- Notes
- Her family had experienced some difficulties while farming here in the 1920's / 1930s - severe winter weather and wind damage to a new barn and buggy forced a move to Nanaimo, BC but the family kept a summer home at Third Point and Priscilla even attended school here periodically
- After her mother's passing, a sizeable donation was made to H.J. Cody for the Performing Arts Centre at the school and as her dad enjoyed sports, another donation was made for the Field House at Four Seasons Park
- Her dad's sister, Aunt Florence, went to Kuusamo School with Roy Mattson's mother
- Her grandfather was a tailor in Red Deer and her brother was Chief of Police - he formed the first Boy Scout Troop as he had served in the Boer War with Lord Baden-Powell
- Mr. Louquet (Lucky) had the original homestead at the tip of Third Point - Priscilla has the homestead documentation
