The Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society was very sadden to lose one of its founding members on Friday, January 17, 2025, Vernon Petten age 90.
On behalf of the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society we would like to extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of the late Vernon Petten 1935-2025.
To Shirley, Ross, Iris, Ina, Ivy, Laverna, Blair their families, and to all of Vern’s extended family and friends please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Vern was a member of the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society since the very beginning back in the 90’s and have been a dedicated member right up to the time of his passing. Not only with the Heritage but with the Fishermen’s Museum. His love for the peninsula and his volunteer work will be missed. He was always there to lend an hand, his truck, his tools, his financial support whatever you needed and he had it we got it!
He will be missed around the table when we have our meetings or just to meet for a lunch. When we meet again, he will be fondly remember and there will be many conversations of Vern and how much he will be missed.
He dedicated his life to helping others and will be sadly missed.
To his family and friends, treasure all your memories!
God Bless you Vern you are a treasure……

To say that I am proud is an understatement! Almost three years ago in January, I happened to make a post on Facebook, that it was the first time in 30 plus years that I never had a job to go to. Within one hour I received an email from Roland Andrews asking me if I would be interested in putting together a book, stories of our heritage! I never dreamed that I would be responsible for putting a book together!
I didn’t hesitate, I said yes! I made the plea on Facebook and received a number of stories from residents and former residents. And like I said at the beginning I am very proud to share with you that the book has been released!
When I made the appeal I stated that it would a book about “Our Stories Our Heritage” and that is the title. I want to thank Roland and the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society for putting their faith in me to compile these stories.
A very special thank you to everyone who submitted their stories and also a very special thank to Sam and Pearl Dawe for donating Pearl’s collection of scrapbooks, 24 in total. These scrapbooks provided some very interesting stories.
Thank you to those who were involved with the editing!

There are stories of survival, tributes, precious memories, poems, etc. The book sells for $25, if you are interested please contact me at 709-680-1231 or any member of the Board of Directors and they will make arrangements for you to receive your copy.
