Rustico Historian - Edward Blanchard

Yesterday at the age of 95 Edward Blanchard passed away. He contributed greatly to the small community of South Rustico, and he knew the history.  He was also an active member of St. Augustine's, the oldest church in P.E.I., and the Farmers Bank of Rustico. Judy MacDonald worked alongside Edward Blanchard over the past decades and talked with Karen Mair about his contributions.
