"Golden Dreams"
The
imagery of my banner depicts a prospector who
sees the quartz vein. He dreams
it will lead to drilling’ then to a mine and finally
to gold products.
The
prospector was a free spirited man travelling
off the beaten path. Most dream of making
the ultimate discovery.
Their grit and determination are the spirit of our north.
Forty years ago
I came sight unseen to this mining area to teach
children whose parents worked in the mines. These mines were found by
the determined, dream-filled prospectors.
