Corbin King ©

As our-senior this month, we - have
chosen Corbin King. Corbin has resided.
- in this area’ for many-years, in. fact, I
have heard people say. that his: mother
had one of the | very best gardens in town
for many: years. I also-remember him-|-
saying that as a young man, he had a job
\. that entailed him going to New-Remo in | _
iy. very -deep snow and ‘the best way to get {.
there was across the top of the Bench and down the mountain on

the other side. After moving around some,. he started working. atl

the Terrace Co-op and retired from there.as ‘manager quite a few | -
years ago. He and his wife Lillian have beén active mémbers.of |.
the Happy Gang for many years ‘and’ Corby has béen-a very
helpful part of the finance committee for several years. Good luck,
