A milestone anniversary

HELLO THERE!

Here 1 am again, back
after missing a week.

I'm sorry for the absence,
but ] had fo return to Win-
nipeg, as my mother passed
away suddenly on January

She'd lived a long and full
life, and would have been
90-years-old on March 17,

She had been in reasonab-
ly good health until the time
of her death,

This week, I’d like to take
4 moment to tell you about a
special couple who very
recently, celebrated a huge
milestone in their lives,

Gunther = and ~— Alley
Lenardt have been married
for 50 years, and on Decem-
ber 30th they gathered to-
gether with friends, family
and loved ones to celebrate

‘their life of happiness to-
gether.

And the couple would like
to thank everyone for shar-
ing that very special day
with them.

Let’s go back a few years
now and meet Gunther and
Alley before they knew each
other.

Gunther was born on De-
cember 23, 1921 in Bremen,
Germany,

He grew up there during
what he describes as a very
long war, and worked as a
wireless operator.

Alley was bom on July 19,
1924 in Oldenburg,
Germany where she grew up
and went to school.

It was while she was
working a guest house there
that she met her future hus-

Gunther and Alley Lenardt

band.

They first ran across each
other on a beautiful Sunday
afternoon - it could be they
were both enjoying a day

/ HERE. 'N'THERE.

Alley’s Uncle Henry and

off on the beach at the her friend Bella acted as at-

Weser River,

The date was August 1,
1943,

A two year courtship fol-
lowed, most of it by mail,
and they were eventually
married by a justice of the
peace on December 29,
1945 in Bremen,

tendants,

Gunther then worked for a
lime as a city police officer
at Bremen Harbour, but in
1951, the couple decided it
was time to immigrate to
Canada,

Their first home found
them in Vancouver where

Alley worked at a
drycleaners and Gunther
worked for Canada Packers.

Three years later, in 1954,
he was hired by Alcan to
work as a millwright and the
Lenardts moved to Kitimat.

In 1970, he changed jobs,
and went to work for
Eurocan Pulp and paper,
and remained there until his
retirement in 1985,

But in 1972, the couple
decided it was time for a
change again, and they de-
cided to move to Terrace,
where they now live with
their son Ralph on Cedar
Cresent,

The Lenardt’s have two
children, Ralph and Cora,
and five beautiful grand-
children.

May they continue to en-
joy many more years of
health and happiness togeth-
ert

INTL RC UITURE CANADA

IN PREPARATION for their March pro-
duction of Oleanna, five Terrace Little
Theatre members braved winter weather
and Jong bus and train trips to travel to
Prince George recently to see Theatre
North West's closing night performance of
David Mamet’s Oleanna.

Directed by Ted Price, the play starred

professional actors Don Thompson and

Michelle Portor.

The story is set at any university in the
present time. The plot revolves around a
professor, John and his student, Carol, and
is a gripping drama about power abuse and
the need for communication.

Veteran TLT members Alan Weston and
Marianne Brorup Weston have been cast in
the roles of John and Carol by fisst lime
director Jo Patterson, The three, along with
slage manager Diana English and assistant
slage manager/dramaturge Patrick McIntyre
look time out from a busy rehearsal sched-
ule to see the production directed by Ted
Price.

Over the past three years Patterson has
Studied the play Oleanna as well as other
works by David Mamet. The Prince George
production is the third time she has seen
Olcanna on stage.

While TLT’s production of Olcanna is
still in the formative stage Patterson
believes enough research has been done
and character foundation completed that
neither she nor the actors will have any dif-
ficulty maintaining their own direction. In
faci, Patterson says seeing the production
reinforced and clarified for ber all of the
ground work they had already laid,

Both Weston and Brorup Weston were
impressed by Ted Price’s production.
Brorup Weston noted that watching the per-
formance gave her the ability to stand back
and see how wide a range Carol has —
more than she had discovered to date.

In particular she said that Porter truly un-
derstood what Carol was saying and the
words Mamet wrote. Weston spoke for the
group when he said they ‘‘learned what we
need ta achieve as a standard to make this
play a success,”’

Oleanna will be performing March 21,
22,23 and 28, 29, 30 at the McColl
Playhouse, The production will travel to
Prince Rupert in April to complete at the
Skeena Zone Drama Festival. The best play
at the festival will travel to Kamloops in
July to compete at Theatre BC’s Mainstage,
