Those Darn Chickens!

Always with a smile and always thoughtful, Maribel Holland gives us a glimpse of her life as the daughter of a Preacher in Gibsons in the thirties. From age 13 Maribel embraces the simple life until years later, on a day like any other, that life abruptly ends.

“You know, I’m glad I was there in the room with him,” she says “then I didn’t have to wonder if there was anything I could have done for him,” says Maribel.

See if you can find the details of the simple life on BC’s west coast, the hallmark of a truly rural and magical time.
