The family moved to St. Lina in the fall of 1952. Only twelve of Ernest and Jeanne’s children made the move with them. Jean-Marie and Pierretta were now living in Edmonton. Ernest faced with making payments on the land, worked out for other farmers as much as he could. There were struggles as the children became teenagers and made their own decisions — some good, some not so much. They also had to be resourceful and get the work done on the farm because Ernest was so often gone. This chapter is also about departures. The children left home to work, to go to school, and to get married.
