FOND MEMORIES OF MARVILLE FRANCE
It is always a wonderful surprise
to find something while treasure
hunting that can trigger many fond memories. As a child I had
the good fortune to grow up in a
military family. My wonderful parents Melford and Gladys Gummer ensured that wherever we lived we took in all the Culture
and History of the area. This obviously started my interest in Antiques at a young age. This lighter is now a wonderful symbol to me of our 4 years spent in Marville France. I purchased it at
an Auction in Campbellford Ontario, not far from the military base in Trenton. It would be wonderful to know the History. Did it belong to a pilot and possibly was in his flight suit in a cf-104 flying over the Ardennes Hills in France? We'll never know but it is now a cherished treasure of my time spent in France.
