Mom was home with the younger kids so a big treat for us. He drank beer while we ate fish and chips. Nowadays that would be bad parenting I expect. Other times we got carryout from Gilbert's. Also St Luke's on Friday nights. I still love fish and chips.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411899562743808497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-76267850129829320102012-01-05T08:21:53.109-08:002012-01-05T08:21:53.109-08:00Hi Pauline, make sure you read this post about Jac...Hi Pauline, make sure you read this post about Jack Gilbert's...<br /><br />http://www.flintexpats.com/2009/07/ben-hamper-remembers-jack-gilberts.htmlGordon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911010126952753812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-9050144780934557872012-01-04T20:44:48.432-08:002012-01-04T20:44:48.432-08:00What great memories of the past.

I married my fellow Marine Bob Gilbert,son of John's, and we moved to Oregon in 1962/63. I so miss seeing mom and dad Gilbert since they're passing.<br />PaulineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-3743862285038427362011-02-27T09:33:02.364-08:002011-02-27T09:33:02.364-08:00I remember growing up and having my parents pick u...I remember growing up and having my parents pick up Gilbert's fish and chips for dinner. The best I've ever had... anywhere! Since leaving Flint in 1976, the only place I've found that has fish and chips that match Gilbert's is a pub across from Windsor Castle in England! A bit too far to go, though...Rick Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-64514467874310574652011-02-22T05:27:15.680-08:002011-02-22T05:27:15.680-08:00There was also Gregorys on Ballenger and Flushing ...There was also Gregorys on Ballenger and Flushing and Andys on Flushing and St Lukes church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-5522436505534441312011-02-21T20:07:23.497-08:002011-02-21T20:07:23.497-08:00OMG - I LOVED that place!!!!!!!!
