Conservative or New Democrat?

It’s speculation perhaps, but if “Berliner” Kehler’s political favour rested within the boundaries of the Conservatives, how easily would he have crossed the room to support strong ties with that of his descendants?

In 1969, Ed Schreyer persuaded Elmer (Al) Reimer, 42, grandson of “Berliner” Kehler, to run in the La Verendrye riding, which included Steinbach.  Al Reimer had respectable academic credentials, elevating NDP favour.  While English Professor Al’s political career failed to get off the ground, his academic career was later deemed highly successful.  This ad was found in The Carillon News, June 1969.

Faith Renewed

As the Christmas season was approaching and familiar songs and scenes started to appear once again, my mind was taken back to earlier days of how we used to celebrate Christmas with family and friends at home.
