Dick Toynbee's Collection
Are these photos different than what we have up in the Toynbee Collection now?

Launching M.B. "Ganges" November 27, 1958

Ghost Files put up by Brian

10.04.2026: Saint George’s Church, previously a ghost folder on the server, now a page, linked from the Churches page.

12.04.2026: Pat Lee Collection in Ruckle Fonds - from 'ruckle3' on the server, a previously unlinked collection of photos , apparently from someone named Pat Lee (of the Ruckles, 'she' was one of the Ruckles?).

12.04.2026: Salt Spring’s First Schoolteacher: John Craven Jones in Early Schools folder - and linked from that section's index page. I found the document in the 'documents' folder, and since it seemed to contain a bit more information that the John Craven Jones page, I thought I would put it in the Early Schools folder, and cross-link it with the JC Jones page.

13.04.2026: Dave Howell's Coast Guard presentation in Audio section. There was a ghost file on the server just entitled 'coastguard' with an html page that didn't work. With a bit of sleuthing I realized that it went with this 2013 presentation, so created a gallery and metadata (such as it isn't) file for it, and put it on the html cover page for that presentation in the audio files.

27.04.2026: Burgoyne Bay United Church There were some interesting photos of the Burgoyne Church in the 'burgoyne2' folder of the church and the valley. The one of the church seems to be a later, higher-resolution scan of the first photo in the Burgoyne Bay United Church page, that included an enlargement of the centre of the photo. The second was a more distant view of the church in the valley. I placed the higher-resolution scan at the top of the page at full size, with a rollover for the enlargement, with the valley photo below it. I deleted the 'burgoyne2' folder.

Who wrote this? It seems like it might contain some good history - should we put it up?
