The Gorge of Summers Gone 
Just finishing the Gorge of Summers Gone. Love it. Grew up in Vic but left in 1978. Back now living on Murray Dr across from Christie Pt where my grandmother and her sisters and parents camped in the 1900/teens. Daniels family – AJ was harbourmaster/Yarrows, dtr Muriel was swimmer (found pix of her in your book!). They lived on Raynor/VicWest in house AJ built -still there. Are you doing any tours of the Gorge area in the future? So cool to find so many references to things and people I know. Thank you for this ‘labour of love’…so much work finding and assembling all the info/photos, etc. Linda Baker 778-265-9877 Dec 31/17
