Interesting People

I had the pleasure of meeting some interesting people this week. Gerry MIller is the man behind the success of the Heritage Village at Cochrane's Polar Bear Habitat attraction. Gerry is a retired train conductor and farmer, whose passion is collecting and restoring old cars, farm equipment and antiques. This man is a treasure of knowledge. I consider myself lucky to have met him and learned a little about the importance of days gone by.


Later in the day I met Rolly & Melissa Lessard who run the Abitibi River Houseboats Expeditions north of Cochrane. Their hospitality was fantastic. We had a fun time cruising the river, enjoying lunch and seeing wildlife. It was all part of a trip involving a group of travel writers from England and Scotland who are visiting James Bay Frontier this week. More about that soon.
