For the rest of Bayview Herb’s post, click here .

Tomorrow, April 5, marks the Eighty-eighth Birthday of Jim MacDonald . Long considered one of the Patriarchs of Bayview, Jim owns the family business across the bay. MacDonald’s Hudson Bay Resort was established in 1948 by Elvin Collier purchased from War Assets declared surplus after WW11. Alvin and Nina MacDonald bought the small strip of docks in 1951. Jim ran the mail boat from 1953 to 1965, delivering mail to points up the lake that were inaccessible by road. Stops such as Lakeview, a one-time Boom Town, and other smaller stops like Cedar Creek, Cunningham’s Castle, Whiskey Rock, Kilroy, and Cape Horn. The Resorts management was turned over to Jim’s two Sons, Gary and Scott in 1989.

DFO: Please extend the best wishes to the Huckleberries Online gang to Jim and his sons.
