Atholville, New Brunswick, Sanfar, July 10, 2014

In Atholville we stayed at the historic Sanfar cabins.
These 1938 but cosy cottages were built by Joe Sanfelipo, 
a musician in the Boston Symphony.
Sanfar got its name from the first syllable of Sanfelipo 
and the first syllable of Edna Farrar, his wife.
He played the accordion and, indeed, was 
the organist for the Boston Bruins!
Dave Richard, who loves history, bought them last year, and is restoring them.
Dave’s father worked on the Cambellton CNR (Railroad) 
as this plaque signifies, and so Dave grew up here.
Joe and Edna built and lived in the house across the highway:
