Hecla Island
- Summer of 73
In the summer of 1973 we
lived on Hecla Island where I was working on a Rural Step Project. I
was one of four recent Education Grads supervising a group of 20 High
School seniors who spent the morning working for the Parks Dept. which
was in the process of converting Hecla Island to a new Provincial Park,
and the afternoons on High School credits.
The "Class" - is it hard to tell
the teachers from the students?
Our residence - a former
hunting lodge - Bev and I have visited several times since - it's
restaurant and lounge in 2020.
Bev and Jonah were there for most
of the summer.
A visiting supervisor.
We worked
hard.
The bus provided daily
transportation to a work site. We tore down
fences,
demolished buildings and worked on clearing the golf course.
And in the afternoon we worked on
school work - with a few breaks for
Phys. Ed.
Bev,
Jonah and I had a room in the
residence.
