From the author of the Ainsworth Blog, “Let better historians write in depth about famous people. Here, I am only trying to bring back those who have gone — the thinking, feeling people who lived and worked on these few hundred acres around the Grand Trunk Railroad’s Ainsworth depot.

I try to supplement the scarce information by speculating about people’s thoughts and motives, imaging their emotions and giving my opinion about their actions. They are my neighbors, in space if not in time, and I do like a bit of gossip. I just hope I make clear to the reader when I depart from fact to engage in flights of fancy.

Please be warned that I have a tendency to be facetious. My intent is not to offend. I would joke as much if I were writing about my own family.

I am having fun writing this blog; I hope you have fun reading it. I know it is likely to contain errors; I hope you forgive them.”
