Stories by Mrs. Spain will be appearing in future issues of the Expositor.") Dear Miss Turnbull: May I say how much I enjoyed your interesting stories about Silver Creek' and Turnbull's Mountain. I am the former Daisy (Spain) Kilmer. Perhaps you recall some of my stories about my early life in. Seaforth, as printed in .the Huron Expositor in times past. Your story brought back a long forgotten episode about Turnbull's Mountain. I would like to share it with you. ' When I was a pre-schooler, my biother Bill, took me to Turnbull's Mountain to hunt black walnuts. ' - We filled two large bran sacks and brought them home. To my dismay and, disgust, they were hard ,green balls. So; we carried them up to the attic, and dropped them there where they were promptly forgotten-- but not the attic.

Now to the walnuts, - One cold, rainy - December day while playing there I unearthed the walnut bags again. What a (delighted) wonderful change! Gone were the 'shucks and there they were - beautiful large, delectable black walnuts. Sodry,were they, that one blow sufficed to bring the shells apart. Out came the large meaty centres - just perfection itself. Needless to say, the black walnuts added a most additional dimension to our Northern Spy diet that winter. They emerged in fudge,.icings, drop cookies, cakes but most went right down our 'stomachs from the shells., I had to recall again my first trip to ,Turnbull's Mountain. Oh alto be able to relive it just once again! - I was also remembering', in retrospect, the many, many wonderful days I played in ."The Shiner" or -our part of Silver Creek behind our house. Those were the ideal, the supremely happy days, Thank you for reminding me of those engaging Memories, which I had allmot forgotten. Yours sincerely, Daisy (Spain) Kilmer. Mrs, D.
