I arrived in Edmonton after the short drive from Calgary.
I was able to stop north of Red Deer, Alberta in the town of Ponoka and spend an hour or so with Maureen O'Connell, the daughter of my close friends, Dan and Sheila O'Connell. I hadn't seen Maureen since she was in High School and came to one of my Summer Picnics years ago. She is now 31 with a Doctorate in Psychology. She is a counselor at a Center for Head Injuries in Ponoka. She's a fine young person...just like her parents. How great to meet someone that you know over a thousand miles from home.
I'm posting a photo from our meeting. I'm also posting a photo from my first camp in Jamestown, North Dakota...this photo is significant because it is the last known photo of me when I still had an appendix.
Tomorrow, I'm off to Dawson Creek where I've already booked a room at the Ramada. Dawson Creek is at the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, so I should start to see some really beautiful scenery...I'll take plenty of photos to post.
