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 inay dareemaan wanaag xagga wax-akhriska, isaga oo ka caawinaya inay ku kalsoonaadaan fahamka iyo kobcinta raaxada akhriska. Saamaynta ugu muhiimsan, si kastaba ha ahaatee, waa xiriirka togan ee uu la dhiso ardayda. Waxa uu wakhti ku qaataa in uu si shakhsi ah u barto oo uu ilmo kasta oo uu la shaqeeyo ka dhigaa mid gaar ah oo la jecel yahay. Waa 'saaxiib weyn' oo la jecel yahay dhammaan ardayda, qof walbana wuxuu rabaa inuu u leexdo si uu ula shaqeeyo Mr. McFarland. Waa bini'aadam cajiib ah."

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 balaadhinay fikradiisa si aanu ugu yeedhno awoowayaasha kale iyo asxaabta kale si ay ugu biiraan hadafka taageerada akhristayaashayada da'da yar. Dick awgeed, waxaan maanta ku leenahay in ka badan 20 saaxiibo ah oo iskaa wax u qabso ah Deephaven. 

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. "Mar walba wuxuu u sheegaa sida uu ugu faraxsan yahay inuu la joogo iyaga iyo sida uu u xiisay iyaga. Farxaddiisa iyo hab-dhaqankiisa togan ayaa fasalka ku soo qulqulaya oo dhammaanteen na dareensiiya farxad uu 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. “Kaliya aad ayay u argagax badan yihiin. Waa wax lagu farxo in la joogo subax kasta oo Talaado ah. Dadka halkan jooga waa kuwo aad u faraxsan, waxaana jeclahay inaan sameeyo. Waan samayn doonaa ilaa inta aan awoodo.” 

Waad ku mahadsan tahay dadaalkaaga iyo daryeelkaaga, Mudane McFarland!
