    There’s a reason why it’s called The Greatest Generation – and Yvonne Valleau Wildman of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, is a shining example. She had a hardscrabble childhood, served her country with the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War Two, farmed for six decades, and raised seven children. Click on the link below to read her story.

    Thanks for posting that. I found it especially interesting as my father grew up on a wheat farm in Saskatchewan and our family ended up in Washington State so a number of parallels.
