Gwen Dunlop and Kathryn Ciamaga have given their permissions to this nomination.
Gustav Crescent and Gustav Park already exists, thus full name Gustav Ciamaga Lane could be appropriate, or Ciamaga Lane.
A lane near 756 Euclid Ave. where the family earlier rented the first floor could be considered. This was one of the original farm houses in Seaton and retains the 1 1/2 story "stable-like" structure with its original wooden doors. This is Lane #2501, and runs north-south between London and Barton.
