Jack and Heather: Very in depth site Troy and Crystal. I was very surprised much to my delight. I don't believe I have ever seen a web site for a town with so much info. It would actually take days to go from one end of this site to the other. Once again well done. I am def putting this on my favourite list....
Steve: By the way, you might like to add one more thing to your web site now that RSS and syndication is becoming a very popular way to keep track of lots of site you like. I already put this on the DARDPI site and use it myself now to pick up when new stuff is added. See if you like it to: http://www.addthis.com/?utm_source=hm&utm_medium=img&utm_content=ATLogo_orig&utm_campaign=AT_main
Steve: Hi Troy. Got a hit on your site searching for Kipawo stuff. WOuld love it if we could use the clippings and timetable you scanned on our site all about the DAR. We already have a web page for her where I'd like to add the stuff. Can you write me at dardpi at dardpi. ca. Here's the link to our Kipawo page:http://www.dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=MV_Kipawo
Ed: I live in Massachusetts and am planning a trip to Parrsboro. Friend of mine recommended I visit your site. Sure glad he did, great site. I will be back to checkout more pages
Troy & Crystal M.: Thank You Don, For all the info and especially the new pic of the Prince
Troy & Crystal M.: Thank You for the kind messages Elsie.. Always appreciated... Please Take Care
Elsie LeBlanc: This is an amazing website, the people of Parrsboro must really appreciate what you have done to promote the town. It really makes one feel lonesome for yesteryear. Thank you so much for this.
Don Lowe: PS - Found a better picture of The Prince for you - http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/wrecks/tours/Tour-3-1.asp
Don Lowe: Hi Troy - I tried a message to your email address a couple of weeks ago but don't know if you received it. Cousins Linda, Bill Hickok, and a couple more all had a meet in Florida last week. I'm still poking away at transcribing Memories of the Minas Prince - have you got a copy of that?
W. A. Lowe Hickok: billhickokdesigns@hotmail.com my grandfather and Wallace were brothers William Francis lowe Smith
W. A. Lowe Hickok: William Francis Lowe Smith is my grandfather
Troy: Hi Don - You can e-mail me at troymelanson2001@yahoo.ca Very glad you found my site and found another relative.. Small World it is that we all live in.. Look forward to hearing from you... :-)
Crystal: Hi, Don - Troy is the Great Grandson of Captain Wallace Smith.. Just wanted to let you know we received your e-mail too... Troy will get back to you when he can.. As this is a busy time of the year for us.
Don Lowe: Hi Crystal - If you are a great-granddaughter of Captain Wallace Smith we are cousins. I'm trying to find a way to contact anyone in the family there, had contact with Sue-Ellyn Carter 4 years ago but lost her somehow. Please email me at dwlowe@telusplanet.net
Karine McGregor: Troy, you and Crystal are doing an awesome job here. I am glad that I introduced myself to you last night (Nov.21) It is nice to put a person to the pages,so to speak. Keep up the good work!
Lora from Alberta: Thank You for this site. It makes me feel like i havent left home. Please keep up what you are doing as the towns website does nothing and yours makes me want to move back home. I think you are such a asset to Parrsboro and they need to know that. See you soon as I plan on bringing the family home this December.
Debbie McCormack: I would like to thank you Troy & Crystal for the work you do on this Site and in general for promoting Parrsboro. The news, videos, the history............all mean a lot to those of us living away from the maritimes " to still be able to keep in touch with our roots".....- you two truly are "treasures".
June Dembenski: Very glad I found this site, I Was from Parrsboro but have been away for many years, this way I can keep up with the news and things going on. maybe some friends still live there, I would enjoy hearing from.

Crystal Hoeg: Troy and Crystal... This site is awesome. Thank you for all your hard work you put into it. It is appriciated.
Gale Best: We need jobs . With jobs people will come back to Parrsboro. Bring in a recreation center, Swimming pool. With a swimming pool everyone could use it. It is wonderful for arthritis and has a lot of other health benifits. But of course we seem to be away behind other towns for some reason. I think it would be a great idea to have our council join this site. That way they will see what we want and need.
Billy: You guys are the best!!!!
Mary MacDougall: Really enjoyed your Pictures & Videos, I love taking pictures & videos of animals. I spent a week in Parrsboro in February, my first time there, realy like it, my son and his fiance moved back there, she is from there. On our wy to Truro when I was coming home we saw over 30 deer in a feild, I got some pictures of them.
Evelyn Coleson: Hi,My name is Evelyn Coleson and I live in Parrsboro. I have just visited your website because I will need your service shortly to go to Amherst, however, I wanted to acknowledge what an excellent effort you have put into your website.It has a much better representation of Parrsboro than does the town's own website. I am relatively new in town and your website has more information on this town than any other I have visited, even the Provincial web site.Keep up the good work. I very much enjoyed visiting the site and you did have all of the information that I needed for now.Thank you.Evelyn.

Stephanie Forrest: Troy, Boy I have had a long walk down memory lane with your website. I can't express how much I remember and how much I enjoyed viewing the pixs on your site. Seeing many many stomping ground areas flooded me with memories. I remembered that my Nanny (grandmother) was friends with your mom and grandmother. My grandmother and grandfather lived atop Whitehall hill over looking the ocean. He was a sea Captian as well. Much history there, anyway. Thanks so much as I miss Parrsboro every day (with the exception of the cold). Debbi McDonald Troke from Pinky Creek Road commented on your site. Pass along that I grew up in the little cottage on the bend half way down the road. It was cool to read about someone who loves that place that I played as a child/teenager. Thanks Troy & Crystal!!!! That was priceless! Stephanie
Debbi McDonald Troke: All your ideas are great Troy. I would like to see the area over by the wharf developed for tourism, kayaking, boardwalk, vendors....I'm sure others would have great ideas. Parrsboro is a wonderful spot I drive 2 1/2 hours one way almost every weekend from March to Nov to get there. I use the business in Parrsboro and would love to see more people coming in, staying and supporting the community.
Christena Redmond: Love your site & Your Parrsboro's Very Own Speakers corner site on Facebook.com. Good way to keep up on things and Awsome way to advertize. I think you are actually making ppl think and realize that we are pretty lucky to live in the place we do. We could have things much worse. Keep up the good work. I visit it every day. O and we don't get out much , but i think we are due soon LOL
