I met Myrna and her late husband Robert on a Canada Post bus trip. We've been friends ever since. I loved her all her stories, but the one about her refrigerator was one I wouldn't forget. I never knew anyone who had a fridge as long as she did. I couldn't remember how long she had it. She read my post yesterday and I got this email from her:
Hi. I had to deal with it's passing back a bit. It was still running but warm. So felt it was time to say good by! Ordered it from Sears catalogue in August 1964. It was out of stock but waited a few weeks with no fridge and a new baby. It was worth the wait. It was in it's 59th year when I unplugged it. I still miss it terribly! Loved the model.
I knew she had her refrigerator for a long time, but 59 years! I hope her new one lasts a long time too. Keep cool in this heat wave, Myrna and keep in touch with your wonderful stories! Hope to see you soon.
