My parents owned the hotel in Canadian from 1966 to 1970.. my Mom ran the restaurant and the hotel. My Dad ran the pub. We lived in the hotel. I watched the video and it made me actually cry. Not because I miss it, but because there were things that happened there during those years that would have made your skin crawl. People gettin hung by their thumbs from a tree. Boys beating up a girl in front of the church. I was whipped with windshield wiper blades and the boys that did that tried to make me drink pee from a coke bottle. These things happened there. And worse.
We have a picture of the Great Granparents in front of their little house they moved into Moosejaw in the 50s. Behind them you can see the trench in the street where they put the gas.I imagine sidewalks and gas were both a welcome sight
And power. It was a fantastic boon to a community when the SK Power Company ran lines into town in the '50s, about when many places were laying concrete sidewalks. Sewerage, water and gas came in about a decade later. Thanks for watching and writing, Tim. Take care. Cordially, Don Wilson
No Way!!! U can't see Nuthin' but rocks and trees and curves in the road and hills. And Bears! Pfooey, I say. But, thanks for the invite, Rajon, and for watching and writing. Take care. Cordially, Skyleo
Great video as usual Don. Your channel has easily been one of my top 5 favourites ever since I discovered it. RU-vid won't be as nice of a place without your awesome work here, but I will surely pay a visit to your website from time to time to see what your up to.... Cordially Neil, Same last name as your own.
Thanks, Neil, for watching and for the kind words. I hope that U do get to visit Small Town Saskatchewan. Nice, clean site. Take care. Cordially, Don Wilson
I think that RU-vid frowns on links that take watchers away. And, I don't know how to do that. Maybe I should learn, eh? Thanks for watching and commenting, Wanda. Very helpful. I appreciate that. Take care, Cordially, Don Wilson
Thanks, UDraft. I'm glad that U missed me. It is harder and harder to find the time to sit down and edit and do voice overs. Thanks for watching and writing. Take care. Cordially, Skyleo
Sorry, Nature: I do what I can. I'd love to post on a regular basis. Lord knows I have enough "in the can" to keep me busy for a long, long time. However, I've got job and a complicated life style, so Time is Tight. That said, I'm as pleased as punch (and U KNOW how pleased that is) that U'd like to see more from me. Very encouraging. Thanks for watching and thank U very much for writing. Take care and Happy Spring! Cordially, Don Wilson
Gee, Dunk, I'd love to, but there are so many places to which I haven't even been once, that I'm afraid that I'll have to forego the pleasure of a visit to Windthorst for the nonce. Thanks for watching and writing. Very encouraging. Take care. Cordially, Don Wilson
