Edna Scarrow:  

To elaborate more on Q&A on how mnany children I have - four. I have three daughters ond one son,aged 44 to 54 so they're really adults!! I have two grandchildren one girl and one boy- also adults with children, so I have three great grand children. as well. Having said that I will go back to the beginning. I was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta although our home was a farm in southern Saskatchewan. Roseray was the name of the hamlet that had a general store, a garage, post office and community hall, also four grain elevators It is sad to know Roseray no longer exists. The last two families to live there were Andersons and Waites so theycalled it the A&W (root beer - get it?) I went to a one room school house from Grades 1 to 10 and then to Hazlet High School from which I graduated in 1946. We had no graduation dance or anything then. I willl quote what my sister once said about tgraduation, "We walked out of the school in June and hoped we wouldn't be back in September." I helped out on the farm for a year and then went to Balfour Tech in Regina, Sask my first experience on my own and with city life. From Balfour I worked for the Government of Sask a couple of years, then a girl friend and I went to Calgary and that`s where I found my way to the recruiting office and joined the RCAF. Basic Training was in St Jean, Quebec and then on course to Aylmer, Ontario. That was pretty easy as I already had a trade (clerk Steno) My posting off course was Trenton, Ont. I enjoyed the service life and eventually met and married my husband, Phil. He was into every sport that was invented and I wasn`t so I guess opposites attracted that time . We were married just 2 months short of 48 years when he passed...Expand for more
