Contest
coverage
lauded

Dear Editor:

Qn behalf of the
North Shore Gardens
Contest Society members,
may I express our thanks
to the North Shore
News for the excellent
coverage of our 1998
Garden Tour and Garden
Contest.

We were very pleased

with the support of

North Shore News staff
in advertising our contest
and tour, and really
thrilled with the excellent
Bright Lights page to fol-
low up on the tour day.

Readers may be inter-
ested to learn that the
biggest number of garden
enthusiasts ever toured
through eight gardens
across the North Shore,
and our volunteers spoke
with visitors from Fort
Langley, Sechelt and one
couple from England who
are involved with the
organization of Yorkshire
in Bloom.

All of the participants
were very impressed with
the high quality of the
gardens on tour, and I
would like to extend con-
gratulatiuns and thanks to
every volunteer member
of the North Shore
. Gardens Contest Society,

the Van Dusen Master
.. Gardeners and the gener-
ous garden owners who
contributed to the great
success of the twelfth
-/annual North Shore gar-
“den tour.

Basically good people

Dear Editor: -

] ain writing to you in the hope that the Good
Samaritan who helped me will read this and get
the thanks he/she deserves. I am the owner of the
green Ford Taurus that was parked just before the
entrance to Deep Cove last Friday night (July 24.)
You found my car keys and left them safely in the
driver side door for me to find.

To step back a bit, my two-year-old daughter
and I.were out enjoying the wonderful live music
at Panorama Park that evening, when upon
returning to my car and stepping up ta open the
passenger side door to put my daughter into her
car seat, I. realized the car keys, which I had
assuredly tucked into my back ‘pocket, were no

: longer there.

Lickily, just at that moment, a family friend
happened to pass by and say hello.

When I told him of our predicament, (we live
in Lynn Valley and to get home to our second set
of keys would have been tro far to walk) and after
an unsuccessful trip back to Panorama Park to try
and find the lost keys, he gave us a lift home where

name, full address and telephone number.

we scooped up a second set of keys along with an
extra car and driver ta escort us back to the forlorn
car back in Deep Cove.

I am making this sound simple There was
actually a Jor of back and forth that made the
entire escapade rather Chaplinesque. Nevertheless,
we did get back to the car with the cxtra set of keys
in hand.

But, lo and behold, when I went to put my key
in the lock, there was the original set right there in
the driver's side door lock!

So thank you very much to whoever it was that
found my sct of keys where I must have dropped
them beside the car.

From what I can piece tagether, you must have
tried the key in the lock to see if they belonged to
my car, then placed them safely where you
assumicd Iw: ‘ould c asily find them when I returned.

It is a pleasure to have confirmed one’s belief in
human nature: that most people are basically hon-
est and good.
