PLEASE FORWARD TO F. BRUCE RYANS. Bruce, you wouldn’t be the son of Fred Ryans by any chance? I spent many summers myself in Haliburton at the family cottage and really enjoyed your article on the Highlander. If you are indeed Fred’s son, I am married to your first cousin, Jo-Ann Ambrose. Anyway, enjoyed the train story.

Comment on 1963 Camp Staff by pat edwards

My name is Pat Edwards-I was on staff-1960-63. One of the other guys on staff in 1959-61 was Monty(Ed) Macpherson who I had known since cubs. I lost track of Monty after 1968- at which time he was working on his Phd in Chemistry. In 2006 I looked up Monty- finding that there were 43 Ed MacPhersons in Ontario- but found him on the first phone call. Monty has turned into a serious canoeist- out 100 nights a year and we have been on 5 canoe trips in northern Ontario- totally enjoying our reconnection. I am a retired tax partner from PWC and a municipal councillor in Muskoka and remember the great summers I had at HSR! a great place to spend the summers!

Ken Orr came up as a volunteer initially, I believe, but then became Trapper after John Simerson left. He subsequently left before the summer was over, and I took over trapper duties as well as being Indian and occasional outripper.

I am planning to leave for HSR about mid-day on Friday August 5th and have tons of space for people / gear. However, I am only going as far as Minden on Sunday evening August 7. If anyone needs a one-way ride, send me a note at thunderbird@hsrsa.ca.
