Yes, Happy Birthday Derek!
That was some interesting data to remember. How times change! Life was really simple in Hartline - even then it was like going back 50 years.
The Population of Hartline was 196.
Everything was slow pace - laid back.
I would walk Derek up to the Post Office and the ladies there would weigh him on the scales, so I could see how much he had grown. It was like an enlarged family. I really did love the place.
