Lillian (Hay) MacDonald

I didn’t work very long at central. Shortly after I started I got scarlet fever and it took me a long time to get over that. I do remember some things – Janet McCormick would make dinner and take the board while I ate.

In those days lots of people would call central to ask what the time was. I remember the day Pearl MacDonald (the daughter of Christy Grant and Alex (Charlie) MacDonald) married John Ross MacLeod. They are Donaldson MacLeod’s parents. Pearl called a couple of times on the morning of the wedding to ask for the exact time. I asked Janet if the clock at central was right. She said, “I don’t know. Probably not, but it can’t be too far off.” I guess Pearl did get to the church on time. Anyway, that is how I figured out just when I worked at central. It was October 1942.
