Summer of 08, Battleford, Saskatchewan and thereabout...

While on our summer prairie trek, in the heat of the afternoon, a grasshopper attached itself to the hood of our car and traveled from Battleford.....all the way to just east of Edmonton, Alberta. We thought it had adopted us until it suddenly left.

Outside Battleford we were in search of the first winter home that George stayed in when he was three years old. We discovered the little town of Progue which was a "hop, skip and a jump" from the Woytuks farm.

We found the farm which had been sold and resold several times since then. Searching the nearby area we came on the old homestead of one of the older sons of the family.
