Comment on Return to the Powell Homestead on Saganagons Lake by Carey Pallister

Mr. Nelson – It has taken my husband and I twenty years to find the name of his grandmother – We found it last year. Her name was Esther Marie Powell – it took me another year to find some thing about her and her family and I found it this evening in this wonderful article you have written about the Powell family. My husband remembers his grandmother as “a lovley lady” but has not had any contact with that side of the family since he was 5 years old. Thank you so much.

I am so very proud that Quetico has recognize this precious woman who we love and adore in Sharbot Lake. Shirley has been the driving force to gather local history, stories from our seniors and artifacts that would have been lost if not for her. Sharbot Lake has been her home and we shared her with the Park and experinced all the same dedication and effort at home as you did at work. We love her very much!!

She is very deserving of this high honour of the Order of Ontario, truly a giving humble “great” woman.

James
More photos will help make it a better article and I will add a few more to the article. My book has a chapter on the pines on McNiece and that has more photos in it and has more info on the pines as well.
