I used to play for one or two years with the Glenboro Senior Hockey team. I was the goaltender, and lived in Belmont, but travelled twice a week back and forth to the arena, if I could scrounge a car from someone. I believe the name of the team were the Chiefs, but unsure of that. We won the championship the one year I played. The winning championship jackets were green with white lettering. I have tried to bring it up on the net, but no such luck.
The year would be some where around 56/57/58. I was only 16 or so, but after every game, I got into the Glenboro Inn/hotel for a few drafts with the other players, who were a few years ahead of me in age.
I even took a liking to a girl named Joan/Joanne Robertson or Roberts I think, and we had a few dates, I liked her and the feeling was mutual, but her father labelled me as a hockey bum, which I may have been, so that was broken off.
The hockey was great and the town treated great, always liked your town and have been back a few times over the years, but only to pass by while going into Belmont.
Don’t suppose that there are a whole lot of players around anymore, but if there is give me an email. (kbb@shwa.ca).    Bari Beggs

What a great web page. To look at the theater and main street and see how little everything has changed, was a walk through my childhood., sure brought back some great memories. And “Hello” Uncle Ken.

   Wishing to say ‘hello’ to my old friends in Glenboro and District. I just finished reading Glenboro’s web-site, enjoyed it very much... A lot of familiar names are seen, still contributing as involved citizens, all these years. Wonderful!
   In October 1976, the Glenboro Veterinary Clinic was officially opened, with Veterinary Director Dr Jack McPhedran cutting the ribbon.
   That was 34 years ago this month (October, 2010), almost to the day.... golly, a life time ago... Don Foster and I were both there, with a lot of other interested folks, sharing in that happy event. I recall that it was a bright, sunny day, the grass still very green.
I can still remember doing bovine Caesarians in the back area of the new clinic, with my cow-patients secured firmly within the stanchion. It was a wonderful new facility, a delight to work in.
   Good to see that Sara and her supporters are doing so well. All the best, to Glenboro and District.
