If you're going to paint it, you'd better paint the "I" in PraIrie first, no?

Debbie & I will be there. Really looking forward to it. We have attended a couple of meets in Minnesota & are really looking forward to this one (and the time off)!! Mike Meyer alone is worth the trip.

Pick Me! Pick Me! I think I can. Hey Stevo, Take Highway # 13 Though Camrose and check out all the cool town signs - I don't know who did them, but they appear to be done by the same person and I really like them. If you do go that way and you stop along the way ask about them for me O.K. Hope to see you in Unity. Posted by Duncan Wilkie (Member # 132) on :
The Dog's aquiring some new quills and going to get back into the swing of it again. 'Going to have to give the old sign kit a tune up and a coat of paint! My first employer in the sign business (1971ish)is going to be at the meet. I was in grade 11/12 in Flin Flon then, and I haven't seen him since I came west in '72. It should be a fun reunion. Sure looking forward to meeting Mike Meyer too and you Saskatchewanians.(I used to be one myself you know).

Is it too soon to start counting the sleeps? Murray is looking forward to seeing Duncan and catching up (he's a little bit grumpy to find out the teenager he remembers from 1971 now sports some grey hair - could this mean he is aging too?)Right now we are so busy, I'm looking forward to a 10+ hour nap on the way!!! Can't wait to meet you all. Deb

Deb, Chances are this guy has changed a bit too. Posted by Marty Happy (Member # 302) on :
By the way if anyone wants to fly into Regina and accompany me in the "Sign Bus" to Pat & Ruth Welter's 'Paint the Prairie' .... let me know! The bus has travelin' room for 8, (unless ya wanna get more cozy) sleepin' room for 5 if (accomodation is a factor) and is registered as an RV so refreshments on the excursion are a prerequiste except for the poor sob driving!(LOL)

Oooh, I know I'm going to like you. Plaid polyester pants - the potential for blackmail is enormous!!! When we moved to Kenora in 1995, one new neighbour asked the other about the tall "blonde" man who had moved into the new house - does that say anything about his greying hair. He'll love the photo, thanks Deb
