especially Debbie Trollope for the
effort made to ensure public health
and safety.

thousands of woodland acres.
A two hour evening dinner cruise
on the Proud Mary paddlewheeler
was most enjoyable.

famous horseshoe curve railway,
high up in the mountains. After
shopping at the Logan Valley Mall,
they returned to the resort for a
buffet dinner, followed later by a
marshmallow roast and sing-song
around a cheerful fireplace with
burning logs.
All too soon on Thursday
morning it was time to depart this
beautiful lodge, and travel home
through the mountains and
spectacular autumn colours.
Doug Sholdice, M.C. for the
evening paid tribute to Sherry
Souch, a Brigade member killed
