My parents received The Western Producer in the 1940s.
As a young man from Alberta, I read the Pathfinders page. I saw some interesting stories, where some girls had written, so I started writing to about half a dozen girls, one in Alberta and five or so in Saskatchewan.
This went on for about one year.
Some girls added “xxx” at the end of their letters. That made it more interesting.
I finally wanted the gal from Melville. She loved country and western singing and played the guitar. She also told me she yodelled.
I decided to go see her in the fall of 1950 and by Christmas we were engaged. The following October we were married.
We thank our Lord we still have each other, making our home in Alberta, as that’s home to me.
She became known as Alberta Rose.
