Marjorie ... HAVE YOU TAKEN A LOOK IN THE R.V.H. ( 2ND Floor ) There is a picture there of Helen Shanahan ( Head Nurse ) Donald Cameron C.E.O., and several of various Graduating Classes of Nurses, over the years. These used to hang in the Old R.V.H., before the move. Was Donald Cameron any relation ? Now THERE is a portrait painting !!!!!!!

One of them was my great aunt, Rose Cameron. A very descriptive report of the graduation in the Barrie Examiner of June 11, 1908 lists the graduates as Miss Mabel Fisher of Cookstown, Miss Rose Cameron, Shanty Bay, Miss Annie Atkinson, Wiarton, Miss Jennie Thompson, Stayner and Miss Alma McDonald, of Toronto. There was no 1908 class picture available for a book containing pictures and names of the nurses by the Alumni in the 1980's, so I think the only source might be a family collection.

Hi Paul, I am familiar with the wall of pictures as I volunteer at the hospital and used to work there. The picture that groups 1906-1908 does not contain the 1908 class, so I am hoping someone might have a picture in their family collection. Donald Cameron is not a relation, but he was a very popular director of the hospital. He made daily rounds to ALL areas of the hospital to speak to the staff and it made for a family like atmosphere. That doesn't happen anymore!!
