It was 4 years of school before hydro came to the building. In approximately 1943 dad started to attend the Courtland Fellowship Baptist Church a couple year later he was saved in the North Broadway Baptist Church and later baptized. Dad and his brother Harley spent a number of years working together at Firestone when Harley left to go and work at the Bethesda Hospital in Willowdale. There were many young women being trained as nurses with the hope of going to the mission field. Harley invited dad for a visit and it was there that he met Kay. In Dad’s words the matron was a spinster who took her responsibility to keep all her young charge in check and she was quite concerned that Kay was talking with this man and wanted to know all the details. In Feb of 1955 they were married in the Abbotsford Pentecostal Church. Dad attended the Bethel Bible Institute in Saskatoon for three years.

Dalton is always remembered by me with warm and gentle thoughts…your family was generous and kind, providing me with board and room and friendship. I can not thank you sufficiently.

Sorry to hear of uncle Dalton’s passing. His concern at my mother’s [his sister’s] passing is remembered.
