Lance Cove History submitted by Brian Rees |

HERE ARE THE NEW LINKS TO THE WEB PAGES THAT WERE TEMPORARILY OFF LINE.
THE LANCE COVE
PAGE HAS BEEN UP-DATED TO INCLUDE A PHOTO OF THE WILLIAM AND SOPHIA
(HISCOCK) STONES THAT WERE DISCOVERED DURING THE CLEANUP. William
and Sophia are the parents of our branch of the Rees clan. Brian
scrubbed the stones clean and stood them temporarily on end to take
those photos for me. Thanks to Paul's initiative , those stones
were uncovered. I never knew they were there and neither , I think,
did my dad or else he would have told me about them. If I've done
anything , I hope I have stirred up a new interest in who we are and
where we came from.
In terms of history, Lance cove has a
priceless heritage.
Sometime that will be better
understood.
Rod Bickford and his beautiful wife,
Marjorie Coakwell have picked up the torch. It's amazing how
Marjorie has embraced Lance Cove. Though she's from central Canada,
she sees things things to which the locals have become blind.
Thanks to Martha for doing this. It was
a huge job that required a lot of time since she practically had to
start from scratch. GeoCities,
the company that hosted the original
sites went out of business and deleted everything on their server.
They did ; however give us a year's warning which we neglected to
heed. All's well that ends well. I do not know the HTML language;
so I would never be able to do this on my own. My web pages are not
the "
ready made (paint by numbers) type that
can be found on line and simplified for the technical illiterate,
like me. My web pages are persomally designed. I did much of the
design and all the writing. Martha gave it the professional
touch. HTML is her second language.
