Here is another excerpt from:
Canada — Through the Eyes of a Prairie Farm Kid
Grandpa shares the stories that shaped his life, from the Prairies to every corner of this great country.
Dayliner To Saskatoon
As a child, I made a twice yearly trip to Saskatoon for care by Saskatchewan’s only (at that time) orthodontist.
20260930
In the late 1950s, I was a patient of Dr. Schacter, the only orthodontist in Saskatchewan. My parents would drive me from Colgate to Regina to catch the CN Dayliner (a Budd Car, self propelled rail coach) to Saskatoon.
I was about 10 years old.
I’d check in with the “Traveler’s Aid” volunteers at their booth in the train station and then make my way across the street to Dr. Schacter’s office. After my appointment, I would return to the station, check in again at Traveller’s Aid and await the return dayliner to Regina.
Funny thing, I remember the bathrooms in the train station. There was one closet that was free to use, but the remainder were coin operated and required a dime! (Graffiti on the wall: “Here I sit brokenhearted, spent my dime and only farted. Last time I took a chance, saved my dime and shit my pants.”)
I started writing these stories back in 2016. Since then, I’ve discovered that the more I write, the more I remember — and the more I want to share. I suspect I’ve only just begun. Stay tuned.
