Hi Wynn, could you send the below response to Willow out to
<mailto:dsp-ea-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> dsp-ea-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for me?
It was rejected by DSP-EA- <mailto:General@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
General@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. The problem is that as I am sending this email, the
computer says it is sending from my telusplanet address, which is registered
with the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity DSP-EA- <mailto:General@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
General@xxxxxxxxxxxxx list. However after I send it, it changes my sending
address to one of my other addresses & it gets rejected.
I have asked our IT Department (my son Roy) to help me solve this problem.
Dennis

Willow, its great to read your recollections of travel in BC before the
Rodgers Pass was built.
I remember our family driving the Big Bend in our 1951 Chrysler Windsor
4-door sedan, on our way to Shawinigan Lake, Vancouver Island. We drove the
Big Bend, crossed on a ferry & drove into Washington State to get to
Vancouver. I was 6 years old. Only the east side of the Big Bend road
survives today as a forestry road. The Rodger's Pass replaced the Big Bend
route in 1962. The west side of the Big Bend was by-passed by dam
construction in the 1970s & 1980's. Mom related how she & Dad were
travelling the Big Bend in 1936 in his 1935 Chrysler roadster. As they
approached a hairpin curve going up, a bus appeared coming down the curve,
sliding on the gravel, heading right at them. Dad steered as far to the edge
of the precipice on their right as he dared. The bus barely missed them. Mom
opened her door & could not even see the road surface, all she could see was
air! There were no barriers in those days.

The next segment of my journey to Red Deer will take me over BC's border
with Alberta. My visa and passport are in order so there should be no
problem at the crossing. Having removed all lefty bumper stickers from the
car, there is really no sign of my political point of view.
Sort of like crossing at Checkpoint Charlie back in Cold War days...
The first day of travels started from the home of two of my choir mates in
Maple Ridge who gave me a wonderful farewell. BTW I sang alto and actually
hit and held high f during a concert at Christ Church Cathedral, one
fabulous moment. From there, the long trek to Revelstoke. Not much traffic
at all. The trip from Golden to Radium reminded me of how truly magnificent
this part of the world is as the valley broadened out. Back in the day,
that trip was over the Big Bend highway, all gravel and a short ferry trip.
The cabins and hotels that used to circle the hot springs are gone, replaced
with forest. A bit sad. I recall discovering Stanley Black's Orchestra
with Slaughter on Tenth Avenue on the juke box In one of those hotels and
playing it over and over again.
Changing the itinerary, I shall only remain here for three days. Banff and
Calgary lie ahead. When I lived in Calgary, I biked to Banff on a Saturday,
camped overnight on Tunnel Mountain, and returned on Sunday. I used a
recumbent for the long distance trips.
Now, forgive me for these posts of my present travels. Being solo in motel
rooms gives me lots of times to remember the past. You are not obliged to
read them.
My very first girl friend, long married, awaits in Calgary. Over fifty
years ago we dated. She adopted my little Daisy Dog and I am looking
forward to seeing both of them again. Fifty years!?
Willow
