2002
ROBERT J. BOYER AWARD
This
year, Barbara Paterson has been selected as a worthy recipient for
her lifelong contributions to the community. She has done much to
preserve our history, authoring, engineering and researching many
books that document the history of our communities. Barbara was
a founding member of the Muskoka Genealogy Group and has been involved
for more than ten years with the Muskoka Pioneer Village in Huntsville.
In addition, Barbara has worked with the Muskoka Heritage Foundation
for several years on the Muskoka Archives project.
Ms. Paterson's
name will be inscribed on a statue created by Brenda Wainman-Goulet
for the Foundation. The statue includes replicas of the old Muskoka
Herald building, a bell tower and an old style house - all of which
reference Muskoka history. It will be presented by last year's award
recipient, Maureen Hunt.
