It's deep and cold December night,as song goes,but to liberty this afternoon and look up Edgar Nelson Rhodes.Many years ago mother brought a picture of Edgar Nelson Rhodes,on back picture is note dated 2/10/1973 stating this picture is hanging in House of Commons(Canada) it goes on say Dad was speaker 1917-1921 and house of Parliament was rebuilt after fire and was Deputy Speaker at time(night) of fire.I can make signature to me it look like ludlnles(doesn't make sense) above the note is a sticker saying Frank Jarman Reg'd then address 1622 Carling Ottawa Ont and above in writing ink 11469-A circle about in ink.
Around 2002 or 03 I try looked up Edgar Nelson Rhodes find nothing told mother and she was disappoint which hate doing.Break her heart I didn't want a car.She could be very nasty but a very soft spots at times even though she mean and vindictive to point being crazy,sometime I felt she needed enemy somebody to hate,but there was a sweetness about at times.Anyway I find on Wikipedia stuff about Edgar Nelson Rhodes(mom's now dead) who,indeed, was speaker of Canadian House of Commons from 1917-21 also member of Cabinet quite politics to become President of British-Nickel Company which went bust in 1925 went back to politics and become Premier of Nova Scotia.
