Notes - From Susan (Powell) Holland: At some point after Frank died Nana moved to the Sault and worked at the Steel Plant in the lunch room. During WWII she worked as a steel inspector; after the war she had to go back to the lunch room. Susan thinks that she met Jack while working at the steel plant. They went to Toronto - Jack had a job there. They did move around a bit - and eventually came back to the Sault for awhile before moving to Toronto permanently.
