SEE P20010047001-GA FOR MORE FAMILY HISTORY. ___________ AT THE GALT’S REQUEST, DONOR ELAINE LIEBELT PROVIDED MORE DETAILS WITH REGARDS TO HER FAMILY'S AND HER OWN USE OF RESPECTIVE OBJECTS IN THE LIEBELT COLLECTION ON 31 AUGUST 2011. HER ORIGINAL COMMENTS AS TO THIS OBJECT ARE AS FOLLOWS: “JACOB WAS A FARMER AND AS MOST FARMERS ARE WONT TO DO, HE NEVER THREW ANYTHING AWAY BECAUSE HE MIGHT FIND A GOOD USE FOR IT “SOMEDAY”. WE ARE NOT SURE WHERE JACOB FOUND THESE INSULATORS BUT WHEN WE WERE CLEANING OUT HIS GARAGE, WE FOUND A WHOLE BOX OF THEM THAT HAD TRAVELLED WITH THEM FROM THE FARM TO THE HOUSE IN WARNER TO THE HOUSE IN LETHBRIDGE. I DON’T THINK “SOMEDAY” CAME.”
