Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 48. From left to right we have Mr. Walker, yours truly, Mrs. Walker and Minnie Hoaglund. This is into '42 I guess or '43 or '44 when I was stationed down at the airport. Mr. Walker had that sawmill whereby he made a living for a number of years. He built that. It was driven by water power.

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 12: Walker's sawmill was famous for several reasons. They homesteaded by a small creek entering the Liard about 30 km above Fort Simpson. The sawmill was driven by a homemade water wheel that was mounted horizontally in the stream as opposed to the usual overshot wheel. A pulley on the top of a vertical shaft rising from the water wheel drove a belt that drove the mill. Mr. Walker was a skilled carpenter and an ingenious person. The water wheel itself was complex with curved wood and metal parts. In order to construct the wheel Mr. Walker built his own wood lathe and a metal lathe to machine the metal parts. The metal used was scrap material that he found around Fort Simpson. He logged nearby spruce, hauled the logs to the mill and sawed them into lumber for Fort Simpson and nearby settlements. Minnie Hoaglund ran the CPA agency at Fort Simpson Airport where Milt Campbell worked at this time.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 07: This series of four photos is of a summer picnic by RC nuns,
some Dene or Metis women, a male boat driver and another male. These appear to be Isidore
Villeneuve photos due to the fall-off in sharpness towards the corners, so he was likely along
also. It appears to be up the Liard River from Fort Simpson.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Mar. 10: Bush clothes were put aside and fashionable clothes came out during summers in Fort Simpson. Here, Lodema George hardly looks liked the lady who shot moose, gutted them and brought them home by herself besides having a trapline of her own. This is one of the few photos of Raymond George. Poole Field was rarely seen without a hat.

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 49. Is a couple of guys having a little bit of fun and clowning around. The water was getting too high to work the Liard River bars so what to do? It was in 1936 and I think the Ethopian War was in progress at the time so Joe Vandaele decided he'd go to war and Stan Turner who acted as Bishop was blessing him and hoping he'd come back safely. I thought that was pretty good. They dressed themselves up in costumes and so on. It helps to pass the time. You're fed up and you're waiting for the water to go down and the mosquitoes are bad and…
