Captured spirit of our heritage Dear Editor: DESTINATION: STE-MARIE was an ex- perience I will treasure for my entire life. Out of all the fantastic and moving events which occurred throughout the 40-day expedition, none could match the feeling I had paddling down the Wye River on July 10, 1982. I would like to personally thank the people .of Midland, the staff of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and especially people like Ernie and Pat Cowden from Perrin's Flower Shop who went out of their way to bring it to life. We all captured the spirit of oun heritage. Thank you. Sincerely, --Robert LeCog (Bill Byrick) Music in the air, Aug. 8 Admission to the event is free.
