So much time was spent at director meetings on the store, and so little energy on trapping activities and concerns, it was tragic. Sooooo much cigar and cigarette smoke inhaled, even those poor supposed non smokers.

Then along came Gordy Klassen. Next thing you know, willing workers that were also very concerned with the future of trapping in Alberta came along side and turned the association into likely one of the most respectable trappers associations in the world.

So a guy might not like everything that any particular individual is doing, especially those that are leading, and the same will apply to Mr Klassen but I do believe we all owe this man much respect? Do make sure he gets it.

Also, if you don't like what a person is doing, do go and talk to him or her. You may actually resolve something and make the world a better place.
Great post!
