Description

This book is a compendium of candid recollections of a unique Eastern Townships instuon and of the remarkable couple, Ken and Susie Fraser, who birthed it during the Great Depression and nourished it for more than 60 years. Cookshire’s Dew Drop Inn was many businesses under one roof – country inn, general store, restaurant, gas station, taxi, beauty parlour, gift shop and sign painting. But more than anything, it was the town’s main anglophone gathering place where townsfolk came to learn the latest news, to hear Ken’s stories or to admire Susie’s latest handiwork. Although the Dew Drop Inn has long since le! the local landscape, a multitude of memories remain. “. . . a most interesting and touching story of Ken and Susie Fraser and their Dew Drop Inn that they shared with so many. Thanks for the memories and the
laughter – a delightful book that I will pick up again and again.” (Sharon Moore, President, Compton County Historical Museum Society)
