Young Gilles Fontaine, posing on the front porch in his double-breasted suit jacket, necktie and crew cut. The house number above the door of the duplex shows 7637 and 7635 on the adjacent home. This may have been somewhere in the Grenville, Québec or Hawkesbury, Ontario area. The two towns are across the Ottawa River from each other as showing on the map link here. And this is thanks to the “Photos Ltd” stamp on the back under which we can decipher their locations of “Hawkesbury ONT” and a town ending in “ville” QUE. (Lots of those!)
