Is the company now defunct, or were they bought out by someone else, or???
Thanks for any information.
Stu Boyes bought my grandparents house , barn , on 5 acers next door to us in 1963 .
southeast corner of 188th and 56th ave Cloverdale . A church there now , and a lot of houses . Grandfather had 10 acers and dad had the 10 acers next door .
He was an importer who would travel to Japan and the UK to purchase bikes (and have the BRC emblem put on them so your bike my be from either country ) among other things . Dad got a portable short wave radio and us children also got gifts from his travels . We moved to Prince George in 1965 .
He past away a few years ago and his wife and son Tim live in Whiterock now (her in a assited living home and Tim nearby ) his two daughters , Pam & Marg are on Vancouver Island now .
