A few years after this meeting, I remember he and the park superintendent made a presentation at Canoecopia, which I attended.  I've often wondered how he might have felt about revealing all the virtues of the place he calls home to a bunch of strangers. I'll have to apologize for not remembering his name (dang!). dd DD, Doug Gilmore? Jimbo  8-)

Jim -

No, I did remember that Doug was the park super at the time.  I just was uncertain about our First Nation driver's name on our 2009 trip.  I was sitting in the back seat of the pickup that returned us to Red Lake, along with MP.  I was thinking you were sitting in the front seat.
