Author & Local Historian

Baddeck & Area

As an Interpretive Guide at the Bell Museum over the course of 20 seasons I delivered hundreds of presentations on Alexander Graham Bell, his wife Mabel and their lives here in Baddeck. With Historic Baddeck  I was able to research & write about the Bells -  sharing lesser-known stories of their life here on Cape Breton, and recount the lives of others, who also lived here - like Arctic explorer George Rice and his love, Maud Dunlop. My most recent research has taken me deep into the American Revolution, the fight for a nation that brought Baddeck's earliest settler here in search of peace.
