Comment on Alberta’s most famous cowboy by Connie Klassen

I am now Klassen, my maiden name was Gardner, I knew the 2 girls Nettie and Mildred (tiny) We lived next door to them in Vulcan county Alberta. So awesome to see John Ware recognised. His family were a very proud family,and justly so.
Love to see his cabin again,and his gear. His family bible was donated by Nettie to our family church, and sits open on the pulpit.

I was born and raised in Medicine Hat until aged 15, our family left to join my father then serving in the Army overseas.

How wonderful to see the pictures of the pottery, much of which I recognised. My mother pused to store eggs in a deep lidded container in our basement, probably a bean pot.
