Here are a few bits of local news, including a report about the wedding of Nan Gillett, who ran a confectionary store and was Aldergrove's first telephone operator/service agent. We knew when she got married, and to whom - we've actually found some of her descendants who provided us with photos seen in other posts on this page - but it's nice to have a bit of commentary about the event. There's also a local man mentioned who volunteered for WW1, we're still trying to learn more about him in our ongoing veterans research project.

This Aldergrove Festival Days photo of two young ladies and their decorated bikes appeared on page 3 of the 9 June 1982 Aldergrove Star. We know who they are...do you? 😉
