I use Internet Explorer 7, as well, and I don't have any problems viewing the NSHVS records.

I had contacted ARM about the images not showing up, and they said were a few compatibility issues with the ViewPoint Viewer. After speaking with them, the problem is with Explorer 7, ViewPoint Viewer does not work with Explorer 7!

Her various interests are reflective of her lifelong commitment to spouse, family and friends. She was active in the Engineering Wives Association of Nova Scotia and was a lifetime member of the UCW. Her marriage of over 50 years to Jack was highlighted by many areas of common pursuit including curling, leisure travel, and card playing, particularly enjoying the opportunity of playing in several social bridge clubs. Yet, another passion was golfing. In an era when they were rare, Elsie was one of the first "lefties" traversing the Lingan Golf Club fairways. The advent of grandchildren brought out the loving duty of presiding over the weekly Sunday feast. Just a faint hint of praise was all it took to ensure that Elsie's passion for cooking and baking would produce a sumptuous meal with all the trimmings. She was predeceased by husband, Jack, five sisters and six brothers. Elsie is survived by daughter, Pam Stevens; son-in-law, Dave Johnston and grandchildren, Steven and Lauren Johnston, all of Sydney. Also surviving are sister, Marjorie Harrison (Wally), California; sisters-in- law, Pat Parker, Amherst, N.S. and Thelma Pepper, Saskatoon.
