Cathy Shantz, home adjuvant and Marga- ret Suplat, class teacher matched the students to the residents. The children introduced them- selves to the residents and filled out interview sheets to get to know the history of their buddy. The pro- gram has been in place a number of years and is enjoyed equally by rfs- ident and student. They are able to communicate with each other on a one to one basis, which quite often is missed by both parties when dealing with their own families due to distance or time slot.

Es- ther and Lloyd shared 68 years as a married couple and business part- ners with their barber shop and hairdressing salon in Bayfield. Cer- tainly an example for many of us to follow.
