In 1984 many Saskatchewan towns hosted 'homecoming' celebrations and produced community history books. Gray collaborated with Bechard, Estlin and Riceton. Pioneering stories and descriptions of the first 75 years of our communities were included with the family histories provided. In 2005 Gray, Bechard, Estlin and Riceton chose to produce an update (as well as a DVD).
