The Chef edited the local newspaper even from Switzerland and is still a trustee for an arts charity he helped to set up. If things ever get back to almost normal I think I will start helping with our local archives. It’s amazing how quickly things get forgotten. It’s a wonder anyone remembers the Battle of Hastings (1066) when you see how things that happened a mere 50 years ago. If you have interesting photos - and many of us do - we should look for a local archive to make sure they are saved for posterity.

There is a Facebook page in Powell River for people who need help and people who can help meet up while still keeping physical distancing. That's the beauty of a small town. Here in Bellingham we actually feel more isolated because of the vast urban sprawl around us. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-68045941279676885402020-04-24T18:09:42.985-04:002020-04-24T18:09:42.985-04:00So nice to know that there are so many people will...So nice to know that there are so many people willing to help out in so many different ways.<br />I join you in saying a big Thank You to all of them.happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.com
