Their Hopes
__
Our Heritage
Complied by
This book is dedicated
to our forefathers who through hard labour, persistence and ingenuity
established the framework for our lifestyle as we live it today. These same
pioneers, out of necessity and desire, created a sense of community and
friendship which we continue to cherish. For their shining examples of courage,
dedication, and optimism in the face of adversity we are indeed grateful. We
hope that within these pages our readers will find information, insight,
laughter, nostalgia, and a sense of their special spot in the tides of time.
