in Coquitlam for his Grade 12
graduation. His grades
declined, which worried his
parents when they saw his most
recent report card. That led to
a dispute over Terry's future.

He told his father on Nov.
22 that he wanted to further
his education in art college. His
father, a retired jeweler, rejece-
ed the notion.

Wan didn’t return home
after school on Nov. 23. His
father found his personal phone
book and called David Lee, a
friend of Terry’s who lives in
West Vancouver. Lee’s parents
live in Taiwan.

Lee told the elder Wan that
Terry was at his house. Then
Lee abruptly changed his story.
Wan later visited Lee, who said
another friend, Tony Wu, had
driven Wan to 22nd Street and
Marine’ Drive around mid-
night. Wan was carrying two
bags of clothes. Bur, according
to Peter Wan, he had no credit
cards or personal identification,

have had as much as $40€ in
cash, a gift from his grandpar-
ents.

The family is not aware that
he had any: friends elsewhere in
Canada or the U.S., though he
told a female friend in West
Vancouver before he went
missing that he was planning to
go to Boston for university.

Peter Wan said he has

_reconsidered and is willing to

:support Terry in his pursuit of
an arts education. He aiso
wants Terry to know that his
Citizenship application is pro-
ceeding and that he is sched-
uled for a citizenship test on

COMPOSITE of Subway
robbery suspect. :

Historic
site status
sought
NORTH Vancouver
City Coun. Barbara
Perrault is trying to sell
Ottawa on the idea of
designating the Versatile
Shipyards a national
historic site.

She visited 4 special advisor
to Heritage Minister Sheiia
Copps in Ottawa in’ early
December, and said the staff
person was quite interested in
the idea.

Perrault will be following
up as council representative on
the Museum and Archives
Commission.

One of the criteria for des-
ignation is that the site be of
national significance. This cri-
teria is met by the shipyard
because the Victory Ships were
built on the site during the
Second World War.

Perrault said Heritage
Canada recently designated as
historic a pier in Halifax where
many immigrants disem-
barked. Her idea is to have a
bookend site on the North |
Shore.

The Versatile Shipyards site
is privately owned, and
Perrault is supporting the con-
struction of a combination
museum and science centre on
part of the site. Perrault said.
she does not intend the desig-
nation to pre-empt all develop-
ment on the site. The sad
of this story, Perrault said, is
that the province is no longer. .
