the adventure books i read i really began to wonder who these people were he said i have known manitoulin for the last 23 years gaida says i used to be a bear hunter iwent back and fell in love the place now he and his wife are recognized wherever they go on the island hes impatient to move there but will wait until the time is right and his future is secure gaida has already had job of fers
