I just think that in our material consciousness, that our lives of  existence have been made so easy by technology, that our human struggle to do the right thing is shutting down.

Here is a comment we received from a loyal reader.
I can relate to the stories, too. Laura looked at the beechwood bush as hers. My mother was the same with her rose bushes. But when she sold her house, the first thing the new owners did was pluck the bushes. I never understood that.
I look forward every week to putting together the photo page, and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
Talk soon.
Maria

I’ve been reading your stories since they first appeared in Community Voices.  Am I ever glad that you joined this team of story tellers. Now I see that we have the good fortune to have your stories appear in the Sat. edition of the Nugget. You’ve had some very interesting things happen to you throughout your life. Thank you for sharing them with us. You fill the shoes of Mr. Hakala very well as I had read his stories for a few years but never took the opportunity to thank him. I just read your story about Grey Wolf and his bear friend, “awesome”, to say the least. Please keep up the good work.
I am fairly familiar with your neck of the woods as I have done some work in Port Lorring. My wife and I reside on the outskirts of Mattawa, Papineau Twp.
Have a good day sir.
Sincerely Bart

I never miss your column in the North Bay Nugget or
 Community Voice.
I Love it. Reminds me of my Grandfather
 A gentle hard working orderly person who never
 wasted a thing in his
 life and could make me a whistle or a toy or a very useful
 item out of  something he knew the exact where-abouts-of.
 He went overseas during
 World War I, and the only stories I remember him telling
 were in relation to the kindly and appreciative people
 he met and the countryside.
 He raised a wonderful family of 5 after his wife died
 in child-birth.
 Mom was the oldest and had to quit school at the age of 13
 to stay home with her siblings. You are so right.
 It WAS a hard life, but those people will never be forgotten.
Thanks for keeping their memories alive.  Elva
