LETTER TO THE EDITOR: QCT part of the family for New Brunswick reader
Dear Editor,
My family has a long history with the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. My grandfather (Vincent A. Fusk) was foreman of the composing room, my Dad (Vincent P. Fusk) was a typesetter, and my uncle (Louis J. Fusk) was the sports editor. I moved from Quebec City in 1965, and now live in Fredericton, N.B.

Here’s what’s printed on the back of this photo of the composing room: “The new Chronicle-Telegraph Building, St. Malo, Quebec, 1950; Joe Fitzpatrick, Rene Gamache, Norman Gamache, Mike Kenny, Vince Fusk, Bob Wallace.”
My Dad (Vince Fusk) is behind the table, second from the end, leaning with both hands on the table. This photo is very special to me, as we don’t have a lot of pictures of him. He passed away in 1958 when I was nine years old.
