New Members
Dear Canada Creek Ranch:
The Prystash family includes Greg and Denise along with
Denise’s daughter and Greg’s two sons from a previous
marriage. Our adult children now reside on their own.
We live in Clinton Township, Michigan and have been
married for seven years. Greg is currently employed as
an Advanced Designer at General Motors, and has
worked in the automotive industry for over 40 years.
Denise is retired from the State of Michigan where she
worked for the Michigan Department of Corrections as
a secretary for 36 years. She is now employed part-time
as a caregiver to her autistic niece which can be
challenging but rewarding.
Denise’s family have been members of Canada Creek
Ranch since 1971. Her father, Richard LaMeau, purchased
a membership after being introduced to the Ranch by
his sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Lewis Shedden.
Denise has many family members who enjoy spending
time at Canada Creek and are looking forward to adding
us to the list of relatives to visit with during their time at
the Ranch.
New members, Greg and Denise Prystash.
In the past, Greg belonged to NCYC (North Channel
Yacht Club) and being a lifelong boater, enjoyed spending
time on Lake St. Clair. After selling our boat last year, we
were looking for a way to spend time in the outdoors but
without all the maintenance and upkeep of a boat.
Camping seemed to be the next step to achieve that goal.
We hope to spend time in the campground with our
recently purchased travel trailer as well as using the
beautiful facilities the Ranch House has to offer. We are
so looking forward to being be a part of the Canada Creek
Ranch community and meeting new friends along the
way.
Greg was introduced to CCR from a friend at work who
is still a CCR member and went snowmobiling on the
many trails throughout the grounds and connecting state
trails. One fond memory during the winter was watching
a deer walking across the frozen lake while eating
breakfast in the club house restaurant.
Greg’s family also enjoyed going up north and in fact,
built a house on Hubbard Lake in the 1960’s. His mother
and brothers currently reside on Hubbard Lake. We plan
to do a lot of day trips from Canada Creek Ranch to visit
them as it is only an hour away.
Yours truly,
Greg and Denise Prystash
Canada Creek Members,
My wife Cindy and I are very happy to finally become
true members after many years visiting the Ranch as
family guests. I first visited CCR in the early 70’s when
my older brother Dick Glenn, Valley Camp Trail
became a member and started to build his cabin. My
Mother and Father, Doug and Jean Stiff, Collins Trail
became members somewhere in the early 90’s.
At that time, we started bringing my family up to visit
and they, just like Cindy and I learned to love it here.
Our young Grandchildren are the newest “Guests”
to come to CCR and I know they will fall in love as
well.
We know very many of you already and are looking
forward to meeting many more of you in the years to
come.
New members, the Stiff family.
