We love it when someone has identified the people in photographs. As many of you already know, the first telephone office was located inside Nan Gillette's Confectionary Store. Garland was a telephone agent/operator in Aldergrove for a short time, but then moved to the Abbotsford exchange.

Iola was daughter to Miles & Jessie Walker. Miles was a bookkeeper at the Otter Shingle Mill, where he also ran a small store. Verna Hamre was daughter to Goodman Hamre, jitney operator and service station owner.
