Victoria BC ESQUIMALT BC BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA VANCOUVER ISLAND

FROM WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY... CC 2003 Leaving the museum, we drove over the swing up bridge to Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. In 1968, I had completed in Esquimalt, my second four-month training as a UNTD reserve naval officer, and had graduated with my officer’s commission. I loved the two-week exciting cruise down the Pacific coastline and up the Columbia River to attend the City of Portland Rose Festival. We drove up Admiral’s Road and dropped in unexpectedly to see Margaret Young, an ex-school teacher who is nearing 80 who has travelled most of the world. I knew her now deceased husband Arthur, ex-mayor of Esquimalt, and former butcher, who had welcomed me numerous times to their cottage in 1968. We talked briefly of Margaret’s seven-week trip around Australia in the late 1950’s. I wondered at the Pugh-Young connection, and was told, “Aimee, my mother travelled out from England with your grandmother around 1910. They both settled in Victoria and remained friends, and the Pugh-Young connection remained close. Your Grandfather, Robert Pugh and his wife Agnes, grew up in Victoria and Robert was a greenkeeper at the Oak Bay golf club. Robert raised two children, Albert and your dad, John Ernest Pugh.” DON PUGH
