All Pictures on all my web pages, are now Visibly Watermarked,

And some have all 3 !
All my pages are now Right Click, copy and paste, disabled.
If this unauthorized use of pictures from this site continues,
I will remove the whole thing,
as there is no point in keeping it online.
I ask everyone that enjoys free history sites,
to start policing these violations.
If we don't stop this, no one will donate pictures to me or anyone,
and we all lose.
If you see one of my pictures on facebook, etc.
tell them to remove it, if they don't in a reasonable time,
please email me the culprit,
and I will add them to my
Wall of Shame
page.
Trust me,
I regret having to do this!
TERRACE
The Central office in 1969 when I came to town,
was located on the north end of the 3236 Kalum St
old Phone Mart Building, now the Salvation Army thrift store.
Fraser Sutherland did the engineering on the move of this CO,
up to the new GTD5 Switch in the basement of the Primary Center,
or cement prison on the hill.
It is still there today (2006)
Originally the CO was located in the first BC Tel building
on Lakelse Ave, where Wilkinson Business machines,
old Cannon building is, down from the old Police Station.
Bill Reynolds will have to clarify that one,
as he worked there when he started at BC Tel.
It wasn't a SxS Co but an old Cord board I imagine.
Will add that story when I find it.
There were many CO Maintenance men over the years
Will add a few here as I remember them.
