Notes From Doyle Argyle
Some of Delbert
Argyle’s early childhood was spent racing horses, playing in the snow, skiing
and sled riding on the old Kynaston hill as many of you remember out on the
flat. Most of these skis, sleds,
toboggans and things were home made.
Some of the Kynaston boys became very skilled in making skis. I remember their well house, which was made
of logs. Above one of the doors there
was a gap between the door seal and the top log. It was just right to soak these skis and put
them in there to turn the tips so they made a decent tip to ride down the hill
with. Much of my early memories of
having fun with my dad was going to the Kynaston hill and sledging and skiing
down this hill. It wasn’t long and it
wasn’t far to climb up and come back down again. This is what made it fun.
