 Gladys Bloomfield's memoir of life on early 20th-century-Savary It's a great read with lots of great images from Savary's early days. There's also very interesting interviews with Jim Spilsbury and Harry Keefer. You can purchase a copy by contacting the Savary Island Heritage Society. "This book is for all those who find Savary irresistible, and it is dedicated to those who have, through many years, helped to make it so. May we be always mindful of our heritage and sincere and successful in our efforts to preserve our precious, natural, "magnetic" island."—Gladys Bloomfield |

I would love to have a copy of Gladys Blomfield's book.
Gladys lived behind and above our cottage on the beach. She allowed me to pick her heavenly sweetpea flowers. My family owned 5 cottages on the front beginning in the 1920s: Mary Walkem (my grandmother who survived the sinking of the Gulf Stream on Dinner Rock), her daughter, my aunt, Sis Baxter, Sis's daughter, my cousin, Sandra Baxter Clarke, my cousins the Byrns and Bicknells, and her son, my father, Dood Walkem. Everything about Savary lives in my very fond memories.
