Leto' Canada, distributing Loto Canada and
Cash for Life tickets to retailers .in the
• diitrict served by Don Thompson,: Lucknow.
'Mr. Cowan says he could not stand being
• "cooped up" in a stores after being used to
coming and going as he pleased, when he
was a salesman. Wording set hours, 9-6 and
waiting around until six p.m to close up,
even if there were.no customers, just did not
agree with him, s�he chose to sell the
business, when the position with
Thompson carne along. •
He said he is pleased that the garden
centre will continue undef the new owners,
because it was "my baby". He developed
the centre and enjoyed working in that
aspect of the business.

' "The quarter horse has been bred for
their pleasing personality," says Larry,
"They're easy to train and very seldom do
you see them kick or dance around."
