I have been thinking about Trixie Wray, as there was an obituary in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix for a Gloria Wray this past week.
I began working at the Swing Inn in Moose Jaw in the early 1960’s (followed by my sisters Darla and Kathy). So many memories!
Trixie was such a sweetheart! I remember her calling me into the office a few times to tell me I was doing a good job, and would give me a raise! One night she had us over to her house on the East side of town, too. A wonderful boss, and always laughing!
Years later, at the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club, I would have lunch with Joe Young, who I discovered helped the Wrays with the KFC franchise.
My condolences to the family, upon discovering Trixie had passed away. One of the good ones; her picture here sums it all! I will always remember her fondly.
