Main Street, Fusilier, Saskatchewan, 1988
Dear Mr. Palmer,
I thought you might be interested in seeing a couple of pictures
of Fusilier when it was a viable hamlet. I'm thinking it has come
up in the world - it has at least attained 'town' status in that
it is now considered a Ghost Town! The picture taken on our front
steps - my brother Roy, mother Isabelle, father Thomas and me
(Rita).
This was of course a farming area with the drought in the '30's
doing untold damage to the economy and the lives of the people
on farms. My father gave out many groceries on credit with no
hope of return because he couldn't see families without enought
to eat.
Thank you for your interest. I'm so glad my daughter found you
on the
internet.
Sincerely, Rita Allen
