Stoker met and married Ar-
chibald’s daughter Mary, and in
1913 bought Stoker Farm from the
captain.

When Howard Stoker died in

Rupert. She was also active with
the North Vancouver Tennis Club,
and according to McDonald, her
mother was awarded approximate-

life was “‘great.’”

The sisters started their elemen-
tary years at Lonsdale School, but
McDonald said that her mother
“decided that we were getting a lit-
tle fussy with boys,’’ and sent
them to St. Anthony’s College at

26th and Oak, 1% hours away by
ferry and streetcar.

Mayne attended Grade 1 at
Lonsdale, but when it was closed
due to the Depression she went to
North Van High for Grade 2.
Grade 3 was at St. Anthonvy’s, and
Mayne likes to boast. that she

“‘went from grade school to college.

in three years.”*

Mayne also spent haif a term
under the strict tutelage of Miss
Gulland of the Crosby Private
School for Ladies, which was
located in the building still stan-
ding at the northwest corner of
Grand Boulevard and Keith Road
in North Vancouver.

While Mayne graduated from
Crofton House in Vancouver,
McDonald and Taylor are gradu-
ates of North Van High.

Today, Dorrie Taylor lives in the
Capilano Highlands and is the
owner of North Vancouvei’s
Capilano Travel, which she found-
ed 10 years ago after 25 years in
the travel business. Her late hus-
band, Dr. Ernie Cleveland, was the
first water commissioner of Van-
couver, and was involved in the
building of the dam which bears
his name.

McDonald, who lives on
Capilano Road, is the owner of

1969. For the past two years she
has worked with Sussex Realty in
North Vancouver.

Following. the death of their
mother in 1981, Mayne handled
the sale of Stoker Farm. They had
no choice but to sell, she said, as it
would have been impossible to
maintain.

Capilano Travel.

The second and third floors had
been converted to suites, but ‘‘the
roof Jeaked badly in spots and
no-one could find out where it

dominiums, which were completed
last year, Taylor says “I think
they’re beautiful...I really do.”
