The story of Gordon Henry and Phyllis Glenna Maude Carnegie begins October 29, 1941.

Gordon was one of fifteen children of John and Isobella Carnegie. He, Gordon was raised on a farm seven miles north of Edmonton in the Namao district. He left the farm and worked in many places for some years. Then he returned to help his dad on the farm again.

I, Phyliss was born and raised in Edmonton as an adopted daughter of Wm. G. and Charity Maude Townsley. They had three sons (my brothers)

We stayed on Gordon's dad's farm where our first daughter Glenna was born August 9th, 1942.

In 1958, February 17th, we were blessed with twins, a boy Steven and a girl Michelle. In 1960, October 28th we had another daughter, Lori Lynn.

The children are all married, except Steven, and all live in this area.. I now have eleven grandchildren, two great grandchildren. Thus life goes on.
