Ruth & George Crampton

(Ruth 1925 -2008)

Having fought for the allies as a Polish patriate during WW II, my father had a choice (between 5 countries) to emigrate. He chose Canada. Canadian law required that he work for a Canadian family for 2 years - dad's family in Poland were farmers, so he chose farm work. Dad began work at the Ed & Mary Crampton farm in Kemble Ontario in 1946. The Cramptons' son George was the same age as my father - George & Dad became just like brothers - in fact, George taught my dad how to speak English. In 1946, George married Ruth - the Cramptons have become lifelong family friends.

 

Dad worked for the Bartons on their Saskatchewan farm after "going west" from Kemble Ontario. Dad later bought the Barton farm and farms the land to this day.
