Margaret Laking

I’m a McAdam native, the granddaughter of Margaret Blair (Taylor) Fowler and step granddaughter of Jim Fowler. My grandmother and I moved to St. Andrews after Jim’s passing as she needed a job to support us. We later moved to Toronto, where my grandmother’s oldest daughter and her family lived. I stayed for 30 years. When my husband’s retirement fast approaching, “home” started calling, so we returned. I was lucky enough to write and take pictures for three newspapers, found and chair Wauklehegan Writers Group for 10 years, and become a licensed lay minister. (I had wanted to be a minister since I was 13). I’ve been a Lion for 21 years and this will be my first year as King Lion.
