Eventually Herb located them. The story they told us was, when they landed and got their canoe safely up on the rocks, they found an old man living in a shack but he said he had no place they could sleep so they slept on the beach. When Herb found them Wally and Len were hungry as we had most of the grub with us. VJe stayed in the cove another night and the next morning we headed for the Y.M. C.A camp where we stayed for a few hours, then paddled along the shore east of Hopkins Landing where a group of school teachers had camped several summers. We camped on the beach there for four nights. On the Saturday night there was a dance at Gibsons at the Bolshevik Hall. We all decided to go. The girls dressed in our white ducks and white shirts and the fellows dressed in the girls' bloomers and sweaters. We paddled to Gibsons in the canoes, walked up to th^ hall and had a wonderful evening. The next day, Wally, Herb and Len paddled to Snug Cove on Bowen Island where Len left them to stay with his sister and Wally and Herb paddled back to West Vancouver. That left Harry, Norm and myself with 2 canoes. We got Glenn Hope from the Y.M.C.A. to join us. We decided to go up to Seaside Park. The first day there the Union Steamship boat arrived with the Royal Bank employees picnic. They made us welcome and when they left they left us a stack of about a dozen pies. The next day the Canadian Fairbanks Morse employees picnic arrived. Again we had fun mixing with the crowd and they also left us with a stack of pies. We ate pies until we were sick of them and ended up throwing them at one another. The next day we headed back towards Gibsons. V/e then went on to the old Indian Reserve between Granthams and Gibsons where we set up camp and stayed for several days. While at that location we would paddle to Gibsons for groceries. Winn's General Store was the gathering place for everyone, residents farmers and campers. They carried everything. After about a week at the Indian Reserve we decided to head home. When we rounded Point Atkinson it was quite choppy. The Bowen Island boat passed us and all the people were out on deck watching us dancing around on the waves. However, we made it safely around the Point and then headed straight for our camp at Dundarave. The trip was quite and experience. We had a lot of fun, met a lot of nice people and explored most of Howe Sound. While it may seem quiet on the surface, behind the scenes at the West Vancouver Museum & Archives things are very busy as planning fcr exhibits and programs gets underway. Included in this issue of "History - Cnks" is a Volunteer Questionnaire designed to provide the Museum & 4rchives and the Society with an inventory of member skills and interests. Utilizing this information we plan to begin an active Volunteer Program in January of 1S93! As you can see from the questionnaire there are many activities that Volunteers can get involved in. In fact this list is just a start! Perh^ you have a special skill or Interest that is not on the form? Please let us know as the opportunities are endless. Beginning in mid-January the Museum will be offering an Introductory Museum Studies course. Over a period of eight to ten weeks participants will explore, through lectures, discussions, hands on activities and visits to Lower Mainland museums, what museums are all about and how they work. For those of you interested in volunteering at the Museum, this course will be an important introduction to the work we will be carrying out over the next few years. A special section on the Questionnaire will let us know if you are interested in taking the course, and what would be the best times for you. For further information please contact Jacqueline Gijssen, Curator 926-9254 or Norma Sissons. Volunteer Coordinator, 925-3460. Page 4
