Pioneering spirit revealed in book

I RECENTLY talked to a
fascinating couple, Jerry
and Rose Hale, who live
beside Tatogga Lake, six
hours north on the Cas-
siar hwy.

 They’ve just finished
writing a. new book,
called / Never Walked
Alone. The book tells the
Story of the Hale family
which moved in 1957
from Texas to the Peace
River country.

: Jerry was born in Texas
and he remembers his
family as being very

or, farming with mules.
: The family emigrated to
the homesteading atea of
Warsley, Alberta in 1957,
but it was still hard for
farmers there.

. Jerry’s father wasn’t
just a farmer. He also
Started the Worsley Bap-
tist Church and was a
‘pastor there for 20 years.

: Al the same lime Jerry’s

HERES ‘N THERE:
YVONNE MOEN

brother D.K. Hale was
living in Terrace, and was
the pastor of the Uplands
Baptist church.

Jerry’s wife Rose, of
‘Alberta Rose” as he
called her, was born near
Eueka River in Alberta.
Her father Dick Dixon
was a great outdoorsman.

Rose’s mother Florence
was half Cree. She taught
Dick how to cook ban-
nock over a campfire and

the two cleared their land

by hand.

Jerry and Rose married
on October 24, 1959,
Jerry was 19 and Rose
was 17,

Jerry and Rose had five
children three
daughters Annabella, Lisa
and Darla and two sons
Slan and = Manny.
Manny lives in Terrace
now,

Jerry and Rose’s book
ielis ‘what it’s like’ to
carve a farm and ranch
out of the bush and how
to raise a family of five
children.

Times were tough, and
ultimately they lost: their
home to the bank.

Eventually Jerry and
Rose moved to Tatogga
Lake in northern B.C. to
operate the Tatogga Lake
Resort.

They sold the business
in 1994 to Hal and Bunty

Altaus. Many people here
will remember Hal as the
butcher at Terrace Co-op,
Jerry and Rose now
own the properly next
door, and live in. their
retirement home beside
beautiful Tatogga Lake.

They were recently

away visiting family and

had an unexpected visitor
go into their house and
make quite a mess.
Apparently a huge griz-
zly bear entered” their
home by ripping apart
one section of a wall to
make his entry. Then he
started to pull things
apart. He even went into
their bedroom and walked
on their bed — which he
broke —- and somehow
smashed a rocking chair.
He ate everything he
could, including the par-
ridge. The story almost
sounds like something
from the Goldilocks and
