Dreams do come true by LYNNE BADGER Dode and Herb Foss have come home. For the last 36 years they have been coming home to visit but now they are here to stay much to the delight of many friends and relatives in Schreib- er and Terrace Bay. Dode, formerly a Harper is a Schreiber native and Herb consi- ders this area his home even though he is from Galt (now Cambridge) Ontario. They met when Herb was an O.P.P. officer in Schreiber and Dode was calling crews for the C.P.R. On April ber. 16, 1948, they were mar-' 'Armed Forces in 1953. || Sincerely, Health and Welfare Canada ried in St. John's An- With the Forces, the] Liga Malcamson For further information contact/call glican Church in Schrei- _ couple was stationed in . : WORN I es os sw. 888 G) A PRRG RITE ce 229-1010 Manitoba, Goose Bay, G & G Hair Fashions OO OY ee cht fap «'. « OES 229-1714 Herb tells very enter- Labrador, Toronto, New taining role a about.

One trip invol- ved staying overnight in the Kenora Armouries, escaping from some "'low-lifes"? in Dryden and being dropped off in the middle of the night in Hurkett before finally reaching Schreiber. That's Love! With the O.P.P., the Fosses lived in Gerald- ton, Red Rock, Port Arthur and finally Fort William. Herb had ser- ved in the R.C.A.F. in World War II and de- cided to return to the "glad to be home"' and Baden Solingen, West Germany. Herb retired as Chief War- rant Officer in 1978. They have two child- ren, Jeffrey, a pilot, and Captain with the Armed Forces in Ottawa and Lori-Kyle, an adminis- trator, also a captain with the Armed Forces in Toronto. Both child- ren were raised on Arm- ed Forces bases and were more fortunate than most as they spent their summers camping in Europe and some- time in Europe with their parents. Herb and Dode have tried to come home every year and some- times managed to get home three times in one year. They have watch- ed Schreiber develop and yet somehow man- age to "stay the same" and remember when "Terrace Bay sud- denly appeared on the map", and have always wanted to come "'home" permanently. THANK YOU Sending a special thank you to my clientele for their patronage. Looking forward to serving you again in the future. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 21, 1984, page 3 One day a very small ad appeared in -the Toronto, Star regarding the Norwood Motel in Terrace Bay requiring a retired couple as man- agers. Dode had a great deal of experience in administration, having worked at York Univer- sity and other offices in the various cities in which they had lived so they both sent resumes and were jubilant when they were accepted. "It was a dream come true." Dode's sister Lor- raine Weaver and bro- ther Barry Harper and their families as well as several nieces and ne- phews are equally happy to have them here. Joe Commisso seems to ap- .preciate them as well, as he has plans to enlarge their living quarters this spring. Visitors to the area will love them too. Dode invites hotel guests into - her kitchen to chat when they need someone to talk to and Herb has so much energy, he cleans the snow off their guests' cars in the morn- ing. They have only been in Terrace Bay since February 27th but are convinced they made the right decision. Old friends and new can bid them welcome at the Norwood Motel any- time!
