The Gathering was held on the grounds of the old schoolhouse at Ekfrid, Ontario, now the Tait's Corners Community Centre. The address on Google Maps is 21365 Taits Rd, Glencoe, Ontario. The photos were taken Saturday, July 22, 1995. Unfortunately, I can identify very few people, so I need all the help I can get. Please email me with names and/or corrections.
Marion Dobie (1911-2004) is holding the Dobie Drive street sign. I don't remember any of the details about the sign, nor do I remember who is with her. Photo was taken inside the old Ekfrid schoolhouse. Marion supplied me with many envelopes full of hand-written lists and notes, which are the foundation of the Canadian Dobie section of my genealogy database.

Back row, far left is David Franklin Dobie with his father, George Norman Dobiie II to his immediate right;
Morgan Coulthard, the grandson of Louisa (Dobie) Shermerhorn, is 7th from the left in the back row.
2nd Row from the back: The vacant chair on the left is where I was sitting; next right is Louisa (Dobie) Shermerhorn from Winnipeg;
about three seats to the right is a smiling woman in blue -- that's my mother, Margaret (Carlson) Dobie (1908-2010);
Marion Dobie is about four spaces further right, with her face only partly visible.
I can't identify anyone else.

Looking at the Taits Corners Community Centre. Great photos of people's backs and backsides!
Children's games. Some of these kids probably have families of their own now.
