| Eddie
could hardly wait to finish school and work with his father full-time
at Broadleaf. He loved the work and farmed the land for 15 years as well
as trucking lumber. It was while he was hauling logs to T.P. Downey Lumber
in Hillsborough, that he met Donna, the secretary there, who was to become
his wife.
Donna and Eddie have 4 children: Stephen, Susan, Stacey and Shelly. Stephen is married to Terri and they have 1 daughter as well as Terri's daughter Robin. Susan is very involved with the riding and training program at Broadleaf. Susan & Fabian have 1 son. Stacey is married to Eric a lobster fisherman. They have 2 children and a home that is a favourite destination for a lobster feast! Shelly is married to Timmy and they have 2 children. Shelly manages the Esthetician Services for the very successful Broadleaf 'Pamper Experiences'. As the farming at Broadleaf made way for the development in tourism, Eddie concentrated on the trucking. He is now in partnership with his son Stephen as E & S Hudson Trucking. They have three trucks. Donna worked in the business as the bookkeeper and assisted with the food service for many years. Donna currently works off the farm however remains actively involved on the Board of Directors for Broadleaf. |
