The Lucknow Sentinel, 1985-10-23, Page 19Unique visit after 50 years.
By AB WYLDS
Recently Olive and Percy Schacht of the
8th Con. East of Ripley were pleasantly
surprised by a rather unique visit of a
former next door"neighbour of Percy's while
living in Kitchener. Percy said that it was
fifty years since they had seen or heard of
one another. Also the fact that Olive and
Percy both grew up on the same block. Our
friend said that she well remembers seeing
us in our courting days.
This special visit was the result of one of
the many editorials Percy has submitted to
the Kitchener -Waterloo Record daily.
newspaper, the last being "Keen
Memories" which our friend read and got
our address.
He mentioned, `Yes! A lot of bark has
grown on your old pear tree in the bygone
days."
Alas! As we mature in age somehow, we
both gained considerably around the
waistline. So aur friend had the advantage of
reading the mail box before ringing the door
chimes, saying, "Hello, do you remember
me?"
"No way," after so many years.
A most enjoyable afternoon was spent
with Olive scurrying up the lunch while.
Percy, in his • usual ,good form, kept
reminiscing with his long forgotten friends
from Kitchener.
Eldy . Lowry stopped here last Friday
morning briefly to recall that it was fifty
years ago that an earthquake was felt in this
area. It was on Hallowe'en in 1935 and Eldon
remembers that it rattled and shook things
fairly well in the houses at the time.
Last Thursday Janice Needham added
another championship to this year's
winnings at the fall fairs for her excellent
junior Holstein dairy heifer ...and for
showmanship. This time it was at the
Walkerton Little Royal Fair. The Walkerton
fair was a three day event - Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Saturday was a nice
day weatherwise for the last day.
Last Tuesday morning, as ; we were
leaving here for. Walkerton, a 'work' crew
was busy loading the piles of scrap steel at
the two Ripley railway crossings into a large
truck. Later at noon we listened to the
nostalgic sound of the whistle of 'a train
coming into the Walkerton. station. About a
half hour later we again heard its whistle as
it was leaving for Paisley and on towards
the coast.
Three of the Needham family, Concession
10, Janice, Dorothy and Jean attended the
Central National Holstein. Show in Madison,
Wisconsin where they were awarded a first
prize ribbon in the junior heifer class. The
show was held October 2 to 6. Back in
November.1933, the Maytag Holstein herd of
about 25 cows was at the Royal in the
Coliseuin, Toronto.
Last 'week canned tuna made its way to
Lynn's Superior Market in Ripley. No, it is
not the kind from the East Coast which has
been in the news forthe past weeks. It is the
"Clover Leaf" brand from Vancouver, B.C.
