JESSICA LEE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

John Sukkau, 89, looks at a scrapbook of photos of past get-togethers of him and his friends on September 22, 2021 at Larters at St. Andrew’s Golf and Country Club during the last Club 56 meet-up.

In 1956, 14 couples from Winnipeg married and formed a club they called Club ’56. They have been meeting every year since 1956, however this meeting is their last meeting because the members are aging and some have moved out of the province. The original group of 28 is now a group of 14 as some members have passed away or moved out of province.
