About This Item
Mississauga: David L. Cook Book. As New. Soft cover. Signed by Author(s). First Edition.. Fading History- stories of historical interest relating to Missisauga, touches on a wide range of topics. Each of the 14 chapters tells a different story. There are chapters on great football players, golfers, the once world-renowned 400-bed Workmen's Compensation Hospital, a 2000-seat Broadway music theatre under a tent at Dixie Plaza, flying saucers, the manufacturer of the Lancaster bomber .flying saucers ?????? Yes, you read correctly, we actually built and flew an honest to goodness flying saucer right here in Mississauga. Now, many of the old timers will surely remember when A.V. Roe had its top secret Project Y under wraps in the 1950s. Later we all discovered it was a real flying saucer. Plenty of pictures make this chapter come alive. For the sports minded, I tell the story of the great Toronto Argonaut player Teddy Morris. Just after the war years, Teddy, who lived on the 6th Line, Malton, took the Boatmen to six Grey Cup wins. Another footballer, Port Credits Bobby Cunningham Jr, was a standout player for the Montreal Als in their 1949 Grey Cup win..
