If one or two people are missing, it could throw off the entire sound of the band. ’ The community band has competed at four national MusicFest competitions, winning a bronze, two silvers and most recently a gold in 1995. : The band has been trying to raise money by selling ad- vertising in its programme for the 97-98 concert season.

It was a tough job and Mary worked hard with an axe, hand saw and shovel. She also oversaw the burning of brush, hauling buckets of water back and forth 30 a wildfire wouldn’t start. John and Mary eventually moved to Terrace, living in a tent till they could build a cabin. They had a huge garden and "YVON NE MOEN Mary prew lots of strawberries, which they would ship to Prince Rupert.

After her husband’s death Mary stayed on in their McConnel home. She eventually moved into a Smithers nursing home, and in 1987 moved to Terraceview. Mary died on March 21 at the age of 103.

I wish my family could get along. My kids are grown up, but they still fight. J still think I am very lucky. My children live near me. I get to see them when I want. Many of my friends’ kids live far away. They don’t see them very much, maybe once or twice a year. My neighbour has two sons. They live in town, They never come over to visit. He doesn’t see them except at Christmas. Everyone is just too busy. I have a friend whose family is far far away. They live in another coun- try. We have adopted her into our family. She comes to all our family parties. She is called “Granny” by the kids. - Some people don’t like their family. We can’t chose our family, but maybe we can make friends with our family, or a family of friends. Another story starter - put your pen to the paper and write for five minutes without stopping.
