Welcome to the second Wabun Times Blog posting. I am hoping to regularly post snippets of information that I gain during the upcoming Wabun Reunions, and news from Temagami via Jason and Melanie Ball, the couple from Bear Island who are looking after the camp this winter.
NEWSLETTER
The 2009-2010 Newsletter was recently posted on www.wabun.com. Please take a look at it, and note particularly the listing of the reunions we will be offering this winter. They actually began a couple of weeks ago with one on Pawley’s Island in South Carolina and another in Portland, Maine.
ROB HUFF
We have heard from Rob, who left Wabun for Las Vegas this past September. He is a chef at one of the major resorts in Las Vegas and reports being very, very busy, especially when contrasted with some of those laid-back moments during his four years at Wabun as winter caretaker.
ALUMNI/AE
A wonderful time was enjoyed by all at a November 13 gathering hosted by Mary, Steve, Katherine, and Conor Finnegan.
Also in November, George Chase and John (Tonka) Edmonds reconnected at our home here in New Hampshire for an evening together. George was John’s bowman on a 1970 Wabun B trip, and again on a 1972 Wabun A Bay Trip. George teaches at St. Paul’s School here in NH, and John is back in Northern Quebec, this time in Mistissini where he will serve as a priest in that community. Please see his and Natalie Fortier’s Newsletter articles for information on their recent trip to Moose Factory on James Bay where John served as the community’s priest for six years. We were joined by Bill Monroe (1940s and 1950s staff member) and his wife Debbie who are fellow Hopkinton, NH residents. Their son, John, was also a member of the 1970 B section with John and George, and then the 1973 Eastmain trip.
TEMAGAMI THANKSGIVING FOR THE FOSTERS
Tim Foster (1970s) and his son, Evan (recent camper) enjoyed another fabulous Canadian Thanksgiving at Wabun. Some combination of Foster family and friends has made this trek annually for almost ten years – if you ever get the chance, it is a most beautiful lakescape at that time of year.
If you would like to be notified of future postings, please send me an email and I will keep you informed. Also, if you have information you think friends of Wabun would like to see included, please send that along to me via rpl@wabun.com
