YOUR LETTERS From: Joan Skipper Jeamiie (Allan) Moss, a member of the West Vancou- ver Historical Society, has been in touch with us to say that she has several photos of Dundarave School and students, around 1928-1929. She is presently sorting through these photos, which she can show to those who may be interested. Jeannie has promised us a short piece for the May issue of "History- Onics", with more information at that time. Ed. Note: Jeaimie has mines for most of those who appear in her plwlograplv!, hut not all. We hope to reproduce copies of her snaps in the May issue. If we can do, you may be able to tell her who the "mystery" people are! Albert Cox, also a member of the West Vancouver Historical Society thought he recognised the name of a new member (as published in our February issue). Joan is looking into this and will give our new member Albert's telephone number so that they can make contact. If he is your old friend, Albert, why don't you write and tell us about it. We are always happy to act as a "mail box" to put old friends in touch if they wish it. â- â- â- â- Tom's Quiz and the answers. (Contd. from i)ai,»e 7) 14. Who was tlie "Radio Man" who ran a business at 1890 Marine Drive and later worked as a projectionist for J. Howard Fletcher? The pmjectionist and general factotum for Mr. Fletcher was Jack Pettigrew’, who lived over the Hollyburn Grill. Many of us knew' him as the silver-flashlight bearing usher, who had to make frequent Friday-night ascents to the Hollyburn theatre's balcony, which produced more noise than the soundtrack. 15. WOiich outstanding scholar and athlete replaced Jimmy Sinclair when he retired from WVHS in June 1936? Jimmy Sinclair's W.V.H.S. replacement was Ernie Kershaw, mIio was able to combine teaching with a baseball career. From 1939 until he w ent off to war he was a starting pitcher with the Vancouver Capilanos, making $150 cash each month doing something he would gladly have done for nothing. Well, even if you did not send in your answers, liow close did you come to a perfect score? Tliis is the logo which the West Vancouver Museum & Archives is using for its new exhibit. The exhibition runs from now until July 27th, 2002. Come and revisit your childhood. There are sure to be toys you played witli and toys which you perhaps coveted but never posessed! There is bound to be something you will recognise and enjoy seeing again.
