This blog is dedicated to the clients from Dawson Court lodge that I met while working as a nurse's aide during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Anne Geddes, George Maycock, Miss Herd, little Doris, and Miss Friday were some of the vibrant characters that spent the end of their lives as disabled citizens living in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
I was not a mental health client then but shortly after I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and given amphetamines.
