prompt #6 from prompts for april 2026 by justrojie

Thanks Rojie!!!😁

Hi, me I would greatly like to speak to two ancestors. 1 is my great grandfather Napoleon Villeneuve and the 2nd is my grandfather, his son in law, Loyola Matte.

Napoleon 1) What was in that green liquid in a bottle you would use on aboriginals and European stock hunters/traders when they would come out of the bush covered in boils, cuts, and infuriating bug bites when you ran your barbershop up in Gogama (jumping fish in Ojibway) Ontario? Town where Joe Laflamme the wolfman who owned a moose friend ran a brothel, robbed trains, starred in Hollywood, wolfsledded in New York Times Square, lived before moving to Montre. to become a cop.

Pepe 2) How the heck did you and mamie Irene moto on a Harley eloping from Ottawa? To Toronto in January weather? Snow? no????? AND???? Which hockey game out of the series at the 1972 Canadian/Russia games did you drop the puck for? AND!!! When you had the Stanley Cup in safe keeping at your place…..did you snuggle up to it when everybody else was asleep??? Lol!!! (Brewery man my grand-dad, CEO Labatt-Carling Eastern division>>>>”He brought Carlsberg to Canada” I am told.

Unreal!

I’m curious about these curios!!

Cheers!!!

Thanks Ro. for the prompt!!!
