But after a few years, it fizzled out arid nothing too serious was done about it until 1982. The Terrace Oldtimers’ Reunions were revived and they © _ have been a success since; - Have you’ looked along the banks. of the Skeena lately? They’re lined with people of all ages, shapes, size and na- tionalities. A large number come from Europe and a large number come from Montana, US.A. | “I got to meet two of the | most delightful people a person will ever meet. Their names are “Gene and Angie Tripp and — __ they’ re from Missoula, Mon- tana. I heard about them and I found them at the Rainbow. Ton. - All fishermen are story tellers “and Gene is no different. He’s - been coming to Terrace to fish, " every year with no exception, for over 35 years. He “remembers Terrace, as us Old - Timers do. He remembers all - the unpaved roads, and that the town had only one motel ‘and that’s where he stayed for _ $4.00 per night. There was only one sporting goods. store in. Terrace then, and he - . remembers this red-haired " fellow behind the counter’ _ waiting on him. This fellow -- also let them use their car so . they could get around. Gene ~ and his friends were pretty well the-first ones to come heré and ‘ through word of mouth, the Montana population fishing _here has grown each year. This year it was like being at a big reunion, there were so - many, The Tripp’s also have made a lot of Canadian . friends. Each year they meet at: the river. Angie Tripp has been accom- _ panying her husband for: the ‘last 15 years and is also an avid ... fisherman. The biggest fish they had caught up to two years ago was 65 Ibs. and was caught by Angie. That record has since been broken by her husband with a 72-pounder. This year they were hoping to’ beat that record, but it was not to be. The biggest fish they caught this year was 48 lbs. — and guess who caught it... - Angie Tripp did. By the time this paper comes ._ out they will be on their way back home. But the Tripp’s will be back next year and the next, as long as they’re healthy. When they get home, Angie will be cooking for a week, ‘because all the grandchildren - will be over to see them, and Gene Tripp will be getting _feady for hunting season. See you next year! | I'll be looking for you. This year’s Terrace Old- _timers’ Reunion was held in the “Odd Fellows Hall. People started arriving early, and soon it was evident that the number -of persons coming’ through the ‘door was greater than initially - expected. The first reunion was held in . Aug. 1966. ‘Although it was a _ Spatcof the momes 3 edition by Former residents have come from far and wide to be here * and this year was no exception. They came from Washington state, Calgary, White Rock, Haney, Barriere, B.C., North. . Vancouver, Kamloops; :Prince-.-* -: Rupert, North Carolina, West Vancouver, Aldergrove, Toron- to and Surrey. The event was catered by the Terrace Rebekah Lodge. There was no standing in line for dinner — the meal - was served to everybody at the . table. After the salad, the main course was roast beef, and for dessert, a delicious strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. Stories were being told, many childhood memories recalled and amidst all the laughter and happiness, cameras were click- ing and flashing. There were prizes given out to the oldest person present (Harvey Doll won that category hands down), to the person who came the farthest (Dot Foy from North Carolina had no com- petition in that department), and to the person who had liv- ‘ed longest in Terrace con- tinuously... after some compar- -- ing and discussion, Floyd. Frank won in that category. Then there was the draw for the door prize, which was won _by yours truly. All the prizes were beautiful photographs of scenery around Terrace by Ed- na Cooper, and were much ap- preciated. As all good things have to come to an end, so did ‘this evening, but not before most promised to be back next year! Next time you go downtown and pass by ‘‘The Willows” apartments on Kalum Street, take a good look. The building and the grounds are very well cared for and that does not happen by itself. Mrs. Helen Windsor has lived in Terrace for 35 years, and 11 of them in * the Willows. She is full of praise for the- caretakers of this complex. They not only look after the building and the grounds, they also keep an eye on the seniors. Their names are Mel and Cecile Empson. They’re always ready to give the residents a helping hand when. needed. This year B.C. Housing and Management provided boxes, ~~ dirt and floweres for all the balconies in the complex. Any-— body who needed a hand with the planting: had only to call on- Mel or Cecile. The result was worth all the work: a beautiful array of flowers.in many colors: brighten up the place. © It is not exactly a dull place to live. The recreation room is. used for socializing, playing cards, crocheting or whatever the residents like to do, and on — Monday and Wednesday they play bingo for only pennies a card. The health nurses come | by regularly and so do the ‘homemakers. ° A librarian. visits every. three 7 - me weeks with, stacks of books, - and for the very ambitious ~ there is a garden in the back where the residents can get their hands into the dirt and - plant whatever they like. Mrs. Windsor feels that sometimes, some people deserve some |. recognition. Mel ‘and Cecile -Empson are: two-such people. - They are not only caretakers, _ . , they are also caregivers! ; oA modelling course spon: sored by the Terrace Parks and _ Recreation department was - oa held recently at the College. The morning classes were for ° the very young: 18 young peo- : ple in the 13.to 16.age group a registered for the afternoon. . class and 11 adults for the’ eves. ning class. Ann Marie O'Kane, _ an instructor with the Victoria. Von Kane school of modelling, .|— taught all the participants:" about fashions, hairstyle, ~ posture and poise, etiquette, . ~ social graces and modelling —— techniques. The grand finale of . the course was a fashion show, where the participants showed off their skills. Everybody agrees, when’ asked, that it has been a very worthwhile ex- perience. - A-week ago we buried a time capsule in our new addition at — the Terrace Review. On behalf of the Terrace Oldtimers’ Re- union, I put in a letter to all” the folks who will be here 100 years from now and enclosed a copy of the 1982 Oldtimers’ Reunion book. An enormous - wealth of information will burst from the capsule about ‘the people, the workplace, the . environment, the city of Ter- race and much more, when itis | opened a century from now, and all you Oldtimers will be part of this in spirit and print. Labour Day weekend prom- ises to be a weekend full of ac- * tivities this year. The loggers’ sports are being revived and will be- held in conjunction with the Fall Fair. The Downtown Lions and the Fall Fair Association are working very _ hard-on the organizing of it all. . ‘Mark the second and the third « of September on your calendar.
