Lise Marie-Paul Sigurdson
On April 1, 2003 at the E.
M. Crowe Memorial Hospital in
Eriksdale, MB, Lise Marie-Paul
Sigurdson loving mother,
grandmother, and great-grand-
mother started her joumey to
heaven. She left this world with
her dear friends Isabel Troy and
Linda Fortin at her side with her
loving family in her heart. She
is now reunited with her hus-
band Sigurdur (Sam); her par-
ents, Robert and Marie; her
brothers, John, Etienne and
Pierre Lamblin; and her sister
Gabrielle Unger. Left to moum
are her daughter Marie (Doug);
her grandchildren, Erin (Earl)
and great-grandson Michael;
grandson Kevin (Judi) and her
son Douglas; her grandsons,
Shawn and Jason and their
mother Donna. Lise also leaves
her three sisters, Marcelle
Brook, Rose (Gordon) Perry of
Winnipeg, and Antoinette
Peloquin from BC, and sisters-
in-law, Warda Lamblin and Rita
Lamblin. Lise and Sam were
married July 3, 1942. They
lived on their farm east of
Lundar where Lise raised their
children and worked the farm
while Sam was employed in
Winnipeg. Work on the farm
was hard but help from the fam-
ily and the occasional hired
hand rnade things go a little eas-
ier. Despite the numerous
chores, Lise still found time for
her family and friends. Mom
had numerous friends who
enjoyed playing caids or just
visiting with her. You never left
her home without coffee and
sweets. She also enjoyed cro-
cheting, puzzle books and gar-
dening. Mom’s greatest love
was her grandchildren, and
most recently her great-grand-
son. She called them “her kids,”
and they knew it. A memorial
service was held on Saturday,
April 5th at the Lundar Legion
Hall in Lundar, MB, with Father
Mario ofBciating. Service con-
cluded at the hall with burial to
follow at a later date. A special
thank you to the stafif of the
Lundar Personal Care Home for
the wonderful care Mom
received. Your gentle and kind
care will always be remem-
bered. “Our little lady with the
big heart will be deeply
missed.” In lieu of flowers
donations may be made to the
Lundar Personal Care Horne,
Lundar, MB ROC 1Y0 or to a
charity of your choice.

The report refers to hydro-
gen as “the ultimate fuel for the
future” because it is clean when
produced from hydroelectricity
and does not rely on any for-
eign oil imports. As a result,
hydrogen development lowers
emissions that contribute to cli-
mate change and smog and
enhances energy self-sufficien-
cy. If, for example, all vehicles
in Manitoba were ultimately
converted ,to hydrogen fuel
cells, Manitoba has enough
future hydrogen production
capacity available to be self-
sufBcient for transportation fuel
needs.
One of the projects under-
way is a hydrogen fuel cell
transit bus project. The bus is
expected to be in service by
June 2004. The province also
plans to open a Hydrogen
Research Centre of Excellence
at the AECL Whiteshell labora-
tories in Pinawa, MB.

represented with the most inter-
esting photographs. Some of
the oldest settlements, such as
those in Nova Scotia, Ontario,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, are
still under-represented, as are
the prairie settlements in
Saskatchewan and Alberta, and
some of the early urban settle-
ments such as Vancouver,
Calgary, and Seattle.
