Aunt Ruby's Story

 As part of the HIStory Endowment Project, Square One World Media created a book for Aunt Ruby in appreciation for helping to grow the project.  "By telling their story, we can tell HIS." Here is the book: RUBY QUIRING Sparkling like a Rare and Precious Jewel Looking back on a life characterized by faith, adventure, and service, Ruby is satisfied with the choices she’s made along the way. Now, in 2023, Ruby lives in the Wintergreen Estates Retirement Residence in Regina where she continues to sparkle as she always has: like a rare and precious jewel.

Cousins Story 13

Almost every fall, when we were small, Grandma and Grandpa Dyck and Aunt Frieda would arrive for a visit.  Aunt Frieda later married Grandpa's son, Henry and after that he came too.  I was always happy when they came, even though they never stayed with us because of our small house.  Grandpa Dyck invariably brought a whole carton of Jersey Milk chocolate bars to hand out to all of us grandkids.  Because chocolate bars were scarce at our homes, these were a special treat.  I don't know what the other kids did, but I would eat only 2 squares a day so mine would last me a week or more (A Jersey milk bar weight 4 oz in those days).  Several times I remember Grandpa giving me a second bar too. One thing we always did when our grandparents came was go for a picnic to the river at the Belheumer Ferry.  This was their idea because they often came in harvest time when our Dads would likely have preferred to be harvesting instead of picnicking.  For us k...
