In these photos are Brianna Blake and Madison Baker of Twillingate. A community competition was held in the schools in this district and these young ladies decided to do their Project about Sgt. Gander. They did a lot of research and interviewed Eileen Elms of Gander and got photos of Eileen and Gander in the early days, which they used in their project. As well they even had a real Newfoundland Dog on hand for the presentation. Well, Brianna and Madison won first place in their class and decided to donate their winnings to the Gander Heritage Memorial Park to go towards the monument of Sgt. Gander. That was certainly a wonderful gesture and we thank them so much. We certainly hope they can be present for the unveiling on July 23rd 2015, and we hope many of you can also attend.
