Memories of a lifetime in a small town visit
W J Bill Owen writes a letter describing a May 15 1992 visit to Wawanesa and Glenboro. He recalls meeting Mark and others, shares old local landmarks, and reflects on eye safety, memory, friendship, and the value of community life. He notes absent guide dog Vanilla and ends with a message of accepting setbacks and believing in God and oneself.
