Hi Sherry,
We all appreciate the tough times that you and your mom, and family are going thru.
The loss of Albert is a huge and terribly saddening one to many, including those of us who knew him in N.E.Alberta.
In Honor of Albert's dedication and contributions to safe snowmobile trails in the region, some of us are considering sledding (conditions permitting) to his Life's Celebration. The freshly groomed IronHorse Trail trakes us up to Warspite or Waskatenau. Getting to the N.Sask River shouldn't be very hard from either Town, and the River Running looks very good right now.
So the question is, could a River Rat and/or Snow Angel or two help to guide us safely in from near Ft. Sask. to the hall Celebration.
We are planning to close our store down early at noon on Saturday, April4 and make this special ride in honor of Albert's memory and his work with the ASA and area clubs.
I hope this might be okay with you all.
Jerry
