FAREWELL TO -

A number of friends, well wishers, and
work associates met at House 130 on the
evening of May 18th to say goodbye to
Bill Giachino, Mine Superintendent and
Bob Leigh, Assistant Mine Superintendent.

In our group picture of mine personnel
above, Bill displays a mineral inlayed
coffee table, one of the two gifts he
received from Rupert McKenzie on behalf
of the Mine Staff. Other gifts were
presented to both Bill and Bob by Mr. '‘B.

#,Kovacs, Production Superintendent, who |
‘in his usual wit and humor told of Bill's

background and experience before he came
to Cassiar and also his achievements
during 445 years of service here. In turn,

,,kne also told of Bob's background. Locally

‘Bill ‘served a term as President of the
Centennial Arena Assoc. and Bob served a
term as Vice-President of the Community
Club. Both Bill and Bob were well known,
active personalities in the community
and will be missed very much.

Even our Past Governor, though known to
be sparing in commentries of proise, said
he trusted that we will be able to get
as good a man to be Bill's replacement.

Both Bill and Bob expressed their
gratitude for all the help and cooperat-
ion received during their stay at Cassiar
and wished all continued prosperity.

Stealing the show, as seen in our next
picture, a late arrival to the party -
our well known man of many faces turned
up with a belated gift which he presented
to Bill. He said this was on behalf of
the Equipment Garage Staff.
