With spring starting to make its debut here in Calgary, having already enjoyed some double digit temperatures, we look forward to celebrating Easter with the family.
Thinking back to some former years, Easter was something I really looked forward to as a youngster in the “1950’s”. My job was to boil a bunch of eggs and then paint them by dipping them into various batches of food coloring in bowls. After that we would get some “transfer tattoos” of various types of symbols to decorate them with. Continue reading “Easter at the Home of Johann S. and Annie”

It’s speculation perhaps, but if “Berliner” Kehler’s political favour rested within the boundaries of the Conservatives, how easily would he have crossed the room to support strong ties with that of his descendants?
In 1969, Ed Schreyer persuaded Elmer (Al) Reimer, 42, grandson of “Berliner” Kehler, to run in the La Verendrye riding, which included Steinbach. Al Reimer had respectable academic credentials, elevating NDP favour. While English Professor Al’s political career failed to get off the ground, his academic career was later deemed highly successful. This ad was found in The Carillon News, June 1969.
