Welcome to the forum.
I spent the summer of 1969 in Goose Cove, just south of St. Anthony. I taught fishermen's kids to swim the 42 degree North Atlantic as part of summer camp duties. There were about 300 folks there then, and only cod fishing sustained them. I listened to the moon landing over the radio. My fishing family host patriarch claimed it was just American propaganda. I actually heard the statement, "If God had meant man to fly, he would have given him wings." Uncle Pierce Murrin.
The next summer I supervised numerous kid camps across Quebec, Labrador and NFLND from St. Anthony. Worked for the Grenfell Association which ran medical services and an orphanage. Flew out by float plane each week to remote villages.
It's a beautiful area with wonderful people. Where are you?
