Dear Mr. Waite,

I just wanted to comment on you website.  I really enjoyed seeing some of your photos of the areas I have or currently reside in.  Unfortuneatly non of the photos seem to get the exact location I was looking for, but many come close. 
I grewup in Ottawa and cottaged near Renfew in the litte town of Balaclava (just past Dacre).  My family and I moved to Maple Ridge in 1983 where I lived until 1999 when I relocated to South West Calgary (Somerset).

I first lived in the Carlingwood area, but the photos would have to be taken from the river side as the trees block any view of the house from any other angle.  It was really interesting to see the neighbourhood however, and not much had changed.   When I moved to Maple Ridge, I was just off River Road on 216th Street and later moved to Carshill Street, just off Lougheed Hwy.

I hope that the next time you go up to take pictures in these areas, the camera happens to catch one of the properties.   I think it would make a great gift for my family who still miss living there.

Once again I'd like to thank you for all your work.  It's a great idea and I wish you all the sucess in your venture.


Sincerely,


Wally Brown
