I am wondering if you did received the pictures I sent you by e-mail today. Those are pictures of the Knights brothers. Thanks again for letting me download your pictures of Lac Pemichangan. Buy the way, the "Big Island" has been named "Ile Chantigny"(Chantigny Island) in honor of the family that has been living for years on that island. One member of the Chantigny family still lives there on his ancestors' farm.

Aaron's shed and garage still standing
Hi Randy, Vivian:
I think Aaron (and his brother CJ) would be pleased to note that Pierre and Lisa Isabelle, who bought his grandfather's place, have invested money and TLC into restoring the old log ice shed and car shed built by his grandfather. The cottage was a classic, but nature was reclaiming it.
Wanda's cottage (across from Trepanier's) has been nicely taken care of and is a great example of classic early cottage!
Pemichangan is a great place - let's keep it that way!

Hello, Randy. I know your family but I think you know my sister Betsy much better than you do me. I have been to the lake all but 2 summers of my life. I am heading there again in a couple of days and my wife thought of doing a search and found your site. I really can not describe how much I enjoyed the pictures that you posted here. I knew quite a few of the people that are in them including the McPherson's, Westfall's, Knight's, Lamborn's, and Fraser's. I also knew Aaron (who left a note here earlier) and his mother and grandparents. The Bingman's used to rent from Berman next to our place before they bought the cottage that they had next to the Isabelle's. Cal (and others including Berman, Arthur, & Jock Knight, Skip Humphrey, and me for that matter) worked with my dad to build our place.
On a current note, there was a big storm at the lake a few days ago that brought down many trees and caused a fair amount of damage all over the area. Power has been out for days and no one can say...

I have a number of pictures from the 60's and 70's if you might be interested in expanding your gallery. You can E-mail me at goldsberry7@sbcglobal.net.

I really aappreciate looking at these pictures because I consider this area as one of the most beautiful in the utaouais region.
It was a pleasure to see the pictures of my Great Grandfather Joe.

I am the grandson of Bermain Knight, son of Old Joe and brother of Fred, Jock, Arthur, René and Lucien. Unfortunatly there are no pictures of him but I would like to tell you that I am very happy that I found these pictures in your gallery. I downloaded them( I hope it's ok for you) and showed them to my mother and they put tears in her eyes. Actually, she is the little girl standing in the middle and not dressed like the others on the picture taken during the visit of the archbishop in 1950. A lot of the pictures are of the Martins' family and I would like to know in what way you are related to them. And answer from you would be very kind because it would help me complete the puzzle of the story regarding these pictures. You can answer me through this site or by e-mail. s.b.venagan@videotron.ca.
Thank you
Bruno.

Hi Bruno,
I'm thrilled that you were able to share these photos with your mother. There is now an album caption at the top of the thumbnail pages that explains our connection to the lake and people of Pemichangan. My parents, Don and Nancy (Martin) Black, still drive up from Virginia every year and stay in the cottage built by my grandfather Wilbur. I spent every summer of my childhood on the lake and my wife Vivian and I still manage to visit from San Diego once a year. I have many friends from childhood on that side of the lake with a similar story, and who remain in love with the lake.
Cheers,
Randy Black
