MESSAGE FROM GRAND AERIE

GRAND MADAM PRESIDENT-ELECT

The BEAK was voted

the Overall Grand

Prize Winner in the

2020 Grand Aerie

Bulletin Contest.

This was the first

entry in the

“Electronic” Category

for the Beak.

Congratulations!

Hello Brothers and Sisters. As I write this, it is mid- September of 2020. Conference finals are being decided in the NHL; classes have begun for children, (whether it is home schooling or classroom schooling they are returning to); and COVID-19 continues to be a consideration in what and how we do things in everyday life. The club has reopened with modified hours, services, and entertainment while, for

safety sake, our internal clubs have not begun their weekly activities. I am pleased to see the brothers and sisters who are attending their Aerie and Auxiliary meetings since they have begun again. At this point I offer my congratulations to Madam Joan Trotter and the entire Auxiliary Executive. What the remainder of 2020 holds for us is hard to say. As always, when it comes to operation of the Aerie, in an abundance of safety Aerie 2098 will continue to operate under the rules and regulations governing facilities such as ours regarding COVID19. At this moment I would like to acknowledge the work by the Trustees, Bar Staff, and Calgary 2098 members to get us to where we are today. Stay safe.

Fraternally yours,

Gord Shaw

Worthy President

NORMAN “CURLY” WALZ

September 11, 1931 – March 21, 2020

25 Year Member – Calgary 2098

It is with great sadness that the family of

Curly Walz announces his passing after a long

and courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 88 years.

Curly will be lovingly remember and dearly missed by his

best friend and partner Marj Schell. He is also survived by

his sister Marj Sholan of Winnipeg, Man; brother Fred Walz

of Forest, Ont; his nieces Donna (Ron) Simard of Australia,

Del (Rick) Bridges of Winnipeg, Man., nephews Cornell

(Cheryl) Sholan, Norman Sholan of Calgary, Bill (Karen) Walz

of Bowmanville, Ont. He is also survived by 3 stepchildren.

Curly was predeceased by his first wife Jean, his mother,

father, a niece Dee Sholan, and a stepson. Curly loved curling.

He celebrated his 50th Brier in Kingston, Ontario in March

2020, and was looking forward to attending his 45th Worlds,

in Scotland. Curly will be laid to rest in Queen’s Park

Cemetery.

Please raise a glass to Curly, and if friends or family desire,

donations may be made to STARS, High River Ag Society or

to a charity of their choice. The family would like to thank Dr.

Claire Temple-Oberle, for the wonderful care and

compassion for Curly during his battle with cancer.
