There are a couple miles of highway south of Meota that is treacherous to drive on at night as there are no lines painted. When my daughter came last week, she said it was a scary experience after dark.

On Saturday, all but one of my children and I attended a service at the Idylwild Cemetery, north of Bapaume, when the ashes of the late Ken Parker were interred. Following this time of socializing, we drove on up to the Parker farmstead where more visiting and looking at old pictures took place. At 5 p.m. they served up a meal and desserts. It was a perfect day done up in Ken’s memory and many a story was told about his life. We must express our appreciation to the Parker boys and their wives, Ken’s nephews, who did all the work organizing the event. There were relatives from British Columbia and many from Manitoba and Saskatchewan in attendance. It was a special day in every way, Thank you, Wyman and Tracy and Kelly and Ramona, for all your hard work.
