I am Lorne Wasylishen, Kenny’s cousin, I grew up playing with Kenny and Darlene. Till I was about 15 my Dad and I would go out Uncle Bill’s farm every Sunday. First move was to check the chicken house for eggs after a stern warning from Auntie Doris to watch out for fleas.

Then Kenny and I would climb those spruce trees along the driveway collecting sparrow eggs, we must have been up and down those trees a thousand times in those years.

One of our chores, and it took both of us, was to lug the 5 gallon slop pail out to the hog trough , I think Auntie Doris saved to for when I came on Sundays because she knew we liked doing it..

There are so many good memories from those days, Uncle Bill cutting firewood with the tractor driven sawmill, Auntie Doris chopping off a chickens head for supper, man she could cook, creamed chicken feet, roast partridge, and she could control the temp. of that wood stove better than a modern thermostat.

And Old Allen Brown who lived in a shack by the chicken coop, I wasn’t old enough to wonder where he was from, just a part of the family.

Often Rosie and Walter Kalynchuck would show up later in the day and everyone sat around the table and talked about crops and grain prices. My Dad liked Walter and they got on well.

When it was getting dark, Uncle Bill, sitting backward on this chair would do his ritual lighting of the coal oil lamp and hang it on the hook over the kitchen table and we all waited for one of Auntie Doris’s wonderful suppers.

One of my best memories was whenever we got out of line Uncle Bill would point to the other room and say “Git” and Kenny, Darlene and I would run through the door laughing .

I last saw Kenny in 2010, just stopped in for coffee one day, the old farmhouse is gone but Ken & Judy had a lovely new place. The barn Grandpa Jack built was the only original building left. (I remember when the shop burned down because of a heat lamp for chicks. Uncle Bill was devastated, all the tools gone and among them a Grandpa built berry picker, don’t know why but I have thought of that thing often over the years.)

We had a good visit, oddly enough we talked about crops and grain prices.

Bobby and Fay want to drive out that way this summer and re-visit some old places and yours was on the itinerary, I’m sorry you won’t be around.

You were a big part of my youth Kenny, see you again one day.
