Garett Brown:
Welcome to Life North of the 54th. I'm Garett Brown.
Preston Brown:
And I'm Preston Brown. And we're pretty grateful to have you here, joining us on our little show.
Janie Myers:
For Life North of the 54th, my name is Janie Myers.
Jeannie MacKinnon:
Thank you for asking me, and here I am Jeannie MacKinnon.
Jim Brown:
Let Pam introduce herself first.
Pam Brown:
(laughs) I haven't been here as long as Jim's been here.
Ron Brown:
I'm Ronald Brown. I'm Garett and Preston's dad.
Preston Brown:
Today we're welcome to have Jessie Meservy with us.
Jessie Meservy:
Thanks for having me on, guys.
Janie Myers:
I spent 27 years in Northern BC and Alberta, so that's why we're talking about Life North of the 54th.
Garett Brown:
So, Grandma, he did tell me that you had thought about writing a book called Life North of the 54th.
Jeannie MacKinnon:
I started off in Montreal 82 years ago.
Preston Brown:
And I got a question Grandma. What led you and Gerry to move west to Alberta from Montreal?
Pam Brown:
You don't have to go far to see the Northern lights.
Jessie Meservy:
You can have pink and purple and green and they dance and they will dance across the whole sky. It's unreal.
Jim Brown:
The Northern lights were so bright, you could almost see your shadow.
Ron Brown:
Maybe you can tell me some of the stories that I don't know (laughs).
Jim Brown:
It's been a lifetime of meeting people and associating with them and friendships and sacrifices and other things. And it's just like a family. You grow closer the more you work with and sacrifice for each other. And it just becomes a piece of you. And that's what the Peace has become for us.
Preston Brown:
Thank you so much for your time, Grandma.
Janie Myers:
You're welcome. Love you guys.
Jeannie MacKinnon:
Fun seeing you guys. Thanks for thinking of me.
Garett Brown:
No worries. We love you, Grandma.
Garett Brown:
Hopefully we'll see you soon.
Jim Brown:
You bet.
Pam Brown:
Yeah. It'd be great.
Ron Brown:
It's been my pleasure.
Jessie Meservy:
You're welcome.
Garett Brown:
We'll see you around.
Jessie Meservy:
You bet. Have a great night.
