Charlie Robertson, owner of the once-famous rock shop on Manitoulin Island. I appreciate the example you have been of choosing joy in spite of great loss.
Mamie (Coriell) Robertson, my transplanted cousin, who followed her heart to Manitoulin Island to be with Charlie. Thank you for telling us about the island so many years ago.
Wanda Whittington, Charlie’s granddaughter. Thank you for patiently sharing your knowledge of your beloved Manitoulin Island with me and for your amazing hospitality.
My family, for taking the time to help me explore and research the island. The depth of your continued support and encouragement continues to astonish and humble me.
My church who so lovingly took care of me and my family during my husband’s final illness last year.
