The winning photo was taken in the
summer of 2009 at Thunder Cove. It was 36 years earlier, in
1973 that Wilbert
and Verna had their first family photo taken when their youngest
was a year old
– also taken by Heckberts. "It
was
alot of money at the time, but potatoes were a good price that
spring and we
really wanted a family photo." said Wilbert, "it’s priceless
today."
Wilbert was born in Lauretta, son of
Louis and Annie Jane (Cannon) Jeffery and Verna was born in
Knutsford, daughter
of Roy and Empress (MacNevin) McDowell. Wilbert and Verna were
married in
1961 and raised their seven children on their farm in Alma. All
their
children live on Prince Edward Island: four in West Prince; two
in the
Summerside area and one in Hunter River. Wilbert and Verna have
14
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
