I would like to express my personal thanks to Helen, my wife and partner,
for editing the researched material and making it possible for me to complete this book.

Special thanks to Gene Fischer, Kelowna Fire Department Assistant Chief,
for providing the conditions, in 2002, for the initial framework of this venture.

As a young boy I watched the City of Kelowna
celebrate the 50th Anniversary in May 1955.
Those early years were very fond memories,
and I had always dreamed of living in this great place.
In approaching the milestone of 100 years, we as citizens of Kelowna,
are grateful and proud, as we embrace the future...
