At left is a personal project that began over a decade ago. My grandmother, Evelyn Lawson, whose memoirs this small book holds, was a remarkable woman. In this small book, she recounts some of the events of her life growing up in rural Saskatchewan at the beginning of the last century, her marriage to my grandfather, her family's move to Winnipeg during the depression to find employment and how there she made her life.
This project has been sitting on the back-burner since my mother handed it to me shortly after the turn of the millennium. As with many projects, there's always something more important that needs doing! However, with my grandmother now gone and my own mother's seventy-fifth birthday coming up soon, no excuse was strong enough that I couldn't complete this project and have it printed as a gift to Mom.
