The Park committee members and I also worked with Caley Moore Senior Editor of the magazine's Editorial staff. Our sincere thanks to The Observer for telling Rev. Oake's fundraising story and to Caley for the PDF copy of the article.
Rev. Oake tandem skydived Saturday June 21 2014 at the Atlantic School of Skydiving in Cambridge NS in the Annapolis Valley as a fundraising event for the Gander Heritage Memorial Park project! He is the Patron of the Park, a retired United Church minister and a WW2 veteran ... he and his wife Myrtle reside in Gander.
