Because this party for Andy James' 60th birthday (held at the Kananaskis Lodge) was a surprise, I haven't been telling many of you about my plans to fly out there. Andy first saw me as he sat in the Kananaskis hot tub. We hugged bare-chested. His sister from England and brother from Toronto came, as well as a few others from Dorion/Thunder Bay and other family members. (Andy was director of Dorion Bible Camp in the 70's and 80's.)
He was most overcome with emotion however when the Birkes arrived. They were a young missionary couple at North Spirit Lake for 3 months in the 60's while Andy ran the store there. They patiently (except for one slammed door, I hear) put up with Andy's mockery, questions and appetite and "are responsible" (says Andy, Total Sovereignty notwithstanding) for his conversion to Christ. When Andy recognized them, the water level rose in the hot tub.
(No, he did not pee his pants.)
I also managed to visit with two McMillan families.
