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

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 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,
and I will add them to my

*Ron Strumecki was hired as a Radio man in Terrace,

He is now retired and living in the Armstrong BC area.
PBX Supervisor's were
Jack Greaves,
and Dave Carey (ca1980 at least)
When BTE was formed, Bill May was the supervisor, in PG,
Now Les "the big man" Sinnott I think has that job.
I have heard other names for Les, but will keep it tame here.
Jack Greaves once told me he was a professional
wrestler
in Winnipeg MB, before he became a telephone man.
This came up after a Hydro fellow showed up in town,
that he used to wrestle. Now the Hydro guy was 6ft++
and about 400lbs. Jack was 5ft+, and no where near 400lbs soaking wet.
They loved the mismatches in the early days of pro wrestling.
I remember drinking beer in the Lakelse Hotel at that time,
and the Hydro boys would always join us in those days.
This fellow told me to take my belt off, I was about 32" waist then,
and he put it around his ONE thigh, and the ends did not meet!
He was a big guy, but I guess he was a cat on the climbing hooks.
In those days challenges on climbing ability,
were as common as the arm wrestling challenges in the pub.
