   Wallace spent his life in Orton. During World War Two he served his country as a navigator in England. After the war, he married Marjorie and they began farming. In the swine industry he excelled. His farm had the first litter of pigs to be born from frozen semen in Canada, and he lectured on this as far away as Texas A&M University and at seminars in Mexico.
   He has raised strawberries, chokecherries, raspberries, saskatoons and pie cherries that many have enjoyed. Rows of trees line his fields and the yards of his neighbors.
   His artwork filled his winter months, and of course music was always with him. He played banjo, piano, organ, accordion, mandolin, and violin, and passed that love on to his family.
