Well, I don't know if I met your grandfather, but I met an older man named Vince outside the old Larry's Tavern nearly a half-century ago. At the time, I was making a habit of trying to find and learn traditional native wisdom and I kept a Journal then, and wrote about an encounter with another "white man" (like me) that we met in PAB. I was with two Ojibway elders and we were going fishing out near Hole in the Wall. One of the elders I was with got talking to a guy he knew as we had stopped in town for bait. The old guys knew each other, I could tell, by their easy banter. I remember Vince(nt) said something about how it was good in the spring but, now it was too warm. We went anyways and Idat in the boat thinking about how the cold water currents and the season affected fishing. (He turned out to be right!) I had never realized how complicated nature was, and how much there was to learn. I had always thought that a good fishing hole was, well, a good fishing hole. That comment was one of the few I heard back then that set me off on a life-long fascination with nature. Hope it was him, that would be an interesting connection to your video.
@deborah9944 west of the Marina. We were the Broadhursts. My aunt and uncle had a cottage east of the bridge next door to my other aunt and uncle, the minialoffs.

That gas station on hwy 69 is always 10c/L more than anywhere else. 🤨
