Loverna Saskatchewan

As I have often mentioned, Loverna, Saskatchewan was my second hometown. Many friends were made over the years. Once a townsite had been arranged for on the surveyed railway route, a problem arose, a name for the new town. Mr. McFarland asked for the privilege of naming the town-to-be after his daughter, Mrs. Loverna George, who still lived in the states. SO, "LOVERNA" it became. I have so many fond memories of Loverna, living only a few miles away, we spent a lot of time there, playing ball, music lessons, curling and good old fashioned country dances. As a young lad going to dances, I remember some very colorful characters attending the dances. Today, Loverna  is a Ghost Town but is still an interesting place to visit.
