AGM 2000
The day went very well, skirting rain
storms, the field activities, and the participants managed to stay dry.
The business meeting went smoothly, managed by the experienced leadership
of our vice-chair, Jim Cayford. A renewed council has been approved, but
there are still three positions to fill. Any volunteers will probably be
readily accepted!
Doug Drysdale gave a very interesting
history behind the growth of the Drysdale businesses, a history which very
much parallels the development of the highway 400 corridor and the initial
development of the Christmas tree industry. And lunch was great - thanks
Doug.
We were then expertly hosted by the
Somerville Nursery staff in and around their new headquarters south of
Everett. We were ferried about several of their properties (bus and wagon)
under the leadership of Paul Frazer. Mr. John Somerville, now a Fellow
member of the CIF, was also with us to add information about the history
of the nursery business, and his company which he, of course, founded.
Thank you Paul and John
