My Redden family connection is through my Grandmother, Mildred Alice (Chase/Barnes) Redden. I spent many a summer camping with "Grammie" and "Grampy", whether at Card Lake or Risser's Beach (long before it was a provincial park). I even remember a trip to my grandfather's place near Oxford where we camped and fished on the River Phillip. Brook trout fishing trips with my grandmother to the little mountain brook off the old Windsor/Chester Road near the hydro dam used to be a special summer treat.
My grandmother survived two husbands, Lloyd, who passed away in 1977 and Reigh Barnes of Windsor, who passed away in 1993 before she passed away this May, in her 90th year, just 2 weeks shy of her 11 June birthday and a month before she was to see her second grandson (me) married.
