Pam and Alan built a life in Winnipeg and had two sons Steven Arthur and Ian Victor. In 1990 Pam and Alan moved out to Summerland to enjoy their retirement. Pam and Alan made many new friends in Summerland but none were more important to Pam than her friends at the Quilting club and the Garden club.
