Page 2 Farewell to a Dear Friend Our Community mourns the loss of a long time resident and friend, Rupert Harrison, who passed away August 9‘^, 2007. Rupert lived his entire life in West Vancouver. Appointed City Clerk in the early 1940's, a position he held for 37 years. Upon retirement, Rupert became West Vancouver's first Archivist and Historian. The following item was printed in Denny Boyd's column some time ago. "John Broderick wrote a fond, nostalgic piece on the old ferries for Western Living. The story ended with the wish that one more trip could be made. The piece was published about the time that the West Vancouver Historical Society was incorporated with the help of the West Vancouver Rotary. West Vancouver archivist Rupert Harrison, Broderick's schooldays chum, with the help of Historical Society members Eugene Scott and Hugh Johnston, fired up the boilers in the "Hollyburn" for Saturday's trip. They left from the foot of Denman Street; old West Vancouver residents and nostalgics, who had come from Seattle, Williams Lake, Kelowna and Victoria. Among the passengers were two former skippers of the line, Capt. Roy Barry and Capt. Gerald Lancaster. They cruised the harbor; went under the bridge with mixed emotions, while Harrison did a bullhorn narration and the West Vancouver Adult Band played appropriate music. Of course, there was no stopping at the foot of 14^^ Street, but they did circle three times at Dundarave, while a Piper saluted the passengers from the tip of the pier. "Oh, my, but it was so fine," said John Broderick." Denny Boyd called Rupert a true gentleman; "The Memory Bank of West Vancouver". Rupert Harrison will be greatly missed by our Community. â-¡ â-¡â-¡â-¡ Hollyburn Ridge Vignettes - 2 I By the Late Jackie M. Baker During the 1940's and 1950's there were over 300 cabins on Hollyburn Ridge. Some were on private land, but most were in the Municipal Park area and occupiers paid a lease fee on them at first, then taxes were added. There was a Ranger nearby. The Ranger had a variety of duties - cabins were broken into, some dances needed "supervision" with Cont'd. page three.
