December 10, 200718 yr If it was in the past 31 years I'll know them! G.C. is a small remote town! VicTony Robson (electrician at the coal mine) think his Dad was a manager there also.Tony is now on Vancouver Island, visited him last summer.We never got to Grand Cache but we stayed in Edmonton and went through the Icefields etc.Very nice place, bet its cold there now.
December 11, 200718 yr I remember Tony, he was underground I was an electrician on surface at that time, I new his father after he married a good friend of ours. (dart players!) He was the mine manager until he retired and also lives in B.C. and regularly visits his daughter across the road from us, I believe they were from Ashington.Grande Cache is about 5 hours west of Edmonton (our local city) you would have passed through Jasper which is only about 2 hours south of us but also in the mountains. Yes it has been cold -30c but it's only -5c today. How did you like it over here? Vic

We have visited Canada and the US a lot as my brother lives in California (ex Ashington pit electrician) and we have freinds in Ontario, Alberta and BC. Tony offered me a job at the mine at Campbell River, but I have a lot going on here, and to be honest I like living in Bedlington! but i can see the attraction in moving out there.Are you from Bedlington origionally?
December 12, 200718 yr Bly--!! but my wife was from Bedlington, we married there, and lived there for a few years, Father-in-law worked at Dr Pit.Vic
