Photos left were described by Bircham VanHorne as his grandparent's (Emma & Fred's) retirement home in Mamquam (between Squamish & Brackendale, BC). "4 acres, 1 cow, 1 horse, a bunch of chickens and some bees ... for a short while. Fred was allergic to bees." Bircham laughed as he remembered, "The horse was curious about the bee hive and came close to look. A bee flew up his nose and stung him. The horse reared up and in a fury with head shaking galloped off into the barn." Across the road (in the trees), Bircham explained, "was an Indian reserve. Edna's sister Doris lived down the road." |
