I will remove the whole thing,

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 loose.
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,

1980-1985 at least)
(left for Terrace, now retired in Terrace)
Pat Whitten became supervisor in Kitimat in spring of 1991.
Also Jes Anderson was head man for a while
he came in 1990, left in spring of 1991 to the QC islands
*Sad to say but Bill Gervan committed suicide

Sad part of the telephone history in Kitimat,
Bill was a real nice guy, and dedicated worker.
He was also a member of the Local 33 Executive.
