Unknown Speaker 0:28
anchor

Unknown Speaker 0:48
picking up before that little brochure

Unknown Speaker 1:02
when he gave me the old brochure which accustomed to

Unknown Speaker 1:12
one thing you know maybe pictures don't mean a whole lot to you are there any stories that you want to tell about okay

Unknown Speaker 1:35
than one I found that sign to the lodge too little I don't know if it has that special moment

Unknown Speaker 1:47
but where did you find that sign

Unknown Speaker 1:49
in it was there were some things when it gave me in some things that she was throwing out that she gave me there was a black garbage bag of stuff that was just going to the dump I think was in one of those

Unknown Speaker 2:07
okay so this was just the brochure

Unknown Speaker 2:26
and I think they give them the registry to deny all guests yeah

Unknown Speaker 2:40
so what about what about this one

Unknown Speaker 2:49
I don't remember that picture but obviously Stan was placing chickens before he even finished the house. There were lots of older trees which took down later to have gardens right

Unknown Speaker 3:10
well you have lawns and tennis I guess was the dining room there

Unknown Speaker 3:31
late 20s

Unknown Speaker 3:42
where we left off on me that was three individual 10 by 10s for the staff and then did you like living in a railway car 30 bucks I think we've knocked out some of the rules didn't even know what we were doing but that's what we do.

Unknown Speaker 4:11
And number long arrow without walls and how

Unknown Speaker 4:24
72 September's when we arrived and I guess we left in 83 Seven Stanley died. It is really for

Unknown Speaker 4:44
home sweet home. You never think you're gonna live in a place like that for that long or you could have fixed it up. Being attendant is like

Unknown Speaker 5:00
Did you get the picture do you think

Unknown Speaker 5:11
oh that's the

Unknown Speaker 5:19
second one yeah

Unknown Speaker 5:29
Kevin

Unknown Speaker 5:34
What do I miss Yeah, in my time we never had a fence like that so I don't know this could have been

Unknown Speaker 5:44
long before I actually know what this looks like the tennis court offense way back in the day guessing

Unknown Speaker 5:59
Yeah, I probably did I never saw that one

Unknown Speaker 6:14
car by the meat was astounding most of them

Unknown Speaker 6:21
well and then that bloke property right next door he had a Model A and then with it that were buried and they still they're

Unknown Speaker 6:35
sinking into the groundwater

Unknown Speaker 6:39
Look at the size of the maple tree garden and another album. I have a picture of you and Jeremy and Sarah up in the maple tree suite

Unknown Speaker 6:56
when we moved down there not wanting to my old house and protesting by sitting up in April tree chair to sit there

Unknown Speaker 7:13
and that looks like Mr. Jackson

Unknown Speaker 7:25
Oh yeah, family still used to his sister's eventually had to go to a home for Alzheimer's. But she she went through excruciating late stages of it and lived with him. And so she would have to go for a drive at any time of day or night, like middle of the night. And so he would take her for a drive and then he she got to the point where he would just put her in the car and maybe turn the engine on and not go anywhere and she wouldn't be satisfied

Unknown Speaker 8:08
and then she started being dangerous and hitting him and then finally I guess he got him into a home before my time shortlisted in my time was 72 Tommy Carolyn, the way he spoke it must have been late 60s like 6970 Something like that

Unknown Speaker 8:53
it was his 90th birthday

Unknown Speaker 9:04
in the dining room.

Unknown Speaker 9:08
We had his 90th birthday at the Hall was a different birthday. If that was in the dining room and looking at that light bulb there must have been who was it? There was a couple was there three kids that lived in a tent at Twin poles. And he used to make Larry feely I think Larian mode and they used to make those bone and ivory sort of carbon so that's what Stanley was wearing.

Unknown Speaker 9:46
He was so special

Unknown Speaker 9:52
lot of parties are planning

Unknown Speaker 9:55
to ping pong tournaments

Unknown Speaker 10:00
sitting up in the cabin when there was a party down below trying to go into the party go back to bed go back into the cabin

Unknown Speaker 10:18
was nice living around all those people don't particularly like living by myself okay what's the next one

Unknown Speaker 10:32
I'll be ready to paint dry someday all my friends are there

Unknown Speaker 11:01
think about the Eagles

Unknown Speaker 11:10
Not really. Oh they were they from the Marina nation 22 Then they cooked in the family that had a farm at the marina there was a family at the park the fruit tree they're all that age right so summit Park, which you could only get to buy both of them at the marina and then Stanley built his place and then the goods where you were coming out live before you were born. They came later after standing that was the only people there until until the Montague subdivision

Unknown Speaker 12:19
always used to say I could catch a lot of fish when I have an inboard engine since I grew up nope board never caught me fish I don't know what that particular means

Unknown Speaker 12:37
but money you harbor had fishing and when I was there some people that we can do just went out rolling in a boat and caught a salmon near the Marina that consented which she just didn't expect would happen

Unknown Speaker 13:01
of fish

Unknown Speaker 13:09
and one of those people Stanley are they all guests?

Unknown Speaker 13:12
No I don't see

Unknown Speaker 13:29
more guests click away

Unknown Speaker 13:42
for generations

Unknown Speaker 13:50
so this is Jackson in the middle and right behind

Unknown Speaker 13:57
Oh no, no. Yeah, have you had a nephew? No. in Calgary

Unknown Speaker 14:13
oh yeah, this would be Margaret. And that probably would be his lovely sister

Unknown Speaker 14:27
and then I wonder what the babies

Unknown Speaker 14:36
probably, probably I've seen no one. And so I can't really recognize him. No, sister married here. came over, I think before World War One. And so this, the younger sister married and had to children I'm not sure how many children know her sister Margaret and remarried

Unknown Speaker 15:11
in the backyard of your place

Unknown Speaker 15:22
still one thing I haven't given them I still have I don't know if you know in the pictures mother's black silk parasol I've been saving things you know I don't just give them all right away with a silk bright pink silk lining inside but I used it for a couple of years but just when the pub had its opening party and things like that have to be chucked out of fear ripped a bit and it could be fixed so it's in a plastic bag in my trailer I bet yeah

Unknown Speaker 16:12
the galleon of Gothic my parents this is actually not here

Unknown Speaker 16:39
so maybe this is the girl house on the marinaside dimension for people who have the farm

Unknown Speaker 16:53
surely culture might have some photographs from that time to she'd remember

Unknown Speaker 17:18
do you think about the marriage

Unknown Speaker 17:23
not just people up in the street

Unknown Speaker 17:39
was quite an enterprise I haven't looked at that. Yes Amazing, isn't it and you think how easy it is to get here now. How many people in a depression depressed economy would come and go through all the hassle of going through active path and unloading at the other

Unknown Speaker 18:08
thing about Harriet store

Unknown Speaker 18:16
having a bad Bob memberikan biggest source of information

Unknown Speaker 18:23
is people who donate their family so for example at the news have a lot of pictures of fabric store.

Unknown Speaker 18:37
Society okay. Do you think about the Home Guard? Well, the votes from wanting you

Unknown Speaker 18:46
to know it was just briefly mentioned

Unknown Speaker 18:54
what about things like the Jackson family, you know in 1935

Unknown Speaker 19:01
When we went to England, we went to Liverpool and looked up for Stanley had his house. It was a huge slum. But like the parks, little little little neighborhood parks were just covered with broken glass and it was really awful. But it was getting an update so I guess the working people were buying buying the houses and starting to renovate it again. So we took pictures of it was really a depressing little neighborhood which has seen better days

Unknown Speaker 19:40
so I wonder if this was around there

Unknown Speaker 19:50
Jackson

Unknown Speaker 19:55
was taking pictures on the left must be market Hear

Unknown Speaker 20:07
me that was his father.

Unknown Speaker 20:09
Yeah

Unknown Speaker 20:12
when his father

Unknown Speaker 20:20
Oh, his father didn't make it to Canada.

Unknown Speaker 20:23
Oh yeah,

Unknown Speaker 20:24
I'm pretty sure but he died and then they I'm not sure why they left South Vancouver to come to Galliano maybe when he died I don't know like I said it was right before the depression Stanley was living at home and driving eggs around delivering milk and doing jobs like that which is about all we had in those days I guess. Be lager delivered

Unknown Speaker 21:14
35 Margaret is

Unknown Speaker 21:30
not so old guy

Unknown Speaker 21:44
anatomy was 85

Unknown Speaker 21:51
What was he like? Things that you remember about him are

Unknown Speaker 22:00
just easygoing, easygoing, and the way he got through summer and winter in the summer, he had all kinds of machinery laying around. So, he tried to start it up in the summer, and if it wouldn't start then he tried to fix it make that as projects and he would never spend too long on any one project. He'd never mowed the lawn all on the same day, you do a little bit and go inside and have a cup of tea, maybe do some more but leave something the next day. And so in the winter, when he couldn't really go outside he would have off three or four clocks that he would take the backs out of and try to fix because that's how he kept occupied and watch TV. And we used to none of us had our own telephone so we'd have to use his phone for anything. And then we'd have a cup of tea or in my case he would always offer us a glass of cherry wine night was pretty good he liked having people around he was so non judgmental

Unknown Speaker 23:18
generation

Unknown Speaker 23:21
oh a lot is really judgmental. The older you get the less you care

Unknown Speaker 23:35
Okay,

Unknown Speaker 23:35
so here is Jackson picnic

Unknown Speaker 23:45
sweet they all look so hot. The club you had to where not not expose your arms and not expose your legs. So this must be anyone's

Unknown Speaker 24:05
job his name was Mrs. Jackson. Margaret and the other sister little family

Unknown Speaker 24:35
the Jackson Woman

Unknown Speaker 24:41
Oh yeah, that one's cool. No. But there's a picture in the album of Stanley with that dog.

Unknown Speaker 24:57
Mother

Unknown Speaker 25:25
were lots of trees in the backdrop therapy before dance Kevin was built I guess

Unknown Speaker 25:34
that was like before the tennis court or anything right when they were building the house because that's so close and the house is right there

Unknown Speaker 25:51
in the picture there

Unknown Speaker 25:52
tend to send back to the relatives in England crazy and wild

Unknown Speaker 26:11
kids on the beach

Unknown Speaker 26:18
quarter so did they really not rent any rooms that summer good makes it nice to have a home it's so nice to

Unknown Speaker 26:37
sit out on the lawn people selling dinner

Unknown Speaker 27:01
wonder if that's when Dan was there and had a garden I don't know

Unknown Speaker 27:08
the tennis court is still trying to

Unknown Speaker 27:24
maintain

Unknown Speaker 27:31
thought that was all gardens behind I guess they grew a lot of vegetables themselves

Unknown Speaker 27:42
everybody didn't know they raised I mean people raise rabbits and chickens. They have meat sent from Saltspring

Unknown Speaker 28:04
a lot slower than we are now.

Unknown Speaker 28:09
You want me to go through and look for some that you might like more recent ones but

Unknown Speaker 28:16
if you'd like some whatever whatever you need to have information about I haven't got another five minutes Okay, let's

Unknown Speaker 28:37
go Yeah. Elliot.

Unknown Speaker 28:58
Dawn was there that must have been about 7978 79. Stanley told me Carolyn was looking after Stanley told me it wasn't not particularly a nice guy. And Stanley had an aneurysm, major artery to his stomach got blocked. And Stuart brands came to use the telephone and found him lying on the floor and with blood and stuff like that. So I think George Tony was the ambulance in those days. So we called George Tolley they moved him to Salt Springs. And from Salt Spring they took him to Victoria and he was already 90 by them. So I said to Tommy, should I find should I found the niece and let her know and Tommy had always thought they were just after Stan here's money. Tommy said No don't. Well, I chose to phone instead and let them know that Stanley was in a critical condition in the hospital so that when they developed an interest in Stanley again, you look at that sort of crossroads of where one decision one phone call has made a big difference in your life and other people's lives. And mean making that phone call meant that done when he took an interest in Stanley. They came over they subdivided some of his property, they built a house. They moved her father over here for his last few years. And since they already had an old man they were cooking for they have Stanley over for dinner every night. So and they spent a couple of years while they were building living upstairs with Stanley. So then, having already done subdividing of Stanley's property made it easier for all of us to approach sternly about buying property. See, you don't you don't approach an old man that's 90 years old saying, Well, you might die someday can can we buy some property off you? It's really bad taste. So anyways, they sort of set the tone for us doing that. So that was just how things worked out. Because still we had that aneurysm

Unknown Speaker 31:30
thanks for him that he had some family

Unknown Speaker 31:35
that sure was good food. He would just have frozen fish and chips otherwise ice cream cookies. But he lived to be 95.

Unknown Speaker 31:51
The property like the property you have now that was all families

Unknown Speaker 31:56
from Andrew VX dune screencapture.

Unknown Speaker 32:06
Do you have to remember to

Unknown Speaker 32:11
have effects and used to take a lot of photos so I'm not sure she we used to have in the days when I would organize dances at the hall. We used to have the band's stay over at Stanley play put them up in the cancer on couches. So we had a lot of comings and goings. Heather was around a lot to have been

Unknown Speaker 32:40
there sure. Okay. Well thanks
