Albert Berger, my uncle was the 9th child of Katherine and Joseph Berger, born in the district of Robin Hood, approximately 65 miles north west of Moose Jaw on June 20, 1923.
Albert became a farmer as a teenager which he continued through his adult life. He was a proud producer of Purebred Herford cattle and a successful wheat farmer. Albert continued to farm until his retirement and moved to Moose Jaw in the early 1990s.
Albert has been married to Sheila for 62 years and they have one daughter Glenna, a successful Country and Western singer. She resides in Swift Current with her husband Blaine Switzer.
Fond memories of Uncle Albert include harvesting, cattle round-ups, hauling cattle to the stock yards in Moose Jaw and playing cards. He still continues to play Bridge and 500 with his senior friends.
On behalf of my family, I wish Uncle Albert a very, very Happy Birthday, which will be celebrated on Friday June 23.
