About the author, Gayle McLauchlan

Gayle McLauchlan is the great-niece of John McLauchlan who opened McLauchlan Park in 1899. Her grandfather was J. K. McLauchlan who owned and managed the Balmy Beach Dance Pavilion and Lodge. The McLauchlans were well known in business in the area. Great-grandfather, James began his confectionery business in Williamsford in 1869, then moved to Owen Sound to join up with Wm. Anderson in the baking business. It then became McLauchlan & Sons Company Ltd. In 1904 he sold to his sons and in 1926 the firm was sold to National Grocers.

"The McLauchlans of Owen Sound" is another book Gayle has done (1991) - mainly for family - but there are copies in the Library, Museum and the Marine & Rail Museum (now Community Waterfront Heritage Centre). She lives in Owen Sound, has a cottage at Balmy Beach, and is mother to two grown children. Craig LaChance, living in Camrose, Alta., and Nanci LaChance Caldwell (Mrs. Jeff Caldwell) of Chatsworth. Other interests are her two grandsons, Austin Caldwell (1996) and Connor Caldwell (1997), golfing, playing cards and Scrabble.
