Arnold Ernest Gehrke has born in Commanda, Ontario on June 30th, 1923, and served overseas during World War II. We are so honoured that Arnold shared with us his touching – and funny! – memories of growing up in Commanda during the depression.
705BLACKFLY.COM is partnering with the Commanda General Store Museum to preserve stories like Arnold’s for future generations. Like many not-for-profit agencies, the museum is trying to rebuild after the Covid-19 pandemic. Please donate or volunteer to keep important projects like this going.
