Part 1: at the end of January I run out of money and have to go to the city for work. In Edmonton I visit my Queen's friend Don and find a job as relief cook's assistant and later relief camp attendant for Bull Catering on rigs at Bodo, Hudson's Hope and Cold Lake. Afterhours I revise writing. There are days off at the Y in Edmonton between assignments, and then a few weeks in Vancouver. Part 2: I'm back at the Olson house in early spring, getting the lake house ready to move into later on. Go on revising writing, shoot a couple of the film sequences that end up in notes in origin. In part 3 move into the lake house and then am in London for a film festival for two weeks. Jam has come back from Hong Kong and is in the house when I return. To earn money to bring Luke from England for a visit I go treeplanting with a Brinkman Reforestation crew I run into in Hythe. Part 4 Luke is at the lake house along with other visitors. Part 5 in Vancouver with Luke, staying in the East Pender house while my sub-tenant is away. When Luke flies back to London Jam and I get ready to drive north for the fall and winter. This volume's part-numbers on the left again are linked to edited versions which themselves have links to unedited originals, and I'm again offering these edited pages without excerpts below.
