Club Cafe's. Marrying Oscar Olson in February 1946 she moved
onto the farm at Paddockwood. In April of 1963 the farm was sold
and they moved to Nanaimo, B.C., purchasing a home on Girvin.
Once again mom worked as a cook for The Islander Cafe, Lindsay"s
and Smitty's Pancake House then as a housekeeper at the Tally-Ho
Hotel. Having never learned to drive a car Millie loved riding
the transit system where she met many people.
