Image share by Herbert Renke, 21 years, 1954

My Dad, Herbert Renke, 21 years old, 1954. Travelled to Canada from West Germany by boat. He landed on east coast of Canada then rode the train as far west as it would take him. All on a free one-way ticket offered to immigrants wanting to take on the adventure. He went back to Germany to get my Mom when he had bought some property and built a house (cash) and also sponsored his 2 brothers, Erwin and Alfred Renke to come to Canada. All were very successful and their families still live in Canada.
