LAC DES ILES
FOREWORD
Over the past seven or eight years many Lac des Ilers have pointedly expressed to me the wish that someone would write a short history of our Lac Community. With the passing of Mr. Kenneth Ross and my sister, Mrs. Alice Young, I am now the last survivor of the first generation of youngsters of the two families, who, back in the eighteen-eighties, founded the Lac des Iles Community. My sister Alice, who lived in British Columbia for the past forty years or more, was seven years old when it all started and I was not thought of until nine years later.
I have hoped that someone, with the ability to write beautifully descriptive word pictures, would take this task in hand and re-create the very close to the heart feelings which have grown up for our Lac over the years.I do not apologize for the shortcomings of my story. I have written it mostly for those who rightfully, or just by loose adoption, call me ‘Uncle Don” in the hope that it may help, in some small way, to preserve the Christian ideals that have made our Lac something very special in the lives of those who have enjoyed its beauty for the past Seventy-nine years.
