Ex-Police Chief Hailstone - cont’d. thing I could do was go home. So I did; I had this malaria for the best part of a year. In Saffron- Waldron was a councilor whose son was out here in the Okanagan and he said why don’t you go out, see Rex and he will fix you up and so on, which he did. Rex was one of the Officers from the Indian Army who retired and came to the Okanagan and bought good fruit farms. Rupert: So what year did you come out? Chief: I came out here in March 1923, then Jane came out in June and we got married in St. Saviors Anglican Church in Penticton. I remember on the 23'^'* of November, we got on the train on a beautiful crisp sunny day, and arrived in Vancouver in the pouring rain. No job, we put up in the St. Francis Hotel with a few dollars that we had, and then went around looking for rooms, which we finally located on Davie Street, which had a better reputation in those days than it has today. In 1924 we came over to West Vancouver, rented and lived in the Ravenscroft house. Rupert: Oh, up on the 1800 block Esquimalt. Chief: Right; and stayed there for a while, then gradually made the descent to various cabins, shacks and so on, ending up at what became... Oh, the Stevenson’s cabins. We were in there. Rupert: At the foot of 25*** Street, behind the Clachan. Chief: Yes, right, and there was Harry Wright and a few more youngsters there, you know. Then we went into different houses. We were up on 12^^ and Esquimalt for a while, opposite the Rhodes. Unknown Constable being sworn in with Rupert Harrison in the centre and Chief Charles Hailstone on the right. Photo Circa 1960’s.

Our mother â€" an extraordinary woman - Margaret Ethelyn Cameron, also known as Margaret Croll, Margaret Ockenden, and Margaret Ashby. So who is this woman? - A complex, interesting, musically talented, former real estate agent, and most importantly, a loving and well-loved mother. Where to begin to tell you about a woman who has lived her life to the fullest and along the way has kept her fighting spirit and sense of humour intact! Mom was born in 1917 at home on Telford Street in Burnaby to Reverend Angus and Beatrice Cameron. In her teens her family relocated to the South Granville area of West 14*i* and Birch, where her father was now the minister at Chowan United Church. At 12 years of age. Mom received the highest mark in the Level 8 Toronto Conservatory Piano Exams. Margaret attended Cecil Rhodes Elementary and King Edward High Schools, and Sprott Shaw Secretarial School. At this time she met our father, Alan Croll, through the Young People’s group of Chowan United Church. A quirk of fate is that mom’s father was the soccer coach of Alan CroH’s Douglas Park Soccer Team, In 1940, Margaret Cameron married Alan Croll, in the Whytecliff garden of her parent’s home (which was known as DUNLOCHIEL) at 7030 Marine Drive in West Vancouver. Her father Reverend Cameron presided at the marriage. Margaret and Alan Croll had four children in a period of 5 years: • In 1943 â€" Allison Croll • In 1945- the twins; myself, Pamela Croll and Jeremy Croll; and • In 1948 â€" Andrew Croll Over the next 20 years. Mom and our father Alan, an English teacher who taught for 40 years in West Vancouver, raised us in various homes across West Vancouver. Our first home was: • 1310 Argyle Avenue (now the home of the Hollyburn Sailing Club), then • Travers and 31®* Street in West Bay, then • 1021 Lawson Avenue; and finally • 1004 Mathers Avenue; the house our father built.
