The flip side of Nam, we had the communs, free love and all the weed you could smoke, B.C. had it's fair share to tar paper settlements. I know of one commun that still exisited 5 years ago just east of North Bend B.C. they are hanging in there on a soap stone mining claim.Originally Posted by Bear
Hey Gus, I can't help but askin, after I saw your pic the other day (had nightmares ever since! lol ; ) I know that was an old photo, nothing like the start page of your recent video, with whiter hair. You were in BC/VI in the 70s, did you ever meet a man named Bob Weston? He spent the 60s in Nam/Tokyo(for repair & recuperation) Marine/3 tours,from Alabama, but early/mid 70s in BC/VI. I met him late 70s in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore drilling, he spoke highly of that place, and his travels there. Just wondered if you might have ever met him, you two seem lots alike
I did'nt reach the Island until the mid 90's. girl friends son was gunned down in a parking lot and she wanted to see justice being carried out by attending the trial. The trigger man got 25 years without parole along with a deportation order on completion of his sentence.
Lived in the Island for 5 years, Kate stayed when I decided to move back to the mainland were I hooked up with Becky the artist with the Harley living in an Aitsream trailer. I had a woman lawyer who one day commented that I went through a lot of girld friends my comment was, why Anna are you know offering to look after my sexual needs as well my legal needs.
Sometimes I should leran to keep ,my mouth shut, theres a husband and wife team that live nearby also visit the Ranch as we call it. It's Russ's 4 thousand acre hobby ranch with elk and buffalo, she asked me how business was going with a smirk on her face, musta read in the papers of the recent decline in metal prices. Told her I was changing direction, before I could elaborate on my photography plans she quipped you running for Prime Minister now, told her I was over qualified. This woman like to be catty at others expense, she may have found her match in the beared long haired dude.
My humour comes from my mothers english blood.
You can put your nightmares to rest, I'm real and not a figment of your imaginantion.
After receiving my Cambo 8 x 10 large format camera realized it was much to heavy for feild work, yesterday I purchased smaller Cambo 4 x 5 now I"m looking at a digital back for it and also pricing out the HP Z3200PS printer in a 24 and 44 inch model.
That HP Z3200 printerwill print on almost any media you can feed it through the sheet feeder, Silk, Canvas, Hard Board amoung the many types of paper and acrylic sheets available. I think this new hobby is going to be very enjoyable with perhaps some profit to be made along the way.
