The Collectors

More catching up with people from the past: Terry and Aggie have stayed in the north all these years. They left the CBC in '82, pursuing independent careers--Terry as a shooter; Aggie as a consultant. But it is their lifestyle that's intriguing. They have a team of sled dogs and spent a year living in the bush. Aggie and I flew to B.C. together when I lived in Yk to buy a car and then drove it to Edmonton where she bought a canoe. It's thanks to her that I got in some canoeing and natural experiences outside of the bars. Terry is quite the collector. This is his collection of wood stove doors, which are nailed to the side of the house.

Terry also has an amazing collection of walking sticks. The one in this photo is also a flute. He has one with an umbrella that pops out of the end and another one that extends into a fishing rod.
I never knew walking sticks could be so multi-purpose. Another entire wall in their house has more of these walking sticks, which Terry started to collect at age 16.
