ant, has been in Cassiar since June 1966. During the
years, Lothar has contributed greatly to the life in
Cassiar, more recently as past President of the Lions
Club and Zone Chairman, Vice President of the Curling
Club, and he is currently a Director of the Cassiar Com-
munity Club and a volunteer fireman.

Lothar, a resident of Canada for the past eighteen
years, feels that the reason he doesn't get homesick is
because the Canadian beer tastes just as good as the
German beer once you get used to the taste.

When asked for a comment on Cassiar, Lothar replied
"I like the place, especially the fresh air except when
it blows west off the tailings pile."

Editors Note: We are glad to have you in Cassiar
Lothar, and we hope the next time you enter a beauty con-
test you get better than third place.
