Notes:

August 2014 - Visit with First Cousin Daniel (Danny) Strome

Danny was telling me he could remember his first drink of Scotch - he was abt 17 and was helping Richard with his paper route. They had finished delivering papers, decided to stop in and visit Grampa Dave Wilkie
In some way, the topic of Scotch was talked about and Grampa Dave offered them both some Scotch - Richard asked for mix in his and Grampa Dave replied " If you are going to drink a man's drink then you must act like a man and bottoms up"
To this day, Danny really enjoys a Single Malt scotch - no water, ice or mix. I, Heather, share his sentiments - no mix or water in mine either

Castor plane crash kills businessman.
A funeral service will be held here, tentatively on Friday for Richard Wilkie, 42 of Castor, who was found dead Tuesday afternoon in the wreckage of his light plane after being reported overdue on a flight to Castor from Edmonton.
A Twin Otter 440 search aircraft from CFB Edmonton, found the plane at 3:15 near Heisler, about 50 km. N. of Castor.
Search director Capt. Keith Hummel said Mr. Wilkie was alone on the plane, which left Edmonton Municipal airport about 12:30 am Tuesday for the 50 min. flight to Castor.
Capt. Hummel said there was no indication at the site of the cause of the crash. The aircraft went down in flat, farming terrain, mixed with patches of trees. 2 search and rescue aircraft put in about 16 hours of flying time said Capt. Hummel.
Mr. Wilkie was piloting his Cessna 182, returning from a business trip to Edmonton for his firm E&R Electric Ltd., of Castor.
Capt. Hummel said the federal transport dept. will investigate the crash.
Officials notified Mrs. Wilkie at about 5 am Tuesday that her husbands' plane was missing. Earlier at about 2 am, she received a phone call asking for her husband. Peggy knew it was the airport phoning - said a family member.
The wreck was spotted about 15 hours after takeoff. Mr. Wilkie was a pilot for 7 years. Survivors include his wife Margaret Rose, daughters Janice - 17 and Jacqueling - 16 of Castor. Services held at Community Centre February 27, 1981.
