A Brush with Local History

Adding to my summer collection at Elk Village Restaurant at Jasper House Bungalows 4.5 km south of Jasper on the scenic Icefields Parkway. Established in 1956, on a picturesque property overlooking the Athabasca River, the original 28 units were built by Austrian John Woldrich with the help of several young Italian immigrants, one of whom, John Forabsco Sr., is undeniably a Jasper legend. I am grateful to the staff and management of Elk Village to be able to show in their dining room, an official external display venue of the Jasper Artists Guild .
