Holiday visits span many towns and families across Prairie region
Adam spends four days in the city with friends. Adam Wandler went to Winnipeg for four days during the holidays visiting riding camp friends. Dennis and Barb Wychopen and Bradley and Lori Wychopen of Winnipeg spent Dec 21 at Gus and Lisa Dillin’s with their twin sons at Yorkton. Helen and Al Crane of Winnipeg joined celebrations at Mary Kapetz’s on Dec 24. Visitors at Brian and Delores Cockerill’s over Christmas included Leonard, Cindy and Sugar Nykolaishyn and Kelsey Paczkoski from Edmonton. Norman Douse had eye surgery in Yorkton in December and sees better without curtains. The Funk family from Medicine Hat and Flin Flon visited Chester and Joan Funk and Grant Cockerill and Sheryl Funk over Christmas. Wagons West hosted a sleigh ride on New Year’s. Leroy and Debbie Wandler's family traveled to Moose Jaw on Jan 1 to visit Debbie’s mom Louise Hannah, now in Moose Jaw, with Garth and Wendy Hornung and daughter Ariss from Calgary also joining. Elaine McKay and Mitchell de Lorme visited North Battleford weekend last, seeing Fawn and Michael de Lorme. Mitchell spent the holidays with Fran and Earl before returning home. Sincere sympathies go out to Alvin Azure Cathy Deneka and their family and to other Paul relatives on the recent passing of Alvin’s sister Emily. Paul Wayne and Jean Cockerill attended Arla Patterson Hande’s 70th birthday. Arla had met her husband Allan while working at Roy Cockerill’s years ago.
