I was trying to track mentions of LCDR Jim Ellerton in the Aldergrove Star and found these two items about John D. Ellerton. I also learned that like many residents of 'The Base', the Ellertons were avid bowlers at Alder Lanes.

We're wondering if there any knitters amongst our readers who would be willing to knit a pair of Canadian Army socks for our military exhibit. This is the same pattern used by all of the Canadian Red Cross units to make much needed socks for our soldiers. We can provide the wool. =)

We seem to be missing the 1 June 1994 issue of the Aldergrove Star, which may have had the class photos in it, but we did find this photo of former County Line students at their high school graduation. Can anyone out there provide names (and where that person is in the photo)?

Some think that the movement to bring back commuter rail south of the Fraser is a 21st century idea, but it really started back in the late 20th century, almost 30 years ago.

Unique fundraising the Aldergrove way...although I don't know that it was very popular. The first also seems to have been the last as we can't find further mention of a "pie drop" in subsequent years.

In February 1967 there was a wave of break-ins in town, and it seems that the Navy Base was not exempt from being prowled.
