Dear Editor: Many thanks for your letter advising me of the gift subscription and membership in the West Vancouver Museum and Historical Society given to me by Bill and Katie Dickinson. What a lovely surprise. I can’t begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed reading the first two copies of the newsletter that I have received.
