Ethel Hayden, 93 of Calgary visited with her long-time friend and former classmate Lois Ballinger, 90 at Points West Living in Stettler recently. Both ladies grew up on farms located between Endiang and Byemoor; Ethel the daughter of Ralph and Meta Waters and Lois the daughter of Lloyd and Helen Walker. The girls would ride double on Ethel’s horse to attend classes at Rustle School, a one-room schoolhouse in the area. I’m sure the ladies enjoyed much reminiscing and shared many memories that day.
