Notes about Roy SHERREN (twin)

Roy's Life;

He started working in the newspaper business at an early age by selling The Guardian on the streets. Since the family at this time was going through difficult times, his mother said that he would have to give her a half of his earnings. On the first day he made thirteen cents. He was in a dilemma as to how to divide this amount equally. He went to the local corner store and bought two hard-hats (a candy) for one cent. He returned home and gave his mother six cents and one of his hard-hat candies.

Roy served in the Royal Canadian Navy during WW II as a 1st Class Seaman. On his discharge he came home to Charlottetown where he worked as a lino-type operator at The Guardian newspaper office. Later he moved to St. John, New Brunswick and after a short stay, moved to Montreal, Quebec. Here he went to work for the Montreal Gazette as a computer operator and was soon promoted to foreman.

Alter a long courtship (due to religious differences) Roy was finally married to Miriam Girard from Bathurst, New Brunswick in 1952. During this waiting time, Miriam left Canada, and traveled extensively throughout Europe by hitch-hiking. Two years later, at Roy's insistence, she returned to Laval and they were immediately married.
