~"This is Avonlea... at least it's the Avonlea I know, with all it's many inhabitants of whom I am proud to say I am one. We are proud and God fearing, too, I believe good fortune has shown us, making this island our very happy home.
And you can be sure that life here isn't all work and no play. Avonlea
likes it's drama, and we do it with plenty of zip and enthusiasm.... I'd
like to think of us as one large family, and like true family members,
well we don't always get along. We're not perfect, no, but we do
care a great deal for one another. And one day when we grow old and
bid adieu to this fair earth,
there will be others who will take our place and feel as passionately
about Avonlea as we do. Why, someday, the images you see will be
all that's left of out town we love so dearly. A thousand years from
now, I suppose, there will be little left to tell of our simple existence,
But then perhaps these moving pictures will speak to those who come after
of how we P.E. Islanders grew-up, lived, married, and died, here at the
beginning of the twentieth century.
So, when you look around you, the haunted hills, the homestead lights, or the fields tilled by the dead and gone who loved them, you'll say, "Why I've come home, to this life." Why were lucky enough to live each moment of every day in which, Jasper Dale, has been fortuitist and ingenious enough to capture, so that we and future generations might know it." Road to Avonlea
