Oscar Albert listening to a taped interview of historic trader, John Hajdukovich, & looking at his photos, 1998. Ferguson photo.
I have the greatest respect and appreciation for Oscar Albert. It was a privilege to interview him. (He will be in my new book, Windows to the Land.) He was well loved by the Dean Wilson family. He lived a long and very productive life; he missed the best of the old days. My thanks and support to the family and to those in Northway.
