trips throughbut the continent. At the end of our posting my husband
obtained his release from the army, to join his father in business in
Ottawa. We have lived here since September 1957.

"While living here I have spent seven short holidays in good old
Winnipeg, and have driven to Florida for three winter holidays.

'Mb have two sons — Kevin born December 29, 1957 and Kenny born
October 13, 1959. I like the East, and I think Ottawa is a very pretty
city.”

WEGE, Florence

Second daughter of Fred and Rosa WEGE, lived in Spearhill from
1926 to 1943. She married Kenneth MCLEOD of New Zealand. They have two
sons - Keith, now twenty years of age, and Allan seventeen years.
Florence writes -

”I came to Auckland, New Zealand in May 1946, and have lived here
ever since, except for my first visit home to Canada in 1955 with my
two sons. We stayed with my mother and dad at Spearhill most of the
time except for a short period in Winnipeg with my sister Emily and
brother Arnold. I had my second trip home last year (1966), visiting
my mother, sister and brother in Winnipeg; and sister Helen in Ottawa.
I was home just six months and had a won rful time. It was so nice
seeing a lot of old friends and relatives again, after a ten year ab-
sence.

"My husband works in the Post Office. Our eldest son Keith is
taking Civil Engineering at the University, and our youngest son is
training to be a chef. New Zealand is quite a beautiful little country,
but so different from Canada. Our climate is mild, the lowest tempera-
ture this year being forty-one degrees, but we usually get plenty of
rain."

their talents to entertain friends and neighbors at gatherings in the i
