Today we enjoyed an area road-trip that included: a stop in Black Cape where Uncle Gerald Dow (Barb’s cousin) who is a 97 year old WW2 veteran. He was delighted to meet relatives from “out west”. He and his late wife, Jean, had visited Barb & Vern on the farm in Saskatchewan.
Just a little further down the road we stopped to visit Joan Dow (she had been married to Ivan Dow-Clare Dow’s son). They had also been out to Saskatchewan for one of the Dow reunions.
Last stop for the day was to meet Leslie (Uncle Gerald’s son) and Mariette Dow. Leslie is nearing the end of his summer as a salmon conservation office, ensuring the local salmon catch-and-release laws are followed.
Carl & Lois’ home and nearly all of our drive today followed the coastline of the Bay of Chaleur – what a beautiful site to soak in – we understand why Barb Graham was so eager to paint it.
