Scope and Content
Track 4: This portion of the recording pertains to Jean’s life after she finished high school. She describes her jobs in the 1930s, her first marriage, and talks about her oldest children. Jean recalls working at the London Cafeteria and Granville Lunch, on Granville Street, as well as the White Lunch and Spencer’s Department Store on Hastings Street in Vancouver. She relates how she attended business school in the 1960s, after her husband died, rather than go back to the same kind of job, and talks about teaching shorthand, which she did at the Pitman Business School. Jean describes how she married Walter McCallum in 1940. She talks about Walter’s jobs, and how she moved to Victoria when he was in the Navy during the Second World War, and to other provinces with him when he travelled for his Union job during their twenty-five year marriage. She recalls the births of their daughters and the family’s living arrangements in Burnaby during and after the war during the housing shortage. Jean recalls living with her younger daughter Terry on York Street for a while after Walter died, before moving to Kitsilano. She describes the house in Kitsilano and what it was like living there with both of her daughters when the girls returned from travelling in Europe.
History
