Getting To Know… Gertrude Anna Frank
Gertrude was born in Burlaye
Germany in the 1930’s. She had 4
brothers and 3 sisters whom all
lived on the farm in Burlaye. Her
Mother worked from home and her
Dad owned a construction business
and a grocery store at one point.
Gertrude grew up during the war
and had school every second day.
She lived in Germany for 22 years
and worked for a company that cut
dried and packed moss. Gertrude
would pack the moss. Gertrude later
moved to Canada because her sister
Maria (nicked named Mimi)
married a Canadian Soldier and wanted someone to come to Canada with her.
Gertrude came to Canada on the Seven Seas ship to Quebec City. Her brother in
law then picked her up and brought her to Montreal where they all lived. She
first started cleaning houses to make money with her sister Maria. She met her
husband Emil Frank at a German Dance in Montreal. He worked for the
Molson’s brewery. They married in 1959. Gertrude went on to work in the
catering business in Montreal. She worked for Rene Pankalla who was the
owner and name of the catering business. It was the best catering in Montreal
and to this day, still operating and known as the best catering. It was through
that business she got to cater and meet George Harrison (The Beatles), Micheal
Schumacher (professional race car driver) and Guy Lafleur (Professional
hockey player). She has a son, daughter and 4 grandsons. Their newest addition
to the family is a 9 week old poodle.
Morgan Weistling Papa's Tea
Morgan was always noted for his life-touching paintings. He was inspired by his artistic parents. His father was an
artist and met his mom at art school. He started art training when he was 19 months old! His father was the first art
teacher who gave a solid foundation in the subject. He worked as a Hollywood illustrator for several years before
selecting an artistic career. To his surprise, all the paintings in his exhibition were sold on the opening night!
Morgan paintings are characterized with soft brush strokes and vivid colors.
A Very Warm Welcome:

Vicckies and Rod Neufeld, Shirley Summers, Anne Patrick,
