Some pros were brought in to the Chilliwack Airport Cafe to help celebrate a birthday....Employee first class Jeanine was honored with the famous classic "Happy birthday to you" Elvis and Paul were in the area and agreed to help with the event...some fine back up singers rounded out the little band that was conducted by a Flat Earth Member of high rank

There are some that will think this is not true...

Flat Earth Outing

Wow ..Spring has sprung....the good weather prompted these fine members of Chilliwack Airport Flat Earth Society to go for a hike and a picnic into our local hillsides...This snap is taken on the top of Cheam Mountain...we had just arrived and set up the barbeque....we later cooked up a fine salmon that our sr. member had caught that morning. We were visited by a jr. member in his speedy aircraft....I reckon he was checking to see if we made it okay....The outing went very smoothly although the barbeque was a little awkward to transport.

Noon boat from New Westminister

I went out to the Vedder River yesterday to see how the fishing was ...there were a few Steelheaders out enjoying the nice spring weather...I just happened to be at the bridge when the noon paddle wheeler came in to drop off supplies for the local farmers...it is always an enjoyable site to see the big boat dock.

1936 plymouth

I bought a car exactly like this in 1955...I think it cost me a hundred dollars....a 36 plymouth.... it ran fairly well but the paint was bad on it....a friendly small gas station operator donated space in his service bay after hours and with the help of some school pals we painted it primer grey and dug up some pink from somewhere for the wheels ...The paint was expensive...6 dollars a quart.... it took two quarts as I remember.....the original car was not in as bad a shape  as the one in the picture .....but the grey did it wonders and we were very proud of the results obtained with careful painting with a brush.....the flat grey paint hid all the sin .....I drove that car to school in grade 12..... yup..

Relocate the Museum

  We came up with a great idea in Chilliwack.....It seemed like a well thought out move if we relocated  the Museum to five corners. The traffic is from five areas...perfect for the residents to enjoy the fine events of the past in an area flush with wonderful history.The cost of this undertaking is offset by renting the area above the clock tower to the Coca Cola Co....Our fine clock is moved onto the roof of the Museum and presto a fine plan comes into being.
