GORDON SMITH: Henry's brother Gordon also worked in the woods at Hillcrest. After Henry left Hillcrest he was killed in a logging accident.

LLOYD SMITH:

Lloyd started working at Hillcrest in 1956 as an electrician. When Hillcrest announced that it was closing, Lloyd got a job at Honeymoon Bay in 1966

Lloyd told me an interesting story about when he was 13 years old. He was hired on at the old Sahtlam mill for only 3 days, but in those three days he loaded the lumber truck by hand and at that time the lumber was being delivered to Bazzet & Vickers lumber yard in Duncan. (Hillcrest sold this lumber yard to Bazzett & Vickers) And also he spent some time pulling off the greenchain by hand.

This is one on the many Cadillac's that Lloyd had over the years that he restored and used to drive, until his eyesight started to fade. Lloyd also restored many motorcycles over the years, which he has given away or sold over the years.

Lloyd drove this car to the 2005 reunion held at the Honeymoon Bay Hall.
