From previous pag *

four restaurants: the Ste.‘
House in Cranbrook, and
Coppertown, Bridge Cafe, ana
Bus Depot in Princeton.
Wanting to settle on the coast,
the Evers sold the tour restau-
rants and moved to North
Vancouver in: 1960, purchas-
ing and operating the Lyan

“Valley Florist Shop for several
years.:

The years 1961 to 1973
found Anne Marie as a Icgal
secretary with Erwin Biedler
on Marine Drive. That same
year, 1973, she accepted the
position of director of public
relations, running the
Canadian office for Guif Land

’ Company of Seattle. Her
~ office was upstairs at 1139

took off. She became extreme-
: ly busy in and out of the
office. She also wrote and

voiced her own radio and tele-
vision commercials.

With the recreational real
estate market booming, Anne
Marie decided to try her luck
ar selling real estate. She
became successful in this new
venture, and in 1980 invested
in a restaurant in Ferndale,
Washington, the Monsieur
Albert and the Chicken Coop,
which she and Ai operated.

on numerous radio stations in
Canada and the U.S. speaking
of the power of affirmations.

hugging trees, and walking
baretoot in the grass — it
makes me feel connected with
the universal crergy.”
