Excerpts from an article in The North Shore News by Justin Beddall Warren Sommer has fond memories of visiting the North Shore. Trips to the Capilano Dam and hiking In Lynn Valley. The North Shore was the doorstep to an untamed wilderness. When given the opportunity to write a history in conjunction with the Centennial of North Vancouver, Warren was thrilled. Once the research of the city's colourful history commenced, he found that reams of information already existed through the North Shore Museum and Archives, the library, including brain-storming sessions with local "historians". After 7 years "The Ambitious City, a History of the City of North Vancouver", came to-gether in a beautifully presented book. Page One.
