But what Gil is telling me on the phone just now as to I said, you'll have to write it down because she's battling it off 90 miles an hour. And actually how the smeeton has bought the property Musgraves they were in Calcutta. And they went to a get together. And B was talking to someone who in inherited that property at Musgraves because the Smiths didn't have any children. And so they left it to this nephew. And the nephew I guess was in Calcutta and Jenny's. I've inherited this property. And mitad B they said Well, would you like to sell it? This is Oh Yes. Name the price I suppose and so it was actually a barrel that bought the property at masquerade sight unseen and she said gives it the neighbors on each side. We're waiting for it to come on the market so both 160 acres of agroforestry

Unknown Speaker 2:07
so this one isn't in there to be amazing institution.

Unknown Speaker 2:11
Oh it isn't no shade

Unknown Speaker 2:14
No no I suppose if it is the amazing institution is in Victoria it wouldn't necessarily be seen that this is so

Unknown Speaker 2:21
yes, but the first two years you see of grandpa the first two years are all about coming to Salt Lake to wait then oh, I don't think we have any more copies hanging around sometimes you can see

Unknown Speaker 2:32
the well it might be might be possible to get interlibrary loans. That's the other thing but I'll look into that if you like because on that committee on the nonfiction committee

Unknown Speaker 2:44
ah yes that's an interesting one

Unknown Speaker 2:50
Yeah, so no I look into it and they actually very responsive that library to people asking you know customers asking for things that

Unknown Speaker 3:00

So my brother and I don't have a copy

Unknown Speaker 6:40
I wonder whether that will come up so you can really see

Unknown Speaker 6:43

Unknown Speaker 6:44
well, the issue was very taken with the camping seats because you know, you can say things like you're doing the dishes and

Unknown Speaker 7:54
yes, there's another one. Who's it? II? Oh, that's Edith. That's my credit. Oh, that's your question. Yes. So

Unknown Speaker 8:00
we've K Y R L e is it like Costco? That's right. Yeah. And

Unknown Speaker 8:05
Carolyn needed Higgins my brother is two years old he has just because I was writing up some memoirs not that one of them check with his being too much to two years older his memories are more accurate than mine. And priceless some of them yes. Because he was us

Unknown Speaker 8:26
more aware. Yes.

Unknown Speaker 8:28
Boats and engines and yes. Here's more camping. Oh yeah. My mother was a great

Unknown Speaker 8:40
he has a long dress and rain Do

Unknown Speaker 8:46
you know I have? I think the probably we kept those little chairs. I have one I have several. And my brother's got one. And granted it was a great thing man. And these are tiny and how on earth did you say yes better even more better camping pictures on that.

Unknown Speaker 9:05
It was so it was the breakfast one that she remarked upon sweet but like you say with that

Unknown Speaker 9:15
that still got in the middle of a field I guess it was

Unknown Speaker 9:19
I was very impressed with this score putting on the Merchant of Venice Oh given that it was a boys school did that some of the boys have to be always

Unknown Speaker 9:27
dressed them up smashing girls and battling with get this poor kid. I remember when they had a Dutch thing they and dairy Park and could play the piano and I mean then tombs and they put on these plates and poor boys with these pigtails and rosy cheeks and your isn't it as you know

Unknown Speaker 9:52
they're young enough and it's

Unknown Speaker 9:56
okay to have women on stage. It was all very effective. Very traditional drill making two oh yeah we have some of those drill holes still to the I

Unknown Speaker 10:06
would say it was really impressed because it looks to me it sounds it's obviously not a big school or no one sort of 15 Boys oh it's maybe in

Unknown Speaker 10:16
my days I remember getting up to 60 and a half oh that's big 20 and 30 and then the war then then Depression hit so it went up and down and up and down it was a struggle some years that say that amazing institution people some people always get through this the monks launch Phillip was telling stories better than I have both know Beaumont, Captain Beaumont. Oh god, why didn't drown everybody I don't know and we my brothers written that as we prices because he used to take Well I tell you the book I've just finished reading is to hear the rumble seat by Oh, barley, barley, Barley Barley. Anyway, she was in Esquimalt person and she picked Pickerington. No Can you do that and she mentioned is going out to discovery island off of eBay. Oh my god, the Romans moved there. But Grandpa the tails we've got him before they moved there and used to take all these boats and search for it and then up the he'd had the board at the St. Michael's boys out and they hold the boat anyway, and it was getting there midnight and of course parents started phoning where their children and they obey pleases all will be looking for bodies in the morning or something. Anyway, grab a flag down the passing Indian and the canoe and you took them to Japan to safety charging $1 ahead which was exorbitant.

Unknown Speaker 12:10
I guess my dad actually set up didn't get some recordings of Dad's stories so that my uncle was the rock on tour and dad used to roll his eyes. Oh, Ned stories is my dad. And then uncle Ned had a stroke. And his speech was his mind was completely clear. Couldn't get things out. And he could have told him well does that roll his eyes and so many stories? Because dad was listening to all the stories or when you're out I don't know where that other campaign runs. So it'd be

Unknown Speaker 12:47
yeah what do you actually get interested in your family storage is often when people tell you them have gone you know you're going now what did she say? Oh,

Unknown Speaker 12:55
God. Yes, I your grandparents on the other side. Mom's side. I used to ask my grandparents stories then. What was always interesting oh

Unknown Speaker 13:20
I've got the greater Victoria Public Library here. What are you looking at now? I was just looking at Oh, this this book.

Unknown Speaker 13:27
That amazing a seducer that

Unknown Speaker 13:29
should be in the

Unknown Speaker 13:30
oh, it should be for sure. And so there's something here as well. So that's the title.

Unknown Speaker 13:45
There it is. Not amazing. Student Privacy. 1910 1940. No. Well, of course, it's a Nyko. School. It starts at 1910. But you see he came here in 1908 1908 to nine and the book actually started making that leap. But because they've tied it the story of St. Michael's School, which is Yeah, so grandpa does talk about just right. Oh, yes. Yeah. Well, yes. It should say how many copies one item?

Unknown Speaker 14:24
Yes. One item that's available in some locations as well. That would be okay. Can see. Yes, probably. You're right. It's true. Is that only one copy?

Unknown Speaker 14:38
Oh, available to it says so. That's interesting.

Unknown Speaker 14:41
Yeah. Because look, reference and in library Central Library nonfiction. Central Labor when it was in Virginia. Yeah, yeah. And central lobby, local history room. So presumably they've got one for reference and Oh,

Unknown Speaker 15:00
sending one

Unknown Speaker 15:03
reference because it's his local history wrong. So yeah, that's actually good.

Unknown Speaker 15:07
So is this the complete thing? Then? Double the whole other one? Where's that? Where's the original? You started taking just took a car page by page. Okay,

Unknown Speaker 15:19
we put it back together again. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 15:22
Yeah. And you just didn't get scanned, even the scanning came out what you did you manage to enhance this

Unknown Speaker 15:31
very little.

Unknown Speaker 15:33
But then he's taking the scanned image and then he's enhancing the scanned image on the computer. So that's it.

Unknown Speaker 15:39
Oh, right. So it's all it's only at the bicycles. But the pictures are bigger than what's in there a little bit. Yeah, yeah, they look. So I see. So what you've done is you scan those, put it in there went to Photoshop, enhance them, and then may exist? No,

Unknown Speaker 16:03
no, this is very little enhanced, just printed out the way.

Unknown Speaker 16:10
The ones that we're seeing individually, the ones that he's he's Oh, screen, so when you get the CD, it will be okay. It'll be the enhanced individual paper. So basically cutting each one of those out not literally in Photoshop

Unknown Speaker 16:25
and then enhancing right. Oh, this is wonderful.

Unknown Speaker 16:29
Oh, actually to this wonderful. You know, these are deteriorating natural originals this way, then you've got them forever. Oh, yes. And in better for me, I

Unknown Speaker 16:40
hate to tell you but CDs are deteriorating?

Unknown Speaker 16:42
Well. Yes, I know. But what I mean is potentially you can take the digital image and put it in some other form on your USB stick or what? So that's the that's the extent to which

Unknown Speaker 16:53
it's, it's forever. See my cousin, Michael Ned's had one son Michael and he I know he will definitely want but if it's got at CD then he can do it himself or whatever. And Philip K and I will each well I don't know if we'll get the original notes up maybe Laura in India and she's very she's a lawyer she's very got my grandfather's brain for categorizing them yes, yeah. Yeah, so probably she'll be the one to the original well my daughter's good two year old she's pretty busy. Yes, well now

Unknown Speaker 17:37
you can take that one along for now. But we do need your your brain and we have to get together and yes we

Unknown Speaker 17:47
need to do is more of what we what you're doing just naturally here which Okay, so what's that? What's that what's

Unknown Speaker 17:56
much more? Yes, I might pick up the web the where that one is the actual setting up. This is another picture of you see the details of the kettle on? Yes. Must be in one of these kind of camping periods.

Unknown Speaker 18:15
I'd have to look through. We've got a number of camping you

Unknown Speaker 18:19
know, and this is another thing we we went in thingies. And then the Emmeline board was I mean it was about life jacket made of Kpop and when we got that this song like we we're none of us well it was so bulky to you couldn't agree those many people that is typical, even in my day when we went out on the boat. Never wear life jackets. Because most of us are there for swimming Richmond's beach or waded out too far I'm trying to swim in but when you're kids you want to swim anyway so

Unknown Speaker 18:57
you call the Bridgman beach yeah original

Unknown Speaker 19:01
property that's in here yeah some set William and most persistent follower case from look at the men what the the hats they put on boys when they would be my dad. Yeah. The printing this is a not quite as clear as in the original yacht. Yes, no cleaning welders. Oh, yes. Actually, we did get that to talk about it. And so when told dad went out with them that was always into boats. Grandpa wasn't that always had to run all the boats because there was the mechanic in mind. Grandpa was hopeless, absolutely hopeless. And he went out with a native Indian who was very, very lazy. Apparently, but a dad would row him he take them up To spare flowers or something, and we didn't anyway, so I've just been reading Philips account of this and he took them off so my father wrote this check out to where he's with her flounders and he had a thing called a he and Philip explained that told Philip that I guess they'll have taken off the recording will be exactly what he is and it's a device you put down on the water see and then flounders come in and you haul it up really fast and then human spirit and I think that damages meeting and then another time the same fellow says well if you want Shall we dynamite then of course my my dad didn't care who I was excited about again, he says but you have to roll like video because we only have a few seconds to get back to show before this thing explodes to try to show sure by Matt went on date is now ready to roll back and pick up all these stumps fish of course. Anyway, so there we are. So now I didn't read my checkbook. But I do I would like to know to reimburse you for all your efforts now or later will not have checkbook but now sometime. We'll worry about that later. So you'd like me to take this one for now. Oh, thank you very much. Yeah that's wonderful. I'll take I'll go into it feels so much better. I'm gonna can't really do much harm when you point

Unknown Speaker 21:45
this iPad, I've got my oh gardening, greasy fingerprints

Unknown Speaker 21:50
all have you got one of those wipers, number of people I know we've got iPads. We've got these beautiful wipers. It's like a kind of Shammi kind of thing. And it just wipes off all the full marks. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 22:02
my daughter says she just takes her screen, man. Take a knife

Unknown Speaker 22:05
is a friend of mine in England. And I'm going on the downside of this if you've got all these fingers. He says it's gone. Yeah. And it was it was it? I don't have it. Yeah, it was actually yeah, it was either a real or an artificial Chevy that was built into the case. Oh into the king's name.

Unknown Speaker 22:25
Oh, I must stop eating muffins different. No, no. Anyways, well, many thanks. That's absolutely wonderful. wash

Unknown Speaker 22:34
it with water. Well, actually,

Unknown Speaker 22:37
the screen that I use for my glasses lens I just sprayed out on. It has that micro little micro cloth which I noticed they

Unknown Speaker 22:44
stopped alcohol in it. Yes. Not not

Unknown Speaker 22:49
good for iPads. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 22:51
I haven't used it. But I mean, it's good for plastic lenses. With crease testing.

Unknown Speaker 23:01
You should look you should yeah,

Unknown Speaker 23:04
I haven't used it at all. I must, you know. And then I've Oh, because I thought well, plastic lenses is the plastic cover. It never occurred to you. It wouldn't be any good. Yes, it is. Okay, well, thank you for telling me that. Oh, me. No. So that's a pretty old box. 10 Gold is nice. I like it a lot. Oh, it says 1900. Paris. 1900. There you go. Wow. I found to see it. Well, I have I think I've told you I've had some needles and I put it up on a shelf. And then I finally looked at the end of the box courses

Unknown Speaker 23:54
there. Well, thank you. They were all very excited about that just lovely photos.

Unknown Speaker 24:04
Well, they mean something to give a local Yeardley the something else we have on movie. And I tried to get hold of a year ago or more. This is the aterna archives. I don't know I don't know where because they don't know. Okay, or historical society. Because we also on the 60 millimeter film, have the riches. At the lighthouse. We were good friends of the riches and we used to go there in the summer and visit with them and they were during the war they were stuck out on Race Rocks and which was really something off of your lighthouse keeper stuck out there. And after the war then it could be transferred and they went to each point and and then it was a dandy and Kathleen they didn't have any children. But they have a horse with a blind icon Back in the goat that used to ride on top of the horse. This is what they told us whether that happened, of course, couldn't see me went over the cliff. Oh, let's go. Andy was a real character. And we've also got he he had his old car built steam. I guess he had to fill up and read here every so many miles or anything, because it was Andy and he got so tired of the punch and he filled all the tires full of cement. So they ride. See now, that's what I remember when my brother would be more accurate. That anyway, so there we are. No, I don't know. That's nice. So

Unknown Speaker 25:49
you have that? 1616? Yes.

Unknown Speaker 25:52
Well, I My sister has an MSc in storage. And so we do. Yes, yeah. That was the one that took all those pictures. Yeah. So

Unknown Speaker 26:05
some places where you can get a transcript. Well,

Unknown Speaker 26:09
why does it when it when

Unknown Speaker 26:13
to took the London

Unknown Speaker 26:14
Drugs, put it on video. And the thing is that the and then I actually recorded that voice once while he was showing me movies to it. And London Drugs took upon themselves to some footage where he's fallen off a rap rock. And it was all like this. So they edited that out and into the video, I hope they didn't edit the film. And various things edit. So now the talking voice doesn't match up to the oh,

Unknown Speaker 26:44
they would match up a commentary on this. You been here before? You know

Unknown Speaker 26:51
Dan, when he was showing us a film I recorded it. But and you've been here the old projector going dry and dad and then periodically some of us would comment. And I haven't listened to it again. But I have that and I thought I had the video when I was looking for it. And the guy says oh no, I've got that. And of course it's in storage. We can't get it. But I don't know when it's going to come out of storage but I hope the storage places safe. It's supposed to be heated.

Unknown Speaker 27:21
This is your sister. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 27:23
The videotape the video, it's not a CD, it's on video.

Unknown Speaker 27:29
But the original was was 16 millimeter. And then we got the original

Unknown Speaker 27:32
16 and that is in storage. Yes. And I think she must have put the projector in storage. Two things to get bolts for it still. But yeah, but just funny. I saw these old films so many times that if I if I listened to them, which I haven't done, but if I listen to the tape, the audio, I can automatically see the pictures so I must say them for the family. Oh yes. And for all breakouts for the grandchildren, you know, us as children, and lot. And then he made a whole lot of them in a lot of displacement together. So they're in countesses canister is this big. And they made one of the junior school. And then then and then when they moved to Falkland Victoria, they took another a lot. And I got out the canister with it sim on the outside. It was the early when that first came, took it out. And the original and it's just another one of dad giving a school history or something to somebody else. And we don't know where it's gone. Somebody's switch somebody had it.

Unknown Speaker 28:51
Is this a big family? You've got lots of brothers and says No,

Unknown Speaker 28:54
just my brother's famous. And one question. So that's it. We're very small. Yeah. And my brother has two daughters. I have one and my sister has three, four. And she had a son and a daughter. And so my brother has four grandchildren I have to and my sister has done something just to have some four, four grandsons. So my brother has four granddaughters and they're all on England.

Unknown Speaker 29:27
They're all short, or at least some of those grandchildren are going to absolutely love this material. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 29:32
yes, yes, yes. Yeah, it's interesting. It's always the way some children are interested in some, some

Unknown Speaker 29:39
are on some, you know, like with us it was sort of later on that we started to relax where how much our grandparents were part of history. And you know, it's sort of it's going away. Oh, gosh, I wish I'd asked that. Oh, gosh, exactly why I did not sit them down and record whatever they knew. Well, I do Oh,

Unknown Speaker 30:00
my God, we did one Christmas that told stories. I think there's that Bairbre love to camp. And he had to take that the oldest out to set up, Camp it out with his Ragu. And hey, she's counting from your nose. There's a donkey to get after go and set up down. I think it came back from. Where's my uncle Ned? He liked to count his wife. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 30:36
Yeah, I love camping as a kid.

Unknown Speaker 30:37
So when did you come to

Unknown Speaker 30:40
Salt Spring? Well, I bought my house in 2002. I worked in Vancouver. But I only moved here full time two years ago. Oh, yeah. So I had this as a holiday home. You know, kind of share it with. But moved here full time.

Unknown Speaker 31:00
So it's great that you're taking such as Oh, yeah, this

Unknown Speaker 31:03
is totally fascinating. Yeah, and it's a very interesting Island historically. Oh. Yeah. A new direction for me. And I'm completely fascinated by. Did I see you? Will you at the reading of the best man by Golf, Adele was that you'd actually come and said, hello. I don't know anybody. I wasn't sure if it was you at the end. But I think wasn't it amazing? Yes. It was a wonderful play for exactly what they did. Because you didn't need much action? No, in the words and the verbs. You didn't miss it being clear. And they did it so well. Yes. I just thought with this particular topic, I think,

Unknown Speaker 31:59
ya know, they sort of said it was interesting talking to the one who played the the wife of the Texan. Yes, yes. She was good. Oh, she was excellent. She was excellent. They were all excellent. She came up in the intermission and said how uncomfortable she was doing it because she'd become a Buddhist and she hated that. And that she has

Unknown Speaker 32:26
she was one of those southern Southern belle type, you know, sort of, you know.

Unknown Speaker 32:37
Very effective. Very, very effective. Very, very sort of sexual. It would be very Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker 32:43
Yeah. But she didn't she did a wonderful

Unknown Speaker 32:45
job. A great, excellent sentence. Well, yeah. Southern accent at least I couldn't tell it. No.

Unknown Speaker 32:53
It was was good. No, that was I thought, Oh, this is a great thing to do on a rainy afternoon.

Unknown Speaker 32:59
So how long have you been here then? Oh,

Unknown Speaker 33:01
I've just moved here. A year ago March. Ah, but

Unknown Speaker 33:05
from from obey. Obey. Oh, yeah. So that's a

Unknown Speaker 33:09
bit is the AI. It's like coming home because yes, of my history. And then our summer holidays during the war world standard abridgement property? Because Montes why?

Unknown Speaker 33:26
She didn't. You could remember that. Can

Unknown Speaker 33:27
you? Oh, yes. Because I was when my daughter, my sister was five years younger she was born. So I would have been four and five. And I remember a lot of them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And the Somerset which was like my brothers, I can imagine. And then actually, we had, it would really miss the boat and you got Leon King to build a dinghy? Beautiful. It was a clinker. It was a cargo plane, I guess. And it rode beautifully had two rowing positions. And we have that dinghy right up to the end. And then it needs repairing and my sister tried to get me Never. So I asked Mr. Sobey, who now owns the king property and told him over the phone, I never met him. I said this was built by Leon. And actually we went on the property and there was stuff around and I said, could we put this dingey back on the property to let it go back into the ground? Who said yes, we could. And so it gave us permission to put it down in the grass. There it is, and it'll slowly disintegrate. Return to its thing. Yeah. But anyway, so that was the summers and then more recently, I lived on Provo island with a diverse Yes. And who I met to 43 years ago. How long did you live? Five years, five years, a few months and by didn't want to get caught and 200 running water and that really wow

Unknown Speaker 35:03
wow

Unknown Speaker 35:08
so that yeah, they treat me like one of my family actually. So my port of call was Ganges juicy. And we've got the mail and groceries

Unknown Speaker 35:17
yes yes

Unknown Speaker 35:17
