Vic Hult was pleased to have all his family and many friends from near and far attend his 70th birthday party on the evening of July 25. By the sound of things the huge crowd enjoyed visiting as well. The evening began with picture taking as it is not often that all the family get together for such a happy occasion.
Among the many guests were Vic's mother Agnes Lesyk and her friend Dirk Koomes from Victoria, B.C., relatives (Howsons) from Ontario, and several men who had been trainees on Vic's farm throughout the years.
The Yellowhead Ramblers provided music at various times throughout the evening. People were so busy visiting that very little time was taken up by dancing.
Everyone enjoyed the many stories of life with Vic, told mostly by members of the family.
A delicious lunch was served towards the end of the evening. Vic thanked his family and all those who helped to organize and take part in the evening's activities.
Arlee Lumgair spent some time last week visiting with family at Maple Creek. While there, they all spent time touring the beautiful Cypress Hills.
Our sympathy to Penny and Peter Donovan and family on the recent death of Penny's mother Maysel Ross, who, up until recently, had been a resident of the Paynton district.
