Bertye looks lovely as usual. She recently(2003) suffered a cerebral aneurysm at age (well, we won't say what age) ?? and is presently(2004) being cared for at her home by her son, Wayne and his wife, Anita. Bert and her late husband, Bennie were among the first of those hardy souls who settled in the 'dale!!
