MARGARET (Purves)
Gloag, called Sadie by
her many friends, has
lots of wonderful mem-
ories of the North
Shore.

From building a scawall to
dining on freshly caught
seafood, watching killer
whales, designing family heir-
looms, starting a family cus-
tom and volunteer work,
Sadie takes great pride in
whatever she does.

Hauling rocks and mixing
cement didn’t faze Sadie,
when there was a job to do,

_ she was right there to help.

Sadie was one of six chil-
dren and grew up in a very
close and happy family in
Summerfand, B.C. She
remembers wel the fire of
1923 when their home burnt
to the ground, They lost
everything.

The community rallied
around and soon her family
had a place to stay and clothes
to wear. Three years later the
family had another shock: her
father died.

Her mother moved the
family to Vancouver in 1929,
and Sadie worked as an opera-

tor with BC Tel for the next
eight years.

It was in ‘39 thar she met
her future husband, Geoff,
and they married in 1940.

Geoff worked in telecom-
munications with the CPR for
more than 40 years.

In 1949 the Gloags decid-
ed to moved to Deep Cove.
They purchased their water-
front loc, renovated and
enlarged the existing house,
moved in and started their
family. Amidst their happiness
came sorrow. Sadic’s mother
passed away that same year.

At one time Sadie had
three bothers and two sisters
living in the Deep Cove area,
and there were 14 cousins
attending the local schools.

It took about two years for
Sadie, Geoff and their three
children to build a retaining,
seawall along the front of
their property. It is 75 feet
long, seven feet wide and
extends two feet below the
water surface, § with two steps
going into the water.

¢ Gloags used their car
and their 12-foot clinker-built
boat with its inboard motor
to transport stones to the wall
site. At the edge of their
property they buile a 125-foot
open chute. Cement was
mixed at the top, then hosed
down the chute and loaded
by shovels into wheelbarrows,
then dumped into the appro-
priate place on the wall. It
was hard work.

The years flew by and for a
time Sadie worked part time
in the bakery at the Dollarton
Centre. The Gloag family was
