My only recollection of the Cardston temple cafeteria dates back to 1960-61?..ish after my lone dead dunking visit(I never attended as an adult) and they had yummy bran muffins.

I wonder how many Alberta Mormon kids still aspire to attend one of the BYU's now? Back in my day there were a lot, including me (I went to Ricks because my grade 12 marks weren't high enough to get into university here).

I have no expectation of there being anything past the dirt nap. Gotta make the best of the years I have left.

Years ago on a warm Wednesday evening I was shooting trap at our local club near our airport and a squadron of WW2 aircraft stopped over in Lethbridge enroute to Edmonton to clear customs, refuel and attend a banquet in their honor. After dinner 2 Supermarine Spitfires and a B-17 did some flying around Lethbridge and the sound of those Spitfires and their Rolls Royce Merlin V12's as they flew ove

Brian composed the soundtrack to my teen years. Surfer tunes, hot rod culture and Brian's profound influence on so many other musicians will reverberate for generations. RIP

As a child, our yearly Christmas trip to the beautiful Hudson Bay store in Calgary was an adventure. Floor upon floor of wonder. Like Nightingale I'm not much of a shopper, but I'll miss not having it here.

I've driven by the Cardston temple when it didn't look busy...but the justification for building the one in Lethbridge was that Cardston was at capacity.

And there are at least 2 places in Raymond where lottery tickets and scratch tickets can be purchased.

I quit blessing my food 50 years ago or just praying in general. The phone line to the dude in the sky was always out of service...

My mom died from a stroke at 84 and dad from pneumonia at 90...whilst wearing their ROCKY MOUNTAIN SURF SHIRTS so I'm suspicious they were ineffective...and that nevermos die from the same maladies at those ages too.

1966-67, I was a foreign student at Ricks, and not subject to the Vietnam War draft, and that pissed off a few people, and they let me know it.

So, a Raymond, Alberta resident won C$250k on a scratch ticket purchased at a Raymond gas station...and says he has no plans yet as to what he'll do with his windfall (which BTW is tax free in Canada). If he's a Mormon I'd bet there'd be big pressure to cut a $25k to the cult.

I remember years ago when Pope JP2 came to Edmonton and lots of non Catholics were organizing pilgrimages to see him...and I could never figure out why?...

My active priesthood years were from 1960 to 1971-72 and everything I remember was boring...except for priests quorum when the teacher quit!

When I arrived in Rexburg in September 1966 I wasn't ready for the "making sure I'm worthy for my mission call" zealotry that I encountered in most of my dorm mates. It was the beginning of my journey out of the church.

Never heard that...but then again I never really paid attention...and didn't take my kids to church...so my P hood never got passed down.
