Aunt Bessie, Uncle Bob, little Dorothy Jane Lavoie singing Christmas carols in the early 1960s.
View Royal resident Don McCormick clicked on a Facebook group post on Old Victoria BC and voices from his past rang out.
The post, written by Alan Gilsmith, asked if the last name “Lavoy or Lavoie” rang a bell with anyone. He attached a short video of the tape being played on a reel-to-reel machine. Someone is talking about Liberace. A little girl is singing Away in a Manger. There is a lot of giggling in the background. Then a woman says the tape is being made to send to Bruce for Christmas “and we want everybody in it. This is your warmup.”“Wow … that’s my family … BINGO you found us,” he wrote. “Uncle Bob, Aunt Bessy and Dorothy Jane. Uncle Bruce was in Washington. Aunt Bessy worked at Spencer Castle.
“The family is sort of excited,” said McCormick, who will send the recordings to his cousins Dorothy Jane and Cathy, who live in Kelowna now.
