PEOPLE WHO PROVIDED KNOWLEDGE, GUIDANCE & INSPIRATION!
Rodney C. Mackay (My father) wrote the original manuscripts about the Torry family, postcards and their history in Pictou County, and provided photos, historical information, advice, encouragement, lessons on how to plan & build a website (there was lots of parental patience required for that one ... LOL), common sense and much more! It has really been the ongoing flow of information and help from my dad that got this whole project off the ground and made it into a reality! Visit my dad's website at http://rodneymackay.com/homepage.html for an look at the work of this very interesting Canadian artist and writer.
