Lucknow District Lions Club,
Dear Friend:,
',Your "'letter of January came
as a most Pleasant' surprise, Op-
ening a flood gate. of 'memories
of 'rosy-cheeked, 'happy, .young--
-sters I •used to 'skate with in the
old..town rink so long, ago.
I was a country boy, raised with
my, aged grandparents, William
and Joane Fraser near Holyrood
in • Kinloss; but I .often...hicked
.down to my : dad's farm"Alex
Fraser" on the 4th Con. iniHuron •
to play with ..my brothers and
sisters in '.the , big: stone house •
•
where we were born. ,•
I 'remember well what fun it,
was,to"drive into •town' on.:Satur-.
da'y` night, put' old "barky",,,,: up
at trte-old Cain House Stable with'
an extra measure . ` of •oats for
bucking, the . pitch .moles: ,below .
Grey: Ox,': and 'then . go skating'
with the gang ` in the Village
rink orch r 'ee' fo r the home town
hockey, team. In suriuner even-•.
'Pig 'we'd join. the crowd on Main
'Street to thrill to the Caledonian
.Highland; band as it marched by.
C h my,' in these few moments
your letter has. brought me ,back
in retrospect '
trospect to see . somany
faces of my dear family, . so many.
-how asleep :on .the 0hi11 im :the old
Kinloss Cemetery. by the Old
Kirk.
The Fraser . name has disap
•peared from the Old Home.Town.
My: : ~dear :aunt,. Edna Robinson,
still lives . in . the Vilage as does
my
,beloved 'school teacher and
dearest •friend Dean MacLeod.
• Some of my boyhood pals are
still around .back. there, :Allister,
'Hughes,.; the MacMillan boys and
.'many others I remember Ernie'
Ackert taught me .for. awhile in
the • Sunday School .iri that wee:
church in Holyrood. and that re
vives' memories • of the regular
,drive into • the , : Presbyterian
Church ' on Sunday mornings to
hear those wonderful wettish
Ministers preach, the gospel. It
was there I. first gave • my. heart
to •Christ and .it' is my joy to still
'serve him as My' Lord, and Sun-
day night the young' fry •would
gather .outside the Church to kid
and . flirt with those very ;pretty.
gals . •
• Now you see what you've done,
just the mention of 'the Lucknow
Arena, transported me back; back
to. the, lovely rolling hill country.
and the quaint Canadian Village
that I was so fortunate to: know'
as a. boy.
I arp happy to contribute to
the Artificial Ice Fund. •i only
hope that the chubby, rosy -cheek -
ed boys and girIs who: will . use
it .will:.kxiow the joy '_I °new and.
when they. ,are my age can take
a' sentimental • journey from'.
.wherever ' they are and say with.
me, "Lucknow my old ' h'ome
town, how I love her."
My very best : wishes" to you
,gentlemen of the Lucknow Lions
CIub in your Artificial Ice pro-,
ject arid Thanks for the memories.'
