The Nepal Earthquake

Sad news for St. Albert's:

Bruce and Kathy Macmillan's family says both dead in Nepal earthquake

The family of a St. Albert, Alta., couple missing since last Saturday in Nepal believes Bruce and Kathy Macmillan died in the devastating earthquake, but authorities have yet to confirm the deaths.

"It is with our deepest regret and sorrow that we now advise you that our sister Kathy Macmillian (Smith) and our brother Bruce Macmillan have both perished in the Napalese earthquake," the family said in a post to the Find Bruce and Kathy Macmillan Facebook page.

...the Macmillans were last seen hiking near the village of Chyamki in the Langtang Valley, an area buried in the avalanche.

They had made the decision to take the hiking trip at the last minute, having hiked along that path shortly after they were married 35 years ago.

"Kathy and Bruce passed away while travelling the world, their passion from the moment they were married,"
