I am the niece of Harry Chartrand and lived on the same street as he and my aunt my entire childhood. We lived 5 houses apart from one another, on Leland Avenue in the unincorporated part of the city of Whittier. Harry was married to my mother's sister, Lucille and we were very close. Harry and Lucille didn't have children of their own, but adopted all the kids in the neighborhood. They had Christmas parties every year for all the kids. It was wonderful. They also raised pigeons and enjoyed coin collecting. Harry passed away too soon of lung cancer. Lucille was never the same without him. I remember him speaking about Frieda and Skip. (?relatives on the Chartrand side?) I have photos somewhere and will have to learn how to scan. Harry bears a resemblance to Henry Chartrand in the above photo!
