Goldie: Goldie

Goldie Dept: Anne loved to tell how, as young girls, she and Goldie had to share a bed and Goldie always made her sleep by the wall. Inevitably, after they had settled down, Goldie would say, Annie, get me a glass of water. Anne would dutifully climb over Goldie to do her bidding. One day, Anne said, Goldie, the next time you ask me for a glass of water I am going to pour it on your head. And the next time Goldie asked her, she did exactly that. Goldie never asked her again, according to Globe and Mail. Before marriage Anne had been a highly regarded bookkeeper, but she gave up her career to tend to her family. Nevertheless, she played a crucial role in Johnny very successful business, Clifford Ladies Wear in Winnipeg and Her relationship with Goldie, her sometimes domineering older sister, was particularly close. Anne was devoted to her husband, Johnny Pollock. An immigrant from Ukraine who maintained certain old-country attitudes, Johnny was sometimes puzzled by his Canadian girl with her modern ways. But their mutual love and respect was never in doubt. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
