He was born in Winnipeg in 1903 and one of his most profound memories was to see Halley’s Comet on his seventh birthday. The Andrews family moved to Calgary in 1918. From there his could see the Rocky Mountains and he became fascinated by the lands that lay beyond. In a later diary, he wrote, \u003cem\u003e“I did not know then that my professional life in British Columbia would be largely devoted to mapping and revealing the mysteries behind that panorama.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so it did. In 1922, he became a rural school teacher in Upper Big Bar, a small community in the Cariboo, then at Kelly Lake, an even more remote settlement in Peace River country. In the late 1920s, he took up a new career as a forester, which he continued through the next decade. As a forester, he developed an interest and a skill in aerial photography to survey forests for resource planning – developments in aerial photography dramatically changed forestry in BC. But like so many others, Andrews’ life changed when the World War II began. He enlisted as a soldier and helped take high-altitude photographs to help the Allies in the D-Day landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Andrews returned to BC in 1946, his skills in surveying from the air helped land him a job as a surveyor. In just five years, he became BC’s surveyor general, a position he held until he retired in 1968, making him the longest serving surveyor general in BC’s history. During his tenure the province went through an industrial boom, especially in forestry and power generation, and Andrews supervised the mapping of many large construction projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrews’ multifaceted career took him throughout most of British Columbia.

She was renowned not only for her powerful paintings of West Coast forests and Native settlements but also for her extraordinarily vivid prose, which was enlivened by her wit and her sharp eye for the foibles of humanity. While studying at the Westminster School of Art in London, England, Carr so undermined her health by overwork that she was sent for complete rest to at Sunhill sanatorium in the country-for eighteen long months. She put down story of her convalescence as it was taking place in a sketch book that she kept during that time. Her active mind and restless nature rebelled at the hospital restrictions enforcing rest and prohibiting excitement: \"They gave us very little credit for having sense at Sunhill. We came here to pause our ordinary acitivities. Even thinking was prohibited.\" Undaunted, however, she managed to make friends, raise birds and get into mischief.
