"I said, 'Dad, you talk about this Waskesiu place all the time, you gotta show me it,'" Murray told CBC Radio's Saskatchewan Weekend.

"So I took him up there and he showed me where him and mom used to stay in the tent cabins and the burger joint and ice cream joint that he would take my mom to wine and dine her.
