Doco's "Slocan History Series" is fast taking shape.
Booklet 1: "Boom Days in the Slocan" (last summer)
Booklet 2:"The Beginnings of the Bosun Ranch" (today)
Booklet 3: "Industry and the Good Life around Idaho Peak" (today)
Booklet 4: "Mist and Green Leaves: Japanese Canadians" (due from the printer any minute)
The Raven's Nest in New Denver has two fine displays, and Marsh and Ule say they are selling. Every day!

Booklet 4 is missing. Marsh says people have been asking for it. There was a Japanese Internees' bus tour here last Wednesday (including my friend Joane Sunahara who was at Lemon Creek as a 6-10-year-old and had never been back). Doco talked about the booklet at the Bosun Hall Internees' dinner - so lots of interest. Marsh (Taeko's son-in-law) is very interested in New Denver history, so is enjoying talking people into buying (and reading) the booklets!
Will there be any left when we get there? Should I have some put aside? Surely next of kin should have some privileges.
