ED STRAUMAN - Dunnottar Ratepayers Association President Ed has a long-time family presence in Dunnottar beginning in 1976 when Ed and his wife Leslee built their cottage in Matlock.  This website was created to help keep Dunnottar as an affordable community for all permanent and seasonal families, to assure fairness to all residents, and to keep elected officials accountable.   "My presence in Matlock spans over 40 years and counting.  Like many others, my wife and I always look forward to opening up our cottage in the spring.  Our children all grew up as cottagers spending every summer at the beach and creating many happy memories. We now have 6 grandchildren who are experiencing the same love of the beach cottage.  We know there are many others in the village who, like us, share the same warm feelings towards their cottages and friends." -   Ed Strauman, President
