Story takes me back 

    While doing a search on Riding Mountain National Park, and my father Bud Armstrong, I came across the story: Law enforcement: Not for the meek, which appeared in the Spring 2002 edition of the Alberta Game Warden, online at: http://www.gamewarden.ab.ca/archive/arc h_features_spring02.htm. 

    The Bud Armstrong in that article was my father. It was great to read the story because it brought back many memories of living in the park and the people in the story. My Dad went on to be Chief Park Warden at Elk Island National Park, Riding Mountain, Waterton Lakes and finally retiring out of Jasper National Park in 1973. He passed away in March, 1979. Cpl. Bill Stewart retired from the RCMP, became the accountant for Riding and eventually retired to Victoria, BC, where he passed away in 1978. The Stewarts and my family remained life long friends. 

    Please extend my thanks to Mr. Fetterly for writing this great reminder of growing up in Riding.
