Original House on Point of Alpha Lake

This photograph shows a house on a point at Alpha Lake during wintertime. The house is almost certainly that of Dr. & Grace Naismith. Annotations in pen on the reverse of the image read: "Original house on point of Alpha Lake," "about 1930" and "Built by Dr. returned from war." A separate annotation in pencil reads, "possibly Dr. Naismith and Grace."

House on Alpha Lake

This photograph shows a house on Alpha Lake in the wintertime with two women standing in front of it. The annotation on the reverse of the photograph reads, "House on Alpha Lake." The house appears to be Dr & Grace Naismith's house, although this is unconfirmed.

The two women are possibly Myrtle Philip and Grace Naismith, as referred to in the card catalog for PHILIP-1986-0006 (stored as WMA P86.006 PHILIP).

Letter from Jenny Jardine to Echo-Marie Fawks (nee Betts) and her husband, Don - April 7, 1995

Letter from Jenny Jardine to Echo-Marie Fawks (nee Betts) and her husband, Don, written on April 7, 1995. In the letter, Jenny recounts her and her family's life living in the Whistler Valley between the 1900s and the 1940s - at Rainbow Lodge, Mons, Alpha Lake, and finally at 34 1/2 Mile [Function Junction area]. Stories she recounts include their relationship with the Philips and Harry Horstman, hikes on Sproatt Mountain and to Cheakamus Lake, mail delivery, schooling, scavenging berries along the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, and Howard Gebhart and her brothers' serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. She finishes the letter talking about her recent trip to Northern BC, the Yukon, and Alaska. The letter was enclosed in an envelope with notes written by Louise Smith regarding the letter's custodial history. The letter was given to Louise by Echo-Marie (Louise's cousin), who lived with her husband, Don, in Whistler from c. 1990 to c. 2012.
