In 1976 Len and Edith purchased a cottage in Oak Point, MB where they spent the next 25 years whenever they could. When Len retired in 1992, they spent a couple of winters in Arizona. They travelled a lot visiting friends and relatives including a trip to Kansas City for the MSOS games. Edith loved playing cards, was an avid bowler, and enjoyed floor curling. She totally loved her grandchildren, baking for them, knitting afghans for them, and making up picture albums for them. Edith's last three years were spent in Deer Lodge Centre where she received compassionate and loving care.
