First Official Book Launch
Badger Town Hall, Badger, NL

Between Windsor and Badger is the Loggers Life Museum. I visited there three times during the writing of my book. It helped give me a true feel of the logging camps. I stopped in again on my way to the Badger launch. I wanted to show my daughter and granddaughter about a segment of life that they had never seen. We took some great pictures. The outdoor museum is truly worth a visit.

 Old friends from my childhood flocked to the Town Hall, friends from Grand Falls-Windsor came along and I was supported by my children and grandchildren and the Flanker Press family. We had a wonderful crowd and the seats were full. I was grateful and overwhelmed by the response.

It was first public speaking event. I had a wordy typed-written speech but I decided to put it aside and speak to the people from my heart to theirs. It must have been the right thing to do because they gave me a standing ovation!
