Pickersgill, Peter Michael 1927 – 2022
We were sad to learn that another of AWNA’s ‘builders’ passed away at his home in Vulcan on November 14th.
Peter devoted more than 20 years to the service of the association in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, serving as a director of AWNA for ten of those years. He was elected President of AWNA in 1974 and it was during his term of office that the association adopted the blanket classified advertising program that has provided so much financial support over the years.
Peter was Chairman of the 1972 Convention, then later hosted a successful Bing Crosby golf tournament at Vulcan. In 1976 he began several years of service as an Alberta representative on the CCNA Board of Directors, culminating with the Alberta committee hosting the 1986 CCNA Convention in Calgary.
His outgoing personality and good humour helped make all members feel they were an important part of the AWNA family.
