: Picnic in the park Ihe Duenchs lived in the northeasrern outskirts of the comâ€" munity then, at the corner of Marshall Street and Regina Street North There were only four or five other houses to the east along Marshall Street at that tuime, and most of the rest of the land to the east was farmland, Morneau said However that being said, Waterloo Park was not a long walk away and Duench said she often walked to the park. Waterloo only had a population of 10,640 then and Duench also said she met many people she knew at the picnic As Duench remembers, the day was sunny although it must have been cool because she was wearing a light coat in the phoâ€" tograph. The number of mothers and babies in the photograph was about the total number who participated, about five each, and the event was held in front of the old park bandshell, next to the current day Lion‘s Lagoon As far as the baby contest went, Duench said she never had any noton that she and Marie were going to win and indeed they did Bill by the hand and began walking to Waterloo Park PanasonIc.

At first, she didn‘t see herself and Marie in the picture until she read the small story about the picnic and the baby contest under the photograph. "Well, 1 looked again at the picture and then it struck me, "Yes I was there,‘" Duench said. "Sure, there 1 am."" Duench doesn‘t remember eating anything at the picnic and doesn‘t remember if Bill entered any of the races that were going on for youngsters during the picnic, mostly to the northeast of the old bandshell in what is now called the oval. The western half of the park, west of the Waterloo St. Jacobs Railway tracks, wasn‘t developed in those days. ‘I was holding her there and the next thing 1 knew she had turned in to me.
