This is a great site! A friend sent me a link, and I've been lost in the videos of the rich hockey tradition of Trail. Not sure if I have any family there, but maybe my research will lead me there some day. I'd be proud to have family there!| Sheila | | Thursday, October 22nd, 2009, 3:16 pm | Tallahassee, Florida |

My father came to Trail, B.C. when he arrived from Friuli, Italy. I think the year would have been around 1949? I would very much like to trace the family Bortolussi, and Bertuzzi history. Can anyone help me here? It would greatly appreciated! Thank you.| Cathy Bortolussi Calligaro | | Monday, December 15th, 2008, 7:57 am | Toronto, Ontario |
Thank you for dedicating a wall to Jeff Lakes. He was a wonderful man that I knew as a young girl. We think of him every Thanksgiving, the anniversary of meeting him.
Thank you!| Megan Noreen | | Friday, November 21st, 2008, 11:34 am | Las Vegas, NV USA |
My, this is great fun hearing all these stories. I remember the 2 dairies we had at Mary's Flats. I went to the grade school in East Trail and had Beetstra for classmate.
My dad's brother and his family (Alex, Jenny and son Alex)
lived on the 3rd ave corner across from the school.
I still have all my old grade school photos.
Remember the trips to Nelson for the Music Festivals?

About Caslers in Trail. Our family -Harold, Beatrice, Edith and Joyce lived at 1835 Second Avenue right across from Butler Park. Directly behind ud on Third lived the Casler family. I remember Roy .
In later years he watched out for Mrs Currie widow of Hamilton Currie. I don't know who bought the house after Mr. Currie died. I just looked in phone book and there are5 Caslers listed.Castlegar Trail and Fruitvale.
E mail me for phone numbers etc.
