It was lovely to stumble upon this wonderful podcast! I've yet to discover Pender Island, but it's now high on my list. I knew Brent's family in the 1970s, and it was fantastic to hear some of the old stories. I swam in that pool many times, and lovingly remember his family's ingenuity. I'm not surprised at all to learn that he is now Poppa Pender. Gerry would be proud❤️.
