Hi Marg, Bonnie. and Hugh; So sorry to hear of Lew's passing. We first met when he joined Pan American and he was sent out from Calgary to help with a small gas plant problem that we were having in the Drayton Valley area (1967). From there we re-met at a salmon fishing area called Hakai. It seems to me Hugh joined us out there for several summers. I think Lew and I eventually joined the lodge and became members of "The Hakai Land and Sea Society" For many years we met there with a Calgary Group and thoroughly enjoyed our many summer fishing trips. I learned a lot about salmon fishing from Lew and of course I learned a lot about Lew as we both went thru the Prince Albert Collegiate Institute ( Lew a few years ahead of me ). Then we both wound up attending the engineering school at the U.of S., so we had a lot in common and even more having spent some 30-40 years in the Canadian and U.S. oil industry. Lew was a great fishing partner and in the years following, we moved over to the west side of Vancouver Island, to Nootka Wilderness Lodge, where I believe you joined us Marg. and continued to do our annual fishing trip.
It's with great sadness that I noticed Lew's obit. in the paper, as he was a great fishing partner and we landed a great many fish together and always enjoyed our partnership. With Great Sadness. Lindsay Milne
