I REMEMBER....DO YOU? - contM. â-¡ centre of the lot to half-mast. He was suspended. â-¡ The winter when they closed 15*^^ street so that the kids, we felt, could use it as a sleigh run. I think now that it was because the cars couldn't get up it. â-¡ Street ending at Mathers with only a dirt road further up. â-¡ The Hollyburn Theatre and its Photo night on Thursdays and its balcony. â-¡ The old Hollyburn Pavilion on 17^^ ^nd Bellevue where you went for cubs. Rangers, the Y and West Van Band with Arthur Delamont. It was where Teen Town held dances. The Pavilion was owned by Ernie and Gladys Benbow, about 1935 - 36. My father fronted the dance band during the summer months and during the winter when it transformed into a roller rink, he looked after the floor and the customers. My mother worked at the concession stand which was owned by my great- grandparents, Minnie and Art Bossenberry. They also owned the small coffee shop and boat rental at the location that was destined to become John Lawson Park. â-¡ The small carnival that used to be on the lot across 17th from the Pavilion. I won a flashlight there. â-¡ The Odeon Movie Club on Saturday afternoons. 25 cents got you in and a small bag of popcorn. Superman serials, a Tarzan movie, a 3 Stooges short and a couple of cartoons and 200 kids all yelling "On with the show". What fun. â-¡ Vim's Boat Rentals where John Lawson Park is now. It had that long wooden surface into the water to help launch the boats. It made it easier on your feet when â-¡ you went for a swim. My great- grandparents ran it in the 30's. â-¡ May Day and the May Day Ball at the High School and us boys having to do the May Pole Dance for Hollyburn School. There are hundreds of such memories out there. They need to be preserved just as the physical artifacts do. Why not send us yours. It will help all of us to keep our fond reminiscences of West Vancouver. @@@@ MAY 27TH, 2009 - WEST VANCOUVER SENIORS^ CENTRE Jim Taylor, well known sports writer and biographer will speak about a book he is preparing for the fall on Dal Richards. Dal, an icon of big band music since his early days at he PNE as a teenager, through his years at "The Roof" in the Hotel Vancouver up to today, where he performs each summer at the Harmony Arts Eestival at John Lawson Park.

APRIL 23, 1980, Tape 76 S2F21 with Rupert Harrison. I was just a year old (when I first arrived in West Vancouver) and I was carried up the skid road. I couldn't even walk because when I was nine months old in Woodstock, New Brunswick, I had Infantile Paralysis, which is now called Polio and didn't walk again until I was two years. That fall Prank was born in 1910. Rupert: The early roads in some photographs that I have seen are pretty rough. Paving was nonexistent. There was just gravel "roads". Helen C: Yes. Inglewood was a plank road because there was, well, I guess it was too muddy to build so, they didn't build as you say. Dad told me that the pioneers were given the opportunity of helping to name the avenues which were alphabetically from Argyle and when they came to "I", they didn't know just what to name the street, so my aunt and my dad said why not name it after our brother Inglewood. They did. It was named after Inglewood Colpitts. He was never here. Rupert: Was he not in the ministry? Helen C: He was studying to be in the ministry but, he died of, I think it was a burst appendix. @@@@ Page 5
