Oldtimer’s reunion
draws party of
long-time residents

The qualification for
‘‘Oldtimer’’ status in
Terrace is 30 years or
more of living in the
community, and well
over 100 of these long-
term residents got
together recently at the
annual Terrace
_Oldtimers’ Reunion.

‘‘There’s a lot of
history here,’’ said one
participant, gesturing
across the crowded ban-
quet room. The guest
book read like an index
of Terrace place names.

Some of these people
arrived by riverboat,
others came with the
building of the railroad;
some were born here,
others from distant lands
had to adapt to a new.
culture, language and
lifestyle. They worked in
mines, felled monumen-
tal spruce and cedar in
the seemingly unlimited
forests, built sawmills,
raised children,
established homes, and
created a unique com-
munity. They are a liv-
ing, growing part of Ter-
race’s history, its
heritage and its future.

Acquaintances renewed
The Terrace Oldtimers' Reunion was an opportunity to reminisce and renew old ac-
quaintances.
