Mrs. Gratton was my Girl Guide and Ranger leader. She was such an amazing leader and mentor. She bravely took a bunch of us 16 year olds to Europe for a month and what an amazing time we had!!! I also fondly (?) remember winter camping on her property and canoe trips to George Lake. She really made a great impression on me growing up and I thank her for that. She was a fabulous and very dedicated volunteer to the Guiding organization!!! - Posted by: Myrna Corbett (Friend) on: Jun 29, 2019
