Welcome to Marshall.com, a digital time capsule dedicated to preserving cherished memories through pictures and videos. My goal is to preserve precious moments and memories for future generations, ensuring that our family's history remains accessible to my daughter, niece and nephew.

Photography

Since slowing down a bit after some health issues, I have taken up photography and videoing so I'm going to put my favourites here. Feel free to browse around.

Dad's Scrapbook

Welcome to It's Marshall.com, where we celebrate the incredible journey of Jack McDonald through a cherished scrapbook lovingly started by his mother. For years, this scrapbook has travelled everywhere and resided in our basement, waiting for its story to be told. Dad didn't really talk much about all his experiences, but I finally took the time to explore the pages, and I discovered the remarkable life of my dad, from his roots in small-town Swan River, Manitoba, to our family's move to the West Coast. Feel free to browse through and have a look. So much is about the Canada we should still value.

TALL TITLE

Famous all Indian Hockey Team. The Sioux Lookout Black Hawks.

For the players, hockey was a lifeline that served as a temporary escape from their lives at the institution. During tournaments, the boys had nights away from the school and a break from their tiring physical labour. When playing in other towns, they experienced staying in hotels for the first time and had plenty to eat. The boys got to meet, and learn from, former New York Ranger John “Jack” McDonald, who had moved to Sioux Lookout after his NHL career.
