I Joined the Royal Bank in 1961, Burns lake was my 1st posting. I spent 20+ yrs travelling the province with them, ending up as manager of the 7oaks branch in Abbotsford where I decided to leave the bank and go into real estate sales where I am today. I married a local Abbotsford girl (Glenda) on my transfer by the bank to Clearbrook in 1962. We were married 9 months later and transferred to Terrace where our son was born. As mentioned I travelled all over the province with the bank. In 1974 we moved from Whalley, Surrey to Mt. Lehman where we purchase a small 10 acre hobby farm from Glenda's parents and have lived there ever since.

School Story

I attended Grade 13 North Van High following graduation from Delbrook and immediately thereafter travelled by bus throughout the western states for a couple of months with Al Backler who I haven't seen since and would very much like to know where to find him.

I have several fun memories of Warren, Me and Gavin when we were kids at Capilano Elementary, Hamilton and Delbrook. Speaking of Delbrook. Warren had his mom's buick, for the first time, and the three of us agreed to see how fast it would go but didn't expect him to decide to do so down Delbrook Rd. at 100 miles per hour resulting in him loosing control and smashing into a road ditch. Gavin and I could see it coming and braced ourselves putting our feet up on the dash which crumpled in on impact and Warren held fast on to the steering wheel which cracked in half. All three falling out of the vehicle ontop of eachother. I on the bottom thought I was dead. That's only one little story, I won't go on with others. Needless to say we enjoyed adventures. I don'y want you get the wrong opinion, Warren (wherever you are) you lived a good and adventuresome life and if you don't mind me saying so, don't rest in peace, just keep on going. Jim

Happy Birthday Jimmy and many more. We should get together for lunch again soon and maybe this time we can convince Bernie to show up. I just got back from a short vacation in Palm Springs and was reminded that you also enjoy the PS weather now and again. I'll call you sometime in the near future. Jim

Another year older and deeper in deaf ! have a good one this B-Day and let's hope we all have many more. I've said it many times but someday I'll come back to Calgary and be sure to look you up. Hopefully next year the Stampede will be in full gear and that will entice me to come. Stay Safe Jim

Jim, have a very happy birthday on December 19 (I think that’s The correct date).Might you have some blackberry wine? I wish it was the blackberry picking season now with nice warm sunshine, although at this time Covid would prevent me from going out of North Vancouver.

Lou & David I'm very impressed with your awards as I was on reading your book. As mentioned earlier it brought back many memories for me about my time spent on the west coast one of my favorite places on this earth. I, as are many, am looking forward to your return to Canada and the sunshine coast. I have a number of friends and relations in Sechelt and next time in your area I will plan to visit you. Jim

Sorry to hear of your partners passing, I can share your thoughts as my wife passed away 2years ago just prior to her birthday March 17th. Like you she was a St. Paddy's girl and always wearing of the green on her B-Day. My how the years pass so quickly and I trust that your upside down world will right itself soon. All the best in these trying months ahead. Stay Safe. Jim
