Ethel Elizabeth McDonald + Pete Ferguson | Ethel retired in Vancouver, British Columbia. I don't remember meeting "Uncle Pete" but he owned a farm not far from where I grew up in Pontrilas, Saskatchewan. We used the garden for three or four years. I remember two long rows of raspberry bushes, with black and red currents at one end. I also remember an old, abandoned house that my sister and I worked up our courage to enter one day. Of course we got in trouble!

Verna May McDonald + William Bertram Sanders | Raised a family of six children in various towns in Saskatchewan. I remember them living in Choiceland - not far from where I grew up in Pontrilas. My grandfather was the International Harvestor dealer. The house and show room were all in one building so we could visit grandpa while he worked. We were only allowed to stay for a minute or two, unless we were helping clean up. But we weren't very good sweepers back then, and soon were chased out. Grandma was a tiny lady, about 5' tall, grandpa was over 6'. I remember him drinking tea - adding the cream & sugar, then pouring small amounts from the teacup into the saucer and drinking from the saucer.
