Crier subscriber  and former Mildmayite Ted Hesch sent us this very interesting and timely photo due to the  recent Coronation of the new King Charles.  Ted, a retired member of the RCMP, was involved in providing security for him when he visited Calgary, Alberta as a Prince in 1977.  The photo was taken at the  Sarcee Indian Reserve now known as the Tsuu Tina Reserve located adjacent to Calgary.  Ted, in uniform, is pictured at the right. Prince Charles, in the middle of the photo, was in prayer with the local Sarcee Indians.  (Thank you Ted for sharing your photo!)

This photo was brought into the Town Crier with the hopes that someone might recognize the building. The sign on the post (as shown in the close up photo) indicates that the building was in Mildmay and the posted speed limit of 12 miles per hour certainly meant for some slow moving traffic! Any information would be appreciated… thanks to Chuck Wendt for sharing the photo with us.
