Yvonne Laviolette from Vancouver Island writes:
"I found a wooden box in a thrift store in Parksville that has an old yellowed note glued to one of the inside walls of the box. The note explains where the box came from. The box was passed down from mother to daughter through the generations. I suspect the woman who penned the note did not have children and the box ended up being tossed out. I am interested in getting this box back to a family member."
The letter was penned by Mary Alma Heatherington in Vancouver in 1931. The box was made from a wooden trunk, brought from Ireland to Ontario in the early 1800's by Maggie Boyle. Take a look, and if you know the family, please send us a note. almanac@cbc.ca

Listener Barry Curtis is excited about the 150th anniversary of Barkerville, and created this Billy Barker cartoon. Barker struck it rich in 1862, extending the frenzied gold rush deep into the Cariboo. The historic town's new season begins May 17th -- with special events planned all year long. The high price of gold has also triggered new exploration and mines in the region.
