Alex has started school, Grade Primary. He got off to a shaky start but soon decided that he liked it a lot. Just about the time he started to like it, he ended up in hospital for a week with an asthma type of virus. That wasn't much fun and there were a lot of visits back and forth from our house. Everyone else in the household is about the same. Erica is walking, running and displaying great amounts of "personality". Susan & Rob are busy with work and trying to keep up to the kids.

The whole family was in Sask in July for a reunion. Reg has started working graveyard part-time shifts at a gas station. He will be released from the military in 6-8 months. He plans to buy another car soon - a Duster.
Joy is very busy with work. She went to regionals again for the Roadeo but didn't do as well as last year. She is on the hosting committee. She has more responsibility at work, teaching the Fleet Manage- ment System and doing all the computer work. She & Barb have their craft show on Nov. 13&14 with much of the proceeds going to breast cancer research.
