Dear Sir or Madam:
Hi there, I'm Ewald E. Kaus and would like to fill in the years my wife Mary and I lived in Atikokan. Hope it will be of some value.

I took a job with C.N. Railways in April 1952 as a machinist helper but stayed only 6 months. Then drove truck for Stan Scales who had contract to haul underground waste from B-1 shaft at Steep Rock Iron Mines for about 1 years. I was also a part time taxi driver for Stans Taxi and Service Taxi, then accepted a position with Steep Rock.

After being layed off from C.A.C Steep Rock on January 15,1954 I was out of work untill April 1954 at which time I started on deck H and on the Moose Lake draining project with Construction Aggregates Corp. on the dredge (Randall).I stayed till the job was completed as engine room dialer for 6 years.

I worked 2 years for Gustafson & Mattson at Dove Tail Lake cutting pulp and truck driving on the lake. Then started for Caland Ore Company in April 1963 until March 1969.

We moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in March 1969 and worked for Allan Potash Mines for 4 years. Then on to Formex Mining Company which later changed to Highland Valley Copper and worked there for 17 years as Millwright, returning on May 31, 1990 to Logan Lake, B.C.

We do miss the great fishing at the flood waters. I still think walley are the best eating fish. We also miss all our old friends and the wild berry picking and the good hunting which I did with our young sons.

Most of all we miss the many years of playing softball. I played for many different teams. One year we became champs-don't remember the year. We were called the Rockton Rockets.

My wife mary played 4 years on Dodge Darts Team. They became 3 year champs- 1960,61,61. Mary played left field and was the great home run queen.

Mary and I are now members of Logan Lakes slow pitch team, which we helped organize this year for people 50 years and up.

We play other senior teams in our ares and still enjoy it very much.

We don't have any plans for coming to Atikokan until 1993, see you then.
