ANOTHER INN STORY A vacation, get away from it all, do nothing. It sounded good to us. Throw in a house and a car and it was an offer we couldn't turn down. The fact that there was snow on the ground when we landed in Calgary didn't dampen our expectations. But a visit to my brother's "Club" sure did. The note on the kitchen table said "drop over to my Club" and introduce yourselves to the Manager â€" Jim Brown. He is expecting you and will let you use my membership. You pay for nothing. Its a fun place. Enjoy! Peter and Heather. "The Club" is in a beautiful sprawling building with an intimidating entrance way with a sign ”Members Only" Mr. Brown (“call me Jim") welcomed us and had an assistant, (Miss Perky) show us around. ‘2'Your related to Peter and Heather“? she asked and we explained that Peter was my younger brother. "They are wonderful" she replied. We were shown some wonderful Tennis courts and asked if we played "No we don't - sorry" we responded. ”Peter and Heather do - they're very good" we were told- We were shown Squash courts and asked if we played. "No we don't â€" sorry " we responded. "Peter and Heather do â€" they‘re very good" we were told. The same for the Handball and Raquetball courts. ‘ didn't - 2 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN DECEIBER 1990 ‘ EDITORIAL PAGE- Then we were shown the golf range and again asked if we played. "No we don't â€" sorry" we responded. "Peter and Heather do - they are very good." We were asked if we worked out with weights â€" “No we didn't - sorry." Peter and Heather did and were really very good. Did we have an exercise or dancercise routine? "No we sorry." Peter and Heather did and they were wonderful. Finally in a lovely lounge we were asked if we played cards. "No we didn't - sorry." Well Peter and Heather did and in fact were Club Champions". They were very good. We thanked Miss Perky and felt "badly“ as we passed the sign saying "Members Only", for we overheard Miss Perky ask Mr. Brown if he was sure we were related to Peter and Heather. But we may go back. We saw an activity that wasn't pointed out to us. One that Peter and Heather aren't likely wonderful at - don't likely even participate in. Back in a corner wasahottub - and we may use it tomorrow - if we can explain to Miss Perky that I'm an older brother, much older (and busier). And if it's not too hot and no one turns on the “bubbler”. Eleanor & Patrick Dickey EMERGENCY NUMBERS Dr .
