Community Quilt for the Fire Department. Donna du Plessis, Janie Munro, Basil du Plessis. 1988
We gave them a Quilt in 1988. Let’s do better and give them a new Fire-hall!
Dark Mornings
Coming soon; the shortest day of the year.
Nightfall
The roof was on just as it was getting dark. Quite a feat for a single day’s work!
David sold the house and lot shortly thereafter. As a fellow volunteer recently said when I asked if he remembered how soon he sold after the building party-
“I’m sure it was inside a year, and probably well inside. But I can’t remember exactly the time frame. Could have been weeks.
What I do remember well is talking with David not too long after the house was built; he was really relieved: new baby, no job, no money. Huge problem he thought, but then realized, “Hey, no problem”.
A little while later I heard what his solution was.
We were so PO’d. “
Planning
That’s David Taug on the left with Jerry Swatez. David was what I can only describe as a charismatic bully. He had lots of charm and a talent for getting folks to do things his way.
