I remember Mrs Ferguson fondly from my years as a member of the kid´s duckpin bowling league at The War Memorial, 1978/79. One Christmas, Mrs Ferguson made teddy bear ornaments for all the members. I still have mine and think of Mrs Ferguson every year that I put it on my Christmas tree. Rest in Peace Mrs Ferguson, and my condolences to the Ferguson Family.
