The family then moved to the HBM&S hydro-electric power plant facility in Island Falls, Saskatchewan when Greg was in grade four. Greg's early years were spent Pickerel fishing with Wayne in the tailrace of the power plant. The fishing was fantastic and it was only about a 1/3 mile walk home. There were many happy and memorable fishing and hunting trips together with their dog Skipper, all within a few miles from Island Falls. Greg was a natural born woods man even at a very young age. He moved to Fort Nelson, BC in the early sixties where he had bought a service station. Greg met his friend Mark at the Wild Duck Inn in 1979, they had to get to a crew boat to go to a logging camp at Pitt Lake for BCFP. They worked together there for about four years. Greg had met Jill in 1987 through Mark and his wife Ginny at their home in Mission, BC. The day they had met it was love at first sight.
