It was the
first thing Brian wanted to tell Grandpa Hutchison when he returned home. Grandpa
asked him if he liked the floatplane. With a twinkle in his eye, Brian's
enthusiastic response was, "Yes, I did, Grandpa." Grandpa then asked if
he caught any fish (meaning, later in the trip). Without hesitation, he responded,
"How could I, the doors (floatplane doors) were closed?"
Whether it was on the floatplane or just taking a boat ride at night,
Canada provided many quiet opportunities to enjoy our family.

During the week while we were at Cedar Point
Lodge, we had real "quality time" together. We were away from the telephones,
computers, pagers, and other day-to-day distractions. It was a lot of
fun being out on the boat together and just hanging around the beach as
a family. Cedar Point Lodge offered a family-friendly atmosphere that
was very refreshing.

Cedar Point Lodge was founded in 1937. At
that time it was called "Cedar Point Muskie Camp." It consisted of small
cabins with row boats that were used for fishing. In the 1950's, the boats
were rigged with 5 h.p. motors.
