For this episode I interview Norm Shoemaker, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Norm is 96, and was born and raised in Guelph, so it may not come as huge surprise that we bonded over local history! I learned of some places that were new to me (including the Guelph Casket Factory) and got a wonderful glimpse into a Guelph many decades before my time. Norm is appreciative of the experiences he has had in his life, and has settled in to accept the days ahead, however many there may be. This was lovely and I’m so appreciative of Norm indulging my curiosity!
