THE COLLECTION by Sally West Goddard: Recent Episodes
Fiona West
These stories have been told around our dinner table for as long as I can remember.
The Collection refers to the artifacts my husband and I have collected. We lived in Papua New Guinea for 10 years. When we returned to Canada, we lived up north in isolated, fly-in communities for almost 10 years. Then we moved to southern Canada. Each place had different artifacts and stories. All stories are Sally's interpretation of events. Tim may have a different take on what really happened.
Enjoy!
Let me introduce Marilyn, my one person audience who listens and occasionally chimes in as I tell my stories. The main story today is about our move to Pangnirtung, Nunavut.
Black Lake was our first Canadian experience. It is north east of Lake Athabaska, about 50 km south of the Northwest Territories
Stories about shells. Some are similar to stories you have heard in previous episodes, but they just get better when retold.
The Collection by Sally West Goddard is a series of stories based on artifacts Sally and her husband Tim collected as they have lived, worked, traveled, and raised a family from the jungles of Papua New Guinea, to remote fly-in communities in Canada's Arctic, to the foothills of the Rockies and finally to the eastern shoreline. The artifact for episode 1 is a wooden snake. This snake becomes the catalyst for a number of entertaining stories. Enjoy the inaugural episode.
