Ginger Goodwin's headstone at the Cumberland Cemetery has received a facelift. Unauthorized alterations and vandalism have been corrected, as has the date of Goodwin's death. It will be another 6-8 months before the cleaning process is complete.
We expect the sandstone will look like new again. 1/2

Took a moment to pause after visiting Ginger Goodwin’s grave in Cumberland and being interviewed about him at the archives. As I head further north, the remoteness deepens and so does the peace. Just how I like it. #GingerGoodwin #VancouverIsland
