thought I would come back to Capreol (except to visit) but I am Home and with a wonderful, loving, caring, fun and exciting man to boot! It's nice to be back in a small town with a big heart. Soo many memories here and now we are back to make our memories come to life for my kids and make new memories so we can reminisce with grandchildren later on in life!! (Much later I hope) lol. It is so nice to see old friends and kids that I use to babysit now with their own families. (Scary, I feel soo old, but I am still young at heart). lol. It's great to be back home but it's better when you are with someone who shares some of the same memories with you and making more special ones together.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful & Healthy New Year. Sincerely; Lynn Roy |
