Over. 160 former Terrace residents gathered at the Pros- pect Lake Hall in Saanich on ‘November 12 for the third bi- ennial ‘Terrace Night’’ party. The event, the brain child of Bruce and Debbie Carruthers and Frank and-Kathleen Skid-. more, has become very popular and attracted former Terracites from as far away as Kamloops, - Kelowna and Port Hardy. A large contingent came from the Lower Mainland and many from ail over Vancouver Island. This year’s festivities were co- ordinated by Andy and Irene Owens. Fred Weber acted as Master of Ceremonies, The eve- ning featured a pot-luck dinner, considerable visiting with old friends and acquaintances, and ended with a dance. Some of the highlights in- cluded a letter of greeting from Mayor Jack Talstra on behalf of the City of Terrace, who also provided 200 Kermode bear lapel pins which were quickly snapped up; also, the self- introduction of all present tell- ing when they lived in Terrace and the highlights of their time there. Prizes were presented to: the person who lived in Terrace first (Betty McAdams — 1920); the person who lived in Terrace the longest (Irene Owens — 42 years); the person who came the furthest (Bud French — Kelow- ' na). Unfortunately, nobody cur- rently living in Terrace was able to attend. There were. ‘many strained vocal chords by the end of the evening, but rest assured there were considerable logs relogged, lumber recut, business redone, sports events rehashed, children and grandchildren boasted about, and old times revisited. A great time was enjoyed by all!
