Here is Jerome doing his favorite job,

We did find time to relax with a beer now
and then.

One Sunday evening around 10:00 P.M.,
Jerome came back into the hut from a
"nature call," and said there was a freight
standing on the passing track over at the
gravel pit. We grabbed up a few beers,
we always had a supply of beer under
our bunks, and headed over to where the
steamer was sitting. The engineer and
fireman said we could come on up into
the cab, so we did. We offered them a
beer and had a nice conversation with
them. We found out they were waiting for
the "Newfie Bullet" to pass. Soon the
Bullet appeared out of the darkness with
two steamers on the point and went
roaring through headed for Clarenville.
After the Bullet went through we asked if
we could ride into Clarenville with them.
"No problem," was the reply and off we
went. When we reached Shoal Harbour
they slowed down a-bit and Jerome and I
jumped off. We walked back to camp
and arrived just in time for work call that
morning. Jerome Young Photograph

On this day Jerome was captured on film
at the washing machine.
These next two scenes were capture on
Jerome's camera on a weekend walk into
Clarenville from Camp-I at the Shoal Harbour
gravel pit. The photo on the right has Jerome
conversing with two young Newfoundlanders
in Burseys Cut. The bottom photo has Jerome
standing in front of the Clarenville United
Church.
