I arn sure that quite a number of close and distant relatives and ac*- quaintances in the area would be quite surprised to hear about me after ail tbese years. Bowmanville, to me, bas al- ways been tbe perfect place in wbich to spend a Summer holiday and I often think that people less fortunate tban my- self missed a great deal in nio. having a Grandmotber and a 'Bowmanvjlle" sucli as 1 had to visit so frequently. My sincere thanks also to the person wlio re-wrote the story wbicb appeared original- ly in the Vancouver Province. It was an excellent piece of i work and I particularly enjoy- ed the closing paragrapbs re- lating to our family ini Bow- manville. One of my favorite mem- orles of our Sumnmer bolidays concerned an incident with Jobnny Jameos, wbo at one tinte was, in charge of our "Trail Ranger" group. 1 only hopeý that you or your son will be attending the Canadian Week- ly Newspapers' Association IConvention, in Vancouver, i September so tbat we eati spend some time together dis-1 cussing my favorite town. r My Motber is now living in Vancouver and I know %vould be very tbrilled to receive a copy of that "special issue" ofa "The Canadian Statesman." t Her address is: Mrs. Mabel0 Beatty, 1210 Harwood Street, Vancouver 5, B.C.h Yours Sincerely.
