Zip how long ago did you live in the puddle. I lived there most of my life there and moved to the island 5 1/2 years ago.

Preppy you got to come out to the west coast for the big waves.

Canadian98 Some friends of mine were just in Bella Bella Didnt catch any fish but said the prawning and crabbing was fantastic.

Yeah the fishing is just picking up here now and it is still a bit hit and miss. The crabing and prawning is usually good here if you dont get your traps stolen.

Graduated in 1979 should have been 1978. School wasn't high on my list of things to do I guess. My dad had his shop on Mackenzie Ave. I think my dad trained the guy on the bottom of Fox Mountain. I think his name was Lee.
