A Letter

All this time my good friend Gord Bateman  was in New Zealand thinking about coming back to Canada.

If you have small children cover their eyes.

Written on Aug 18,1972. One day before Fraser’s 1st birthday.

Glenn couldn’t sit still.

This was it. Emptied the house into the rental truck.

Caught the 2 AM CPR ferry and we’re off to a new adventure.

After I left Glenn hired Gyrithe(Goo) and then married her! Late as usual they moved to Hornby, built a house and settled down.

If you want to see what happened when we hit Hornby go here.

Hornby

Jo and I had decided to move to Hornby so in 1971 we went looking for land.

First we looked at the place Joe Lowery would buy but finally bought 10 acres from John and Mary Fletcher. (I’m not going to tell you how much we paid. It’ll just make you angry)
