Arlee Lumgair attended a "quilt retreat" which was held at Milleton Hall on Aug. 11, 12 and 13. It was a very successful event. Each participants took their own machine and worked on whatever projects they brought with them. Groups changed each day as time allowed participants to attend. Besides local participants, quilters came from Neilburg, Marshall, Maidstone and other points. Besides accomplishing lots of quilting, participants had lots of fun socializing, having meals and coffee breaks together with some even bringing the necessary things which made it possible for them to stay overnight.
Hamish Duncan, his wife Marie, and their daughter, Heather, spent a short time visiting in the area at the end of last month. They were able to visit with many of Hamish's friends as they attended Vic Hult's 70th birthday party. Hamish grew up on the farm owned by his father and mother, James and Pansy (Sutherland) Duncan. Hamish and his sister attended Walter School for their elementary school education. Hamish soon left following his schooling but in years gone by he returned to visit many times, appreciating his many friends. He and his wife Marie have lived in BC for many years on an acreage near Langford. There they worked and raised their family.
