Laurel Smith Wilson:

I am the Bulkley Valley Museum archivist here and I have been working 
here for a year.  I'm not sure what help I can offer... or if I even can 
but please call me at home at 847-5736 or email me annp100@telus.net if 
I can be of any assistance.  If you tell me what assistance you need I 
can let you know what help, if any, I can give.

Yours sincerely,
Ann M. Plasway
