The Dauphin Herald

Even though I haven't spent more than a long weekend in Dauphin, Manitoba in over a decade, I still identify very much with my old hometown. I recently got a subscription to the town paper, The Dauphin Herald, which I used to deliver when I was a young boy in elementary school (along with the now defunct Daily Bulletin!).

It's been almost half my life since I've called Dauphin home, so I don't recognize as many names and faces making the news there as I once would have. But recently, I was treated to two articles by former teachers of mine.

My high school career lasted from 1990-91 to 1992-93, and during that time I had Mr. Bill Walley for Science, and Mr. Ed Stozek for Language Arts. Both were fantastic teachers. In a recent edition of the Dauphin Herald, Mr. Walley wrote about bird counts in Riding Mountain National Park. Meanwhile, Mr. Stozek has a fascinating weekly article that looks back into the history of Dauphin and the Parkland.

Nearly 20 years after I graduate, and these guys are still teaching me things...

Fellow former Dauphinites, you too can subscribe to the Dauphin Herald!
