Charlie first came to Terrace in 1927 with parents Harry and Mabel and sisters Doris (Dominato) and Peggy (Jackson). Brother Alex was born after the family settled here.

After many years working in the logging and lumber in- dustries, Charlie worked as an engineer at Skeenaview and then at the Vocational school. He moved to Smithers in 1976 where he worked at the cour- thouse until his retirement four years later.

He spends his retirement hours with his work horses and doing some horse ‘logging. You'll remember secing Charlie and his team compete in the Fall Fair’s heavy horse pull,
