Geocache Description:

14 years and counting for sperley and the PBW

We placed this cache near where the PBW and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.

The cache is near a beautiful historic home that was built in 1891 and was home to A.E. Cross and his family.

Cross was born in Montreal and came to Alberta in 1884. The following year he started the A7 Ranche west of Nanton, Alberta.

He founded the Calgary Brewing and Malting Company in 1892, and was president until his death. He served on the North-West Assembly (precursor to the Alberta Legislature) from 1899 to1902. He was a founding member of the Western Stock Growers' Association, Calgary Board of Trade and the Ranchmen's Club (for which he served as president, 1906-1908 and 1911-1912), and was one of the "Big Four" who founded the Calgary Stampede. He was also instrumental in establishing Alberta's petroleum industry. He started Calgary Petroleum Products in 1912, and was a director of Canadian Western Natural Gas. In 1964 A. E. Cross School in Calgary was named in his honour and in 2007 he was inducted into the Calgary Business Hall of Fame. In 1899 he married Helen Rothney Macleod, 1878-1959, daughter of renowned North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) Commissioner James F. Macleod. source

We'll be back for our next anniversary!

Congrats to daedulus for the FTF!
