Rae-Lynne,

Perhaps someone already responded privately to your note? Gord passed away in September 2022.

I see that no one has been able to help you with trying to remember the names of wardens that worked up in the pass in 1971 and 1972. I may be able to help just a little. I worked as a Park Warden at Roger’s Pass in the summer of 1981. At that time John Turnbull was the Chief Park Warden. Park Warden Bill Laurila worked with John out of the office in Revelstoke. Bruce MacKinnon was the Area Manager for Glacier Park. The other full-time wardens in Glacier were Stan Stachera, Phil Hammond, and Gord. I hope at least one of those names is familiar to you.

Boy.. that was an excellent interview Gord.. I remember meeting you when my Dad was the head warden up in the Pass.. Don Beck.. my parents Don and Eleanore were friends with Ned and his wife.. I was a teenager 16 when we were transferred there. I remember the time you all went up to get that poor hiker with his face ripped off. I think he and his wife lived in Salmon Arm for awhile because I’ve seen him..and also her.. I have been trying to remember the names of the other wardens that worked up in the pass in 1971 and 72.. I used to know them all..Do you remember their names? We lived in the apartments with them until we moved over to the A frame house. Well I just wanted to let you know what a great time I had reading your adventures.. Happy Trails to You.. RL
