Keep up the local history

Writer thanks columnist Barbara Roden for including local history in her bi-monthly stories.

Dear Editor

Thank you to Barbara Roden for her wonderful column “Golden Country presents – Past, Present and Beyond.”

When we came to live at Loon Lake in early 1989, I enjoyed learning the history and hearing the many stories from its founding pioneers and ‘old timers’ who were still living on Loon Lake Road at that time. But there are many tales from the surrounding villages and settlements which make up the mosaic of this whole area, and a lot which I have not heard yet.

I find “Golden Country presents” is written in a style which is warm and friendly and transports me right into the story. I really enjoyed the Cariboo Christmas Tree and the Gold at Scotty Creek series.

I am looking forward to reading more in the future.
