Eldon has been a long time friend and an inspiration to anybody that has had an encounter with him personally. I visit Eldon several times a year and it has always been an enlightening experience of hearing the local stories of by gone days. His discoveries and explorations of the Minas Basin has inspired me to photograph almost every nook and cranny of the Basin.
My fondest memory and highlight of my photographic accomplishments was when Eldon invited me to do a slide show presentation of my Bay of Fundy/Minas Basin images during a celebration of Eldon’s and Elaine’s 50th Anniversary of being in business in Parrsboro with their Rock and Mineral Shop. There were 475 people attending this event. He is now closing this business after 64 years.
