B10 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 8, 1990

For the last nine years the

Oldtimers Reunion and Ban-
. quet has been an annual event,
and it is now as popular as
ever. The event is only adver-
tised localiy, but every year
former Terrace residents show
up from all over. For them it is
an opportunity to meet old
friends and share stories about
“the good ol’days”, and catch
up with what is happening
now. Many stories were told at
this year’s banquet July 28.
‘Alec Houlden was the M.C.
and did a great job.

One of the people attending
was oldtimer Ted Johnston |
with some members of his
family. For the last couple of
years, Ted has been writing a
book and with the help of his
family and especially his
daughter Chris Harrison of
Prince Rupert, the book was
finished. Some copies were
brought to the reunion, One
was raffled off among the
oldtimers. The stipulation was
that only persons who had liv-
ed in Terrace before 1918 were
eligible for the raffle. The
reason being that the book
deals only with people and
events up to 1918.

The odds of winning were
very good as there were only
six names in the draw.
Delphine Warner, Ted’s
daughter, did the honours and
drew Floyd Frank’s name as

the winner. The other book
found a very special place. It
was Ted’s wish that it should
go to Heritage Park. An of-

” Bits’n Pieces
by Alie Toop

ficial presentation was made to
park director Mamie Kerby.
She was more than pleased to
receive a copy. The book now
is forever part of Terrace’s
history and is displayed
upstairs in the reading room in
the Kalum Lake Hotel at
Heritage Park.

Every year the reunion com-
mittee looks around for
something unique for the door
prize raffle and as a gift to the
person who comes from the
farthest away. This year it was
decided to purchase Kermode
Bear plates by Joe Haits. As
luck would have it, Joe Haits
won the door prize. He in turn
presented the plate to Julia
Little. Sanna Ross Gaffney
of Boone, North Carolina,
U.S.A. qualified for the other
plate.

Sanna Ross Gafiney 15 tne
granddaughter of Annie Ross,
for whom Rosswood is named.
Sanna’s mother taught school
in Copper City and later at
Kalum school. This was before
she married Sanna’s father,
Frank Ross. She was Miss Fair-
bairn then. .

Some of the pupils taught by
Miss Fairbairn were at the re-

_ union and many pictures were

taken. Aileen Frank, a teacher

_ in Terrace for many years, had

her picture taken with some of
her pupils of long ago.

Over 160 peopie attended.
this year’s reunion. Out-of-
town old timers attending were

Have you ever wondered: “
what it would be like to win a
shopping spree? Imagine win-
ning three minutes of unlimited
shopping at the grocery store,
all the things we could put in
our carts and not have to pay
for, You’d probably get
enough food in three minutes
to last for months (depending
on the size of your family).

The Co-op has extended their |

shopping hours. They are now
open every day, except Sunday,
from & in the morning. Shop-
ping nights, when they are open
‘til 9, are Thursday and Friday.
Something unique at the Co-op
are the shopping carts they
brought in for the small fry.
And so to celebrate their
Thursday night opening, they
had a draw for a shopping
spree for the six-and-under
crowd, Four-year-old Jenna
Poole was the lucky winner.
