On December 12, a bus load of local men pulled up at Craig’s Department Store in Vermilion to thank John and Doug Stewart for their many years of service. O r i g i n a l d r i ve r, A r n o l d U s e n i k ,
returned to help recreate a similar event that took place in 1982, and Doug Stewart came to greet the gentlemen. According to par ticipants, the original trip had stemmed from hearing concerns that a group of ladies had taken a bus to Edmonton to Christmas Shop. While having their Christmas
coffee party at The Brunswick, a group of men decided to respond by adventuring a mere two blocks away by bus for a Christmas shopping extravaganza at Craig’s Department Store. Some original group members and many of the next generation attended the second trip from Nicks Restaurant,
and all enjoyed reminiscing their many special memories of Craig’s. The men exchanged stories and checked out areas of the store they hadn’t seen in several years. “The bus boys would like to thank John and Doug Stewart for their hospitality,” said Gary Moses.

Missing You Every day without you Since you had to go, Is like Summer without sunshine And Christmas without snow.
Crossroads Funeral Chapel (Creech’s Crematorium Ltd.)
I wish that I could talk to you There's so much that I would say, Life has changed so very much Since you went away. I miss the bond between us And I miss your kind support,
You're in my mind and in my heart, And every Christmas thought. I’ll always feel you close to me And though you're far from sight, I'll search for you among the stars That shine on Christmas night. www.crossroadsfuneralchapel.com
