EIB High Note: The Power of Love
May 11, 2021
TODD: The EIB High Note today is about the power of true love, and true love is patient and kind and it’s never angry. I mean, it’s hard not to be angry sometimes, but this is a story of a devoted 79-year-old husband who he went to a beauty school in Canada recently to get lessons on hair and makeup. He’s 79 years old. Why?
He wanted to help his wife of 50 years who was struggling to get ready every day, a routine in which she takes great pride. Carrie Hannah is the director of the College of Hair and Aesthetics in Calgary, and she said it was a first in her 31 years in the industry, but one of her best days as an instructor.

Manitobans continue to look for the best in less-than-ideal COVID-19 situations in this week s good news.
Another COVID-19 summer is on the horizon, and yet, plans for Kids Day Camps are still in the works.
Boyd Kleiver, program director at Roseau River Bible Camp, says their camp opened up registration to campers back in March and already have over 200 campers registered.
When it comes to restrictions, Kleiver says, We don t really think the restrictions (this year) will be more limiting than what they were last year. Our sports skills was one skill that we x ed, but all of the other skills were good to go. Archery and ropes had disinfection stations. We were able to make each skill work, with a few adaptions, to what a regular summer would look like.
Elderly Man Goes to Beauty School to Learn How to Do Hair and Makeup For Aging Wife
A devoted 79-year-old husband went to a beauty school to get lessons in hair and makeup to help his “beautiful” wife who can no longer get ready by herself.
His wife’s vision was failing and, as a result, she kept burning herself while trying to curl her hair. Thus the husband, who wants to remain anonymous, decided to learn how to use the curling wand and get some tips from the staff at Delmar College of Hair and Esthetics. (SWNS)
“My staff and students were so touched by his sincere wish to help his wife of 50 plus years,” director Carrie Hannah said. “Her appearance has always been something she has taken pride in and it’s important to her so therefore important to him.”

Brothers meet for the 1st time after spending nearly 60 years apart
After being separated for almost six decades, Martin Hauser was finally able to meet his younger brother, Joe Shaw, for the first time last month and the happy occasion was made even sweeter by the fact that it took place right before Shaw s wedding. Hauser was adopted as a baby in 1962 in North Carolina, and after he started having his own children, decided to learn more about his biological parents and any siblings he might have. He took DNA tests and visited ancestry websites, but kept coming up short. Last December, the Children s Home Society tracked down Hauser s biological father s death certificate, and listed as his next of kin was Shaw. Within 15 minutes, Hauser found Shaw on Facebook and sent him a message, and they were soon chatting on the phone. Hauser told WXII he hopes his story will inspire others who are struggling to find information about their biological families.
