Happy New Year Tom
 You don't know me but my address is Kenmore, Ontario, Canada. I recently received your newsletter and attachments regarding the Kenmore Heritage Society. Thank you. 
 My husband was born and raised in Kenmore and certainly is a true Kenmorian, his surname being Scharf. Kenmore, Ontario is certainly the home of many Scharfs. As you may know our Kenmore is very small. One main street with two tiny sub-divisions. We call the subdivisions "Bordertown". I live in Bordertown. A lot of the people who live in Bordertown were born and raised by their parents in Kenmore, on Main Street. Nobody seems to want to leave. This is what I find true country, community spirit.
 I do not know the exact population of Kenmore, Ontario. Possibly 500 people, maybe less. My brother and sister live there along with my husband's mom and three of his brothers. Every family knows every family (except newcomers who don't want community involvement).
 The Castor River, which runs thru Kenmore is nothing shy of a larger stream, but we like it. Certainly nobody would actually eat the fish caught, nor would they swim in it.
 I was intrigued by the fact that there is an actual Kenmore Society out there and just want to say "Hi" from your Canadian friends.
 All the best to you and yours in the year 2001.

Hello,
 Thanks for the information from your historical society and news from Kenmore, WA. I'm a relative newcomer to our Kenmore having moved here only 7 years ago.
I grew up in Ottawa though, so I am attached to the area and take great pride in living in our village just southeast of Ottawa.
 You may be interested to know that as of January 1, 2001 a number of municipalities surrounding Ottawa were amalgamated into a new "City of Ottawa". I'm confident that our village will continue to be referred to as Kenmore.
 I'll be sure to discuss your letter with others to make sure that some of the older residents in the village know about your society; there are a few individuals that know quite a bit about the history of our village and have some good archives.
 Congratulations on your fine work. I hope your January 10th Founder's Day celebrations go well.
 All the best in 2001.

From Anne Burrell, Kenmore, Scotland
April 8, 2000

It is interesting to read about your community of Kenmore. I am the Head Teacher at the school in Kenmore, Scotland. During the summer term the children will be designing a school website and we have been looking at various websites to give us ideas. The village of Kenmore is very small. There are only 55 children in the school, so like your classes in the early years, there are a mix of ages in each class. 

It has been very interesting to read about your community.

Dear Sir/Madam 
               I come from the Isle of Man, I was quite suprised to find 
that there was a place in America called Kenmore as this is my last name. In 
the Isle of Man there are only three Kenmores' me, my brother and my father, 
and there are very few in mainland Britain. We are all interested in finding 
out where our name came from, all we know so far is that there is a town in 
Scotland called Kenmore and that there is a small possibility that our name 
first came into the British Isles' when a cow hearder from Normandie  came 
over with William the conquerer who conquerd Great Britain in 1066. 
   I would be interested to find out who where the founding members of 
Kenmore and when it was established, if you please e-mail me back I would be most grateful. 
                         yours faithfully David Kenmore
