Blogging & Life
On the occasion of my belated fourth blogiversary, I got to thinking of all the great people I've gotten to 'meet'. And what a small world it really is once you toss in the internet. Take Temujin for example. I met him through the Red Ensign Brigade, and come to discover he lives in the same small town in northern B.C. that my mum is from! A place most people have never even heard of, but I met him blogging. (if you look at this photo on the website, that's right up the block from my late grandparent's house.) And on this page they talk a bit about my great grandparents, Fred and Annie Heal:
Gabriel Lacroix became the first non-aboriginal man in the area, arriving about 1900 to farm on the east side of the Bulkley River. Then, in 1903, the Fred Heal family settled on the east side of Tyhee Lake. In a few years, settlement began in earnest. The now-vanished village of Aldermere was staked in 1904, followed by Telkwa three years later.
If I'm feeling motivated while avoiding finishing the story I'm working on, I'll do some more "blogging and life" posts :)
