My grandmother was Mary Menzies, who Reverend and Mrs Scott had adopted as a Scottish orphan in 1891 or so. <br />There was a more formal picture of the Scott family with my grandmother that was at my cousins house, she died recently and I'm trying to track it down. Once (or if) I find it, I'll be happy to send you a copy.<br /> If you have a clearer picture of the above photo, I'd greatly appreciate a copy. <br /><br />With best wishes<br /><br />Peter Jardine<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367243121665336328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10606601.post-28404508149135632302022-01-01T16:32:39.546-08:002022-01-01T16:32:39.546-08:00How very interesting to come across booklets such ...How very interesting to come across booklets such as these!

I also see that my brother, Dwayne Waddell, posted a comment on this article years ago (above) as he passed away in 2015. Dr. McTavish was my Dad's (Boyd Waddell's) aunt. When I was 10, my grandfather, Thomas Andrew Waddell (Dr.McTavish's brother), gave me a shoebox full of Dr. McTavish's letters from China because I told him I was interested in stamp collecting. Grandpa also used to talk to me about the family geneaology I became interested in stamp collecting as a result and it became a lifetime hobby. Unfortunately, I was interested in only the stamps at the time & I didn't keep the letters, I just wanted the stamps at the time, but now I realize that the lifetime descriptions in her letters would have been interesting reading. I do have 2 with the letters, and I treasure these because they were from my great aunt to her sister, Annie Waddell. Thank you again for this info which I'll use in my other hobby, geneaology, also as result of my many days with my dear grandpa & grandma.

I just checked the Vancouver School Board Heritage website and I don't see many photos there from our era. But have a look. I know a friend was encouraging people to send in digital photos. https://blogs.vsb.bc.ca/heritage/archives/elementary-schools/simon-fraser/ Not sure what's happened with that project. I did send in mine and my brother's. He was younger. I don't think the school had kept old photos. My brother did contact someone there about that. My photos are on Flickr. Linked above. I certainly remember Mr Meadows. I sang at his retirement do at the school. There are articles about him in the Vancouver papers. M.

My lasting memories of being part our our winning the Vancouver Softball and Soccer Championship! Our Principal, Mr S Meadows made me the official bell ringer ( manuallyoperated back then 🤗) Our family came to Vancouver shortly after being released from our Intern Camp in Minto Mine and Mr Meadows recognizing this, gave me the honour of being the official bell ringer! Our school had many athletes and we went on to play Little League baseball when it first came to Vancouver! Over 5000 came for tryouts and happy to say all the Simon Fraser kids won a spot on one of four teams! Nice accomplishment!<br /> <br />I was wondering if the school has pictures of ALL the graduating classes hung on walls or perhaps contained in a book? <br />Ted Kagetsu Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010472714606346590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10606601.post-4904757020288240522020-10-02T20:26:53.260-07:002020-10-02T20:26:53.260-07:00I enjoyed your post about a subject that I know li...I enjoyed your post about a subject that I know little about.
