Hi Dale, I was so shocked to hear about Dennis after just seeing and reconnecting with you before Christmas. My heartfelt wishes and sympathy are with you and the family during this difficult time. I’ll always remember the good times we had at Blue Lake and Big Bar, playing cards by the water’s edge, and all the fun times we had curling in Ashcroft. Please keep in touch.
