The Kay Jamieson Rink

    I'd love to know more of the story behind this photograph ... of this family ;-) ... there is so much interest in women's curling, and Canada (along with Scotland) have the richest curling history.

    Howdy Wrangler, This photo is one I found in the Galt Archives and my mother is the lady on the lower step. This photo was published in the Lethbridge Herald when Mom and her team won the Aird Trophy at the Ladies Curling Club in the 1950s. Both my parents were avid curlers. My father was President of the Lethbridge Curling Club in 1958/59. My mother curled in bonspiels all across southern Alberta - often bringing home the prize. Our family heritage is Scottish so it followed that my ancestors were involved in the game of curling - even on the natural ice of Sylvan Lake, AB.

    The lady on the lower step is Kay Jamieson. My family lived next to the Jamieson's in Lethbridge in the late 40's. I believe we moved away when I was four (1951), but we maintained a connection with the Jamieson's throughout their lives. Would love to connect with their children. Have the fondest memories of Wally and Kay. Paul Krause.

Half-Way House (Urch Home) Near Monarch

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called What's that picture?, home of Flickr's unidentified vintage photographs, and we'd love to have this and other other mysteries that you may have added to the group!

    believe it or not but my family lived in this house in 1953

    My step father owned the ranch which the Urch Halfway house sat on. His name was Karl Roelofs of Lethbridge. As the house went into a sad but decaying state, I remember that my dad's cattle would walk right into it to escape the wind and snow. My step-dad is now gone, but now I look back and wish he would have preserved the half-way house. As a girl in the mid-seventies, I remember the original wallpaper hanging from the walls in shreds, pink with little rosebuds, and my little brother and I could still go upstairs, carefully, as the stairs were then starting to give out. I still recall the sounds of the wind whistling through the open windows where the glass panes had once been. Now living on the west coast, I often wonder if there is anything left of the halfway house still standing. Time to take journey back one of these days. Thanks for posting this.
