Martin before we met.

Halifax 1943

Cute chubby baby. He grew into a heart throb, over the years.

Three years before we met. He was beginning to look like the Mart I came to know and love.

Leaving for Canadian Canoe Championships, Ottawa

I met Mart, for the first time, in a packed stairwell in Dartmouth High, shortly after this photo was taken. It was the fall of 1960, he was 18, I was 17. Someone pushed me into his chest, he caught me in his arms. I was in love. But I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend. We spent some months becoming acquainted before we made the breaks with our “others” and we began dating in February, 1961. Wow! 63 years ago and it is still very fresh in my mind.

My name is Alice Giddy and I am married to Kevin Wood. I am chronologically old but have a brand new hip. I will be getting another one soon! I used to live, on the ocean for 36 years, in Sambro, Nova Scotia. In the fall of 2022, I moved to a childhood neighbourhood in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I love it! I love memories it gives from my earliest school days through my final year of high school. Precious to me.
