Video store employee thanks customers Dear editor, It has now been approximately two months since Jumbo Video in Georgetown closed its doors for good, and it is still a tough pill for me to swallow. As an employee since October 2002, I have seen many people come and go, and I have seen the store go through good times, bad times, terrible times, and constant changes. But I can say without hesitation that my time at Jumbo Video will not be forgotten, as it is and always will be a significant part of my life up to this point. I write this letter now to simply say a heartfelt thank you, from myself and my fellow employees, to all the customers who helped Jumbo thrive for the 11 years that it operated in Georgetown. Without you, it is very clear to me that my tenure as an employee of Jumbo would not have been what it was. As such, I feel that it is important to state that your continued patronage up to our closing was very much appreciated. I can only hope that we provided and satisfied you with the customer service that we prided ourselves on, as customers such as yourselves deserved nothing less. Bryan Smith, Georgetown B.C. man seeks information on family Dear editor, I am writing this letter to see if any of your readers have any archival information available on my great-great-grandparents, John and Ann Clark, and their children, who settled in Brampton in July of 1842. If anyone has any information about the children of John and Ann Clark, or their grandchildren, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. My grandfather was George Campbell Clark, who was born to Thomas Clark and Martha Elizabeth Beck on November 12, 1881. He was the fourth son of John and Ann Clark. From information received to date, I have traced some of the family westward to Alberta and British Columbia in the late 1890's. At one time, Thomas Clark was station Master at Acton, Ontario for the Grand Trunk Railway. In later years, he, and some of his sons, were with the Canadian Pacific Railway in and around Lytton, British Columbia. The youngest son of Thomas Clark, Cyril Edward James Clark, born in Lytton, British Columbia on November 9, 1899, eventually moved to Brampton where he lived until just prior to his passing on May 2, 1974. Other items of interest I am missing, are the names and background of numerous spouses and their marriage dates. Thank you very much for any information anyone is able to forward onto me. It will be very much appreciated by all. Information can be sent to Mr. Douglas Clark Morris P.O. Box #58162, Station "L", Vancouver, British Columbia, V6P 6C5. Telephone 604276-8653.
