Hello Marged,
My sister's and brothers pretty much live in Nanaimo. My parents also before
they pasted away. There since 1957. One sister in Powell River. I married a
soldier, therefore moved around a lot. We have a big Army Camp here in
Wainwright, Alberta. Many British soldiers have also trained here. We have
been hear since 1966. p.s it will be hard to follow me though the census.
Saskatoon which is in Saskatchewan ( East of Nanaimo ) is a long was from
the Yukon ( North ). The Yukon. Territories was mainly famous for its Gold
Rush in 1898. I'm wondering if your not confusing Yukon with Yorkton,
Saskatchewan ?.
Each place has it's own beauty. I have never been to England. But I am
always in awe with your beautiful Churches and buildings.
Right now we can be sure of a white Christmas. We have a few feet of snow
and a beautiful sunny day. The snow is glistening like we see on beautiful
Christmas Cards.
Best Wishes,
Pat and Bill
