DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN?
CasstaR 1952

Wm. (Bill) Storie

Bill and his family lived at
Quartz Creek along with the Hope
family before the asbestos era. He
came in to this country to prospect
hoping to find gold in them thar
hills, he did, but not gold.

In 1951, Bill had a contract
with Cassiar Asbestos Corp., to
build the lower campsite. This
consisted of log buildings and pre-
fabs, also a few frame ones. During
the winter he did other jobs, such
as electrical wiring and in the
Powerhouse.

In 1952 when the mill was far
enough com leted for machinery to
be installed, Bill was one of the
men to work on this project. He
went from this to be an operator
for a short while, then to mill
mechanic until he decided to quit
in 1955,

Bill still returns to Cassiar
to look after his business interests
in the area. He has a son, Robert
attending school here and a married
daughter, Pat Borsato who works at
the bank.

Rupert McKenzie

Rupert came to Cassiar in early
January, 1952 from Central Patricia
Mines in north western Ontario.

He had worked there for 12 years.

In those days the big vans
could not travel the Old Cassiar
Road so the supplies and equipment
had to be off loaded at Watson Lake.
It was put in a warehouse there and
then picked up by Rupert and brought
to Cassiar. He also picked up the
new employees at the plane.

The return trip could take as
much as 3 days.
