Sannado ka hor, Dick McFarland waxa uu warqad u qoray maamulaha dugsiga hoose ee Deephaven Bryan McGinley, isaga oo wax ka weydiinaya fursadaha tabaruca dugsiga. "Waxaan rabay in aan iskaa wax u qabso ku sameeyo dugsi ku yaal daaradayda," ayuu la wadaagay McFarland, oo 93 jir ah. Maamule McGinley ayaa dib ugu yeedhay maalintii xigtay, waxaana bilaabmay iskaashi qurux badan. 

McFarland aad buu u xiiseeyaa wax-akhriska, sidaa awgeed tabarucnimadiisii waxay qaadatay qaab xidhiidhinta ardayda fasallada koowaad iyo labaad si ay u dhegaystaan iyagoo kor u akhrinaya. Hadda, waxa laga heli karaa subaxda salaasada badankeeda fasalka labaad ee Rachel Norton. 

"Saamaynta Dick uu ku sameeyo tabarucnimadiisa waa laba," ayuu yidhi Norton. "Waxa uu ka caawinayaa ardayda in ay dareemaan wanaag ku saabsan wax-akhriska, isaga oo ka caawinaya inay ku kalsoonaadaan fahamka iyo kobcinta raaxaysiga akhriska. Saamaynta ugu muhiimsan, si kastaba ha ahaatee, waa xiriirka wanaagsan ee uu la dhiso ardayda. Wuxuu qaataa wakhti si uu u barto iyaga shakhsi ahaan wuxuuna ka dhigaa ilmo kasta oo uu la shaqeeyo inuu dareemo mid gaar ah oo la jecel yahay.

Ballanqaadka McFarland ee Deephaven waxay abuurtay saamayn xun kuwa kale ee bulshada dugsiga. "Dick waxa uu leeyahay shakhsiyad birlab ah waxana uu si degdeg ah noo tusay saamaynta togan ee awoowayaasha ay ku samayn karaan dugsiga," ayuu yidhi maamule McGinley. "Waxaan ballaarinay fikradiisa si aan ugu martiqaadno awoowayaasha kale iyo saaxiibada awoowaha si ay ugu soo biiraan hadafka taageerada akhristayaashayada ugu da'da yar, Dick awgeed, waxaan leenahay in ka badan 20 saaxiibo ah oo tabaruc ah Deephaven maanta." 

Norton waxay sheegtay in booqashooyinka McFarland ee dugsiga ay yihiin mid ka mid ah waqtiyada ugu wanaagsan usbuuca fasalkeeda. "Marka uu soo galo fasalkayaga Talaadada, waxa uu leeyahay farxad, 'Subax Wanaagsan, Ardayda!'," Norton ayaa yidhi. "Wuxuu had iyo jeer u sheegaa sida uu ugu faraxsan yahay in uu la joogo iyaga iyo sida uu u xiisay iyaga. Farxaddiisa iyo dabeecaddiisa togan ayaa soo dhex gala fasalka oo naga dhigaya dhammaanteen inaan dareemno farxad inuu nala joogo."

"Dick waxa uu qaatay hindisaha si uu uga qayb qaato oo uu isbeddel u sameeyo," maamulaha McGinley ayaa yidhi. "Wuxuu muujiyay in dadka da' kasta leh ay isbeddel weyn ku sameyn karaan dugsiyadeena haddii ay qaataan hindise ay ku lug leeyihiin."

McFarland, ardaydu waa udub dhexaadka sababta uu mutadawacnimada ugu shaqeeyo. "La shaqeynta carruurta - waan jeclahay iyaga," ayuu yiri McFarland. "Waxay ahaayeen kuwo aad u argagax badan, waa wax lagu farxo in aan halkan joogo subax walba, dadka halkan jooga waa kuwo aad u faraxsan, aniguna waan jeclahay inaan sameeyo, waan samayn doonaa ilaa inta aan awoodo." 

Waad ku mahadsan tahay dadaalkaaga iyo daryeelkaaga, Mudane McFarland!
