Boyle was a thriving community. At the end of the 30s he was going to school, in 1942 he moved to Edmonton to go to school to finish his grade 12 diploma. Finished in 1944 and then joined the army. After the war, he did not want to go back to school. He had long fingers and everyone told him he could either be a pianist, a surgeon, or an artist. He didn't want to go to school to be a surgeon, but he should have because the army would have paid for a lot of it. His dad did forced service with the Tzarist army. After he finished, he came to Canada to check it out and then went back and did this a couple of times. The final time he brought his wife in about 1907 or 1908 or 1909 and stayed in Canada. His family moved to the Boyle area in 1928. His oldest sister got married and moved to the Boyle area, so then his family bought a homestead in Boyle because the land was better. His father was born in today's Cherkavska oblast. His mother was born in the same village, her maiden name is Sawchuk. His ex-wife was born Shandro, AB. She is a Shandro.

They used the Langstroth system in apiculture. Langstroth made it clear beekeeping was more than just getting bees and selling honey. A small colony of bees is unproductive. The nature of a hive of bees is that the queen is constantly laying eggs, worker bees are nurturing the eggs. Eventually the queen will lay a queen egg, takes half of the hive with her and establishes another hive. When they do this there is no honey production. To stop this you need to stop the queen cells from producing eggs. Continues to describe the method. It is a very labour intensive method.

Traditionally it is 12 lenten dishes. Family would all come and as his sisters got married they would bring everyone. After dinner they would sing carols, sit around and visit, play cards. They were humble so that's how it was. A lot of the things in the meal were produced at home. They had Christmas trees years later in about 1938-9 or maybe a little before that. They always celebrated in January. In December, the school would have their school concert. The teacher would be judged based on the Christmas concert they produced. There was no school for the Christmas break. At Ukrainian Christmas they needed to go back to school. He went to the school called Monticello. There were no nationalities in the school other than Ukrainian. There was a lot of harmony and pride in the school. \n\nEaster wasn't as significant until the church was built. It was founded in 1935, but probably built in 1936 or 1937. Then Easter took on a real meaning because they would have a midnight vigil. They needed to import a priest from Edmonton. When the congregation was being formed and organized a priest would come from Edmonton and hold a service in their school. Easter meant a midnight vigil and a sunrise service. To a young fellow who had never seen this before, it was a very memorable and special occasion. He must have been about 9 or 10 when they had the service. He remembers times when there wouldn't be a priest, but they would still have a service without the priest. \n\nBirthdays weren't important in their family back then.No gifts or cakes. Even at Christmas the presents were practical, knit at home, a pencil or whatever. Dominion Day was a big event with the town. There was always a picnic and ball games and races. Could win money prizes. Neighbours would visit. There was a big dance with a local orchestra. It was the social highlight of the year. School was out for the year and there was a reason to celebrate.
