It was rather a rough winter in Strasbourg with many long time residents passing away. Hopefully the spring will be better. Dad was curling again this winter. He quit for a short while because of a health problem but after seeing the doctor and getting some medication he was up for it again. Dad & Evelyn both went to Bill's funeral in Alberta. They were grateful to Diane for driving them. Aside from the sad reason for being there, they had a good visit with the family. It was a particularly difficult winter for Dad's family, losing Werner and Bill only 3 weeks apart. Diane & Gerry learned that they won some great prizes from Shell. They finished in the top 10% in Western Canada for quality & service in their store. They won a pair of beautiful gold rings that are being custom made for them. They also won tickets to a Vince Gill concert in Saskatoon. Gerry was so overwhelmed upon learning about the concert

that he was speechless, which is just as well considering how he feels about country music. Frank & Niki are very busy with after school activities. Frank spent a lot of time working on a big school science project and is now on the verge of starting back with baseball for another season. Niki has discovered that she has a great interest and talent for gymnastics. She is currently taking classes in Duval and if all goes well she will continue with classes in Regina. Jackie has been very busy working on a committee to save the school in her area that was in danger of closure. After a great deal of work their school was the only one of many on the chopping block to be saved. Jackie was even interviewed on TV after the decision was made. Jackie has also finished all medical tests necessary for her lawyer to finally start working on her claim from her car accident 2 years ago! Wayne is still working and the kids are busy in a number of different activities. Jo-Anne & Roy are both keeping very busy. Roy is teaching for the county, doing some programming,

consulting and selling burglar alarm systems. Jo-Anne has recently gone full-time at the dental centre again, this time on a permanent basis. She works both shifts so is there about 5 1/2 days out of the week. A couple of national events were held in Halifax this winter and Jo-Anne attended both. She won tickets to the Canadian Figure Skating Championships and was given tickets to attend the Men's Briar where she watched Sask defeat Alberta. Too bad they didn't go on to win the whole thing. There were more Sask flags in the metro centre than from any other province and Jo-Anne visited many of the Sask people. Jo-Anne also won a fight with Radio Shack that she is proud of. The CD player expired several days after the extended warranty did. Radio Shack locally refused to honour the warranty. After a carefully worded letter to head office, the person in charge of Customer Relations called & asked that the player be sent to her via courier, collect. It was then repaired and returned within 3 weeks in perfect working order at no charge. Who ever said that it doesn't pay to complain? Go to Page 4
