I was born in 1947. I was never told the name of it, why it was put there nor where it was exactly. (I am happy to hear the name as my mother's name was Lorraine & a finer person you could never find). I loved to see that cross shining. I am happy to learn it was a symbol for TB. I do remember we were all fighting for TB back then, but I do not remember hearing what TB is. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT...IS IT STILL STANDING...IF SO, WHERE CAN I FIND IT. WHY DOES IT NOT SHINE ANY MORE....IT COULD BE A SHINING LAMP FOR MANY THINGS...LIKE THE UNITY OF ALL. I learned a bit about TB when I moved to the Arctic, to Baker Lake, Nunavut in the late 60's. I did not learn until I went back to Baker in 2006 that there was a clinic in Hamilton from the 1950's and was told by many that some of their relatives were sent there & never returned & never heard from again. I was reading a web site about Chedoke hospital as I am trying to find out as much as I can about the Inuit who were brought to Hamilton for healing of TB in the 1950's I now remember seeing the ‘Cross of Lorraine’ shining on the mountain from the time I was a young child.
