Tony and I used to make that beautiful drive several times each Summer.
In 2009 we stayed in the excellent Resort Hotel near Gananoque for several nights as a present for his 80th Birthday; the views from the excellent restaurant and gardens were delightful.
We had stayed there a few years earlier when I was still the Chairmen of the Ontario Hospital Auxiliaries "Region 9." At that time I did not know it was the largest of all Regions; no wonder I visited all 28 Hospitals in 3 years; from Chalk River to Hawkesbury, down to Cornwall to Brockville. I met many delightful, hardworking people, some of whom became good friends for many years.
At that time there was only one gentleman on the O.H.A. Board.
Post Scriptum:
A lovely photo, brings back so many memories; I wish I could go there again.
When my Parents came for Daddy's 88th birthday, we took them to Canada Village, then they also came for his 90th, we took them by boat to U.S. side, but of course they could not land "No Visa", however they really enjoyed the crossing and scenery. Ian was 5, Graham was not born until 2 Summers later in Calgary.
