He and his wife Flora will celebrate 70 years of marriage in September of this year. They met at a dance in the community hall on Highway 540 John said he "loved to dance." Some of the biggest changes seen by Mr. Ferguson were from horse and buggy to cars and tractors. The first car he can remember was one owned by his father Andrew, about 1917. He recalled that they would make shopping trips to Little Current about once a week and that he often was the driver. He noted that the roads are much better today, although he no longer drives. The youngest of his family, John said he often skipped school to visit his aunt, Mrs. Lindsay Ferguson, who lived next door to the school in Green Bay. He went there to avoid going to school. He never really cared for farming, either, but said there was nothing else to do. His father owned a sawmill, and when he was older, he would fire up the boilers at the mill. The toys they played with as children were homemade, Mr. Ferguson recalled horses that an older brother cut out of wood for them to play with. When asked what was wrong with today's world, Mr. Ferguson said he thought it was moving too fast, too many strangers had their own ideas on how things should be run. "Some work, some don't," he said philosophically.
