Only thing I miss from my marriage was my father in law, Bruce Ashley, out of Couts, broke horses from the age of 12, rustled cattle out of Montana during the depression to survive, joined the Calgary Tank Regiment, Dieppe, Italy then back to Canada with his war bride, moved to Winnipeg and joined the fire department, invalided out as a Lt.
Still breaking horses at 75, started the day with a huge glass of rye and spent his retirement pretty mush sloshed but hell of a man.
I miss him still.
