Otto Arndt was born in Germany in 1939 and later came to Canada. He worked for a timber marking crew for the forest service and lived in a cabin in the Hart Highway area. He married Janice Rowan, the girl across the street. At the age of 20 and with two suitcases of his worldly belongings in hand, Bill Bosnich said a big goodbye to his family in northern Ontario and headed west. He got a job at the Canfor Plywood Mill in New Westminster in 1958 and a few years later he met and married Donna MacMillan. The couple moved to Pineview and in 2001 he retired after many years as a carpenter. In their retirement Bill and Donna have been enjoying their volunteer work at the Pineview Hall and by entertaining the community through their involvement with the Forever Young Chorus, the Country Cuzzins and the drama club at the Elder Citizens Recreation Centre.
With six weeks to go before the 2014 Relay for Life, Helen Owen has one big concern about the fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.
“There’s still a lot of snow to get rid of (at Masich Place Stadium),” the team lead for the May 11 and 12 event said.
Apart from that, the numbers are looking good.
“We have 967 participants registered on 115 teams, which is pretty much on track for what we had last year.”
Those teams are starting to do some serious fundraising, with a number of events listed on the website at convio.cancer.ca (follow the links to find the Prince George Relay).
