More Profiles of Former Bradlo Residents

Many of the children of the first Bradlo Settlers are now retired but a few of the baby boomers are still in the work force and are doing very well.

In this issue we will profile two people, Ernest Stefan Bies a Baby Boomer who is still working and Andrew Tapajna a Bradlo original who is now retired after a brilliant career with an Ontario Community College.

If you know of other such stories please document them and foreword them to us.

In the next issue we would like to feature women.
