William Wren Gilgan ~ 070707
On July 7, 1917, John and Margaret Gilgan welcomed their third child, William Wren, in Castor, Alberta. When he wasn't quite a year old, he moved with his family to the Gilgan homestead on Tchesinkut Lake. From that idyllic spot, he was launched into a wonderful life that continues to unfold, much to the delight of his remaining siblings, not to mention his eight children, nineteen grandchildren, and so far, three great-grandchildren.

This year, on 070707, heralded by many as the luckiest day of the century, William W. Gilgan celebrated his 90th birthday, surrounded by family and friends. Please click here to view a brief slideshow of images, some from the family archives, others from the event at Decker Lake.
