Update: From: Gerald Brennen To: saskgenweb@yahoo.com Subject: one room schools Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 Hello: I was looking over this web site, and thought I'd let you know that my Mother taught school at Wollerman and Baloil in the late forties. She also taught at Pinto head, Grasby, Ravine, Snipe lake, Mayfair, Invicta and perhaps a couple that I've forgot. I thought I'd let you know that my Uncle Ralph and Uncle Max are in the picture on the site below. Buffalo Horn School District Marie School Children Ponteix and Val Marie, Sk It was a genuine surprise when my brother called and told me to "google" ..."Buffalo horn district" and there's my uncles. This is the only known photograph of Max, he was killed by lightning when he was in his teens. Gerry |
