The Opperman Report
OAK ISLAND
An immense treasure
lies buried deep within a tiny island on Canada’s East Coast …
Or so the story goes. For more than two hundred years,
treasure-hunters have come to Oak Island in search of riches and
glory. Fired by the discovery of man-made underground shafts,
tunnels and passageways, men have pitted their own ingenuity, money,
and muscle against the island. But always, the island has sent them
away, empty-handed.
Bob Restall was sure
that he could succeed where others had failed. He moved his wife,
Mildred, their teenage son, Bobby, and their younger son, Ricky, to
Oak Island, where, for nearly six years the family lived a Spartan
life, channeling their energies into a persistent drive to unravel
the mystery of Oak Island and claim the treasure. But, then one
August day, the Restall hunt for buried treasure came to a sudden and
tragic end. Four men lay dead.

Biography
Publications:
Lee
Lamb is the daughter of Mildred and Bob Restall. She authored Oak
Island Obsession: The Restall Story (Dundurn, 2006), to
honour her parents, and to set the record straight about what had
occurred during the Restall hunt for treasure on Oak Island. Lee's
book includes a description of Restall family life before Oak Island,
the realities they encountered in their Oak Island search for
treasure, and events that transpired after the accident. The book
contains letters, journals and essays written by each family member,
as well as numerous original photographs, sketches and maps.
Oak Island
Family: The Restall Hunt for Buried Treasure (Dundurn,
2012), Lee's second book, was written for teens,
young adults, and adults who are unfamiliar with the history of Oak
Island. It guides the reader through the discoveries made on Oak
Island starting in 1795. These discoveries are astounding and have
been seen by treasure-hunters, historians and fans as proofs that an
immense treasure lay within Oak Island. Oak Island Family also
includes a retelling of the Restall family's experiences on the
Island in a shortened version, suitable for teens. This book includes
family anecdotes and around fifty sketches, maps and photos, not
published in “O. I. Obsession”.
Education:
About five years after the accident on Oak Island, Lee was given
the opportunity to attend university. Until then, she had been a
grade ten dropout. At McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario she
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and a Bachelor of
Social Work. Ten years later she added a two-year diploma in Fashion
Arts (Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario). Approximately ten years
after that, Lee earned a Bachelor of Education degree and a Master of
Education at the University of Toronto OISE, Toronto, Ontario.
Learning for its own
sake has become one of Lee’s favorite activities. Acquiring an
education that grants access to rewarding careers has been equally
prized. Education has allowed Lee to spend many years of her life
working with people. She enjoyed years as a hospital social worker
and even more years as a high school teacher, first locally, and then
in northern fly-in Cree communities. She is sincerely grateful for
those experiences.
