Old Friends

The other day Murray was happy to receive a call from an old CUC High School buddy who lives in Medicine Hat. We haven't seen them in years and now their daughter is an EMT in Coronation & they were coming to visit her. Yesterday was a damp day with a heavy shower near evening so we were able to slip away from harvest & meet them in Coronation for supper. Verne is a supervisor with Cal Frac & is currently working in northern Russia. (4 weeks in/4 weeks out). We had an interesting visit. Always good to reconnect with friends.Verne & Wendy Hrenyk, Elaine & Murray
