RE: Toronto Canada 1967
So, doesn't Paul read this stuff? Can an admin email him and ask? I'm telling you it's true and would imagine Paul would enjoy reading this thread. I heard this story all my life from my Mom. I must confess at the risk of facing a lynch mob in here, I'm not much of a Beatles fan but do have a tremendous amount of respect for Paul as a human being and the efforts he's made to make our world a better place to live. (he probably got that qaulity from his neighbors lol) The only reason I'm here is to tell this cool story for die-hard McCartney fans. Help me out Paul lol!

RE: Toronto Canada 1967
OK, I talked to Mom. It was 6 weeks and she said I was just learning to talk/walk so it was August 1965. (possibly 66- I'm a slow learner!)) The neighbor was Paul's Mom's friend from Liverpool and the girl's name was Amanda. She was sick, but it was that she was homesick. She was from England too. Paul went over and cheered her up. My Mom said she talked to him out in the yard and there's no doubt in her mind that it was Paul McCartney. The street was actually Sonmore Dr.

RE: Toronto Canada 1967
The only thing I could say to that is maybe it wasn't 67. She told me I was 3 years old and that would have been 1967. Maybe she was wrong and it was 65 or 66. It would have had to be before 1969 because that's when we moved to the States. The only other variable would be the length of the visit. maybe it was 6 weeks. Who knows.

Toronto Canada 1967
Just dropping by to say hello and tell a little interesting story that my Mom told me about. When i was 3 years old my parents had a place in Scarboro (suburb of Toronto) The story is that Paul wanted to get away from all the publicity for a while so he stayed with his Mom's friend (Mrs. Mitchell) next door to our house for 6 months. It was a secret with an exception of a young girl who lived across the street who was terminally ill. From what I undersand, Paul went over there with candy and spent time with her to cheer her up. My Mom tells me that she remebers doing dishes, looking out the window thinking to her sell that the kid cutting grass next door looks an awful lot like Paul McCartney! All my life I've always wondered if this is a true story. I/my Mom may be off a year or 2 but I always thought, why would she make all this up!? Anyway- PEACE! Turbolarry
