Fenelon Falls may be a small town, but it has many big hearts.

Maryboro Lodge Personality: Lorne Thurston
From the time he was a boy, Lorne was very interested in bees, and persuaded his parents to help him get his own hive when he was 8 or 9 years old.

At 2,2 he fell ill with Polio and would never be as strong again—he could no longer lift his arm over his shoulder.
