Bird was one of the first people I met on Parry Island, as he was also part of the Frontiers Foundation (Operation Beaver) that brought me to the Island. As Bird lived across the street from Gran’s, I remember many nights of 6 o’clock movies at her place & playing cards. Also recall all the baseball & hockey games! Most memorable was all the laughter and practical jokes!?
-Johanna Scholten (Joyce Tabobondung)
