I recall Ralph's retirement from General Motors, after which he embraced his passions for showing vintage movies (long before the age of video) to any and all who loved them, and for restoring and repairing bicycles. Marjorie and Ralph's visits to Ola and Carl Tuck's farm, and later Ola's home in Smiths Falls, were always a welcome and delightful event. /AW

From Ralph and Marjorie's granddaughter: "... My grandma and grandpa lived right next to us in the trailer park at 1010 Dundas St. East (Whitby). Papa's yard was attached by a gate to our backyard. He had his bike shop in a garage in our yard and every year we got a new bike. A lot of my school friends would come to our house to get Papa to look at their bikes and fix brakes and whatever else needed fixing. Nannie Smith would do all the trimming and painting on the bikes for Papa that he sold. They were a real team. We also had reel to reel movie night at our house every Saturday and Sunday nights for a long time. Papa Smith would put on shows like The Thrill of it All-Doris Day and Oh Susanna (The Gale Storm Show), The Little Rascals, and a favorite of his and us all was Laurel and Hardy. He had all kinds of them. We sometimes had our friends over to watch movies too.

Nannie Smith was a wonderful quilter and also loved to make clothes pin furniture for doll houses. We have a newspaper clipping of her that I will send you as soon as I hunt it up. I think it was titled "The Friendly Giant," and shows a picture of her and the dolls and furniture. We also have a picture of her and a wedding quilt she made and won first prize for that has all our family on it. Nannie Smith loved to clog dance and she belonged to a clog dancing group. Papa Smith used to call her his "Dancing Dolly." ..."
