--Remembering Norman
WOOD.
Norm was generally meticulous in the way
he went about doing things. Whether it was in handling square bale of
hay on the elevator or stacking in the barn, rebuilding his hay wagon,
or cutting and piling fire wood in the bush, there was a right way and a
wrong way. If one happened to do it wrong, one soon found out. In an
earlier Remembrance, I told how Norm and Roy had built the driveway into
our home and how well it has stood the traffic of these many years. The
road building did not stop there. Norm took it into his head to rebuild
the old road through the swale down to the lake. It had been part of the
horse pasture many moons ago. With his tractor and wagon he hauled all
the large flat stones to build up the sides of the road before
infilling. Each flat stone was put in place, not thrown. A small culvert
was set in place to allow flow of water in the swale. Then came the
dumping of granular from his pit, all shovelled off the back of the
wagon. Hardly finished, along came the truck from Superior loaded with
concrete tiles. Without a word, Norm waved the driver to back up to the
lake and over the culvert only recently installed. Wow! No problem! Ron
WOOD was at the other end. He unloaded the tile. That was a significant day!
