ALK,:
Well, here we are into 1984
and it doesn't seem so much
different from 1983. You just
have to remember to put a
different number on your
cheques.
The old chaps have started
their new competition and
everything seems to be
running smoothly. The
format has been changed a
little; we now curl three
days a week with all games
in the morning.
The
New
Year's
celebration at the Legion
went over pretty well.
The wife and I received a
little parcel from an old
friend just after the holiday.
It was some cute little ornaments and they came
from George Dyson who now
resides in Langley. He wrote
quite a newsy letter. Says he
is curling with, not the
seniors, but the senators. He
has been in three 'spiels and
has been in the money in all
three.
He is feeling well and
taking in his share of good
shows. He has visited B.C.
Place a couple of times, and
he says the bucks really flow
into the beer concession.

The hockey in the KIJHL
has now resumed after the
Christmas-New Year break
and the Warriors will open
what's left of the regular
schedule tonight at home
against Elk Valley. Then
they travel to Nelson to
battle the Leafs on Saturday.
Two wins here would put
them solidly in fourth spot in
the West.
All the footbafl bowl
games are just about over
now, only the NFL has to
wind down to the Super
Bowl. A lot of people I know
would like to see Seattle get
there this time around. After
their heroics against Miami,
they should. not be counted
out but they have a stern test
coming up on the weekend.
Those L.A. Raiders are
definitely for real. In the
other game one would have
to give the edge to
Washington after they ran
roughshod over the L.A.
Rams last week. But the
49ers have to be taken
seriously, too.

Our daughter, Carol, her

husband Bud and their three
youngsters paid us a couple
of visits over the holidays.
They were up to visit Bud's
folks, the Hartleys of
Blueberry Creek and
dropped in to see us and eat a
holiday meal. They left
Monday morning to head
back to Surrey where Bud
has his own business. It's
always a great thing to see
and enjoy our grandchildren, they add a whole
new dimension to our lives.
News of not quite as good a
calibre comes from old
friend Ken Stanton. Ken has
just started curling with' 'dur.
retirees and on a trip to the
coast he was put under orders to drop any vigorous
activity for a while. So his
curling career has been put
on hold for a bit. Another job
at which he excelled will
have to be dropped too; the
scorekeepers job at Warrior
games which.he has done for
some time. We all wish you a
speedy recovery, Kenny,
and to see you back in the
swim again.
Till next time, then!
