The
wildlands of the great Peace River country were for me, a garden, out
of which grew knowlege, skill and adventure, preparing me for the
future. From hard work and family fun to wild
encounters with
danger, life was never dull.
Adventure
began the moment I was old enough to walk and was experienced daily
with resident wildlife, comical neighbours and crazy experiments.
Hazard or humour, it is all the same in the end. Once you are safely
home again, the incident becomes an experience to be told and retold
for others to enjoy.
