Photo showing Radley Park (Developed by Gyro Club);
Cleaning and grubbing of old logs and underbrush in Radley Park started this week with municipal crews in high gear to get the job done. Pictured above are two of the workmen snaking a log to one of the many assembly points for burning. The campfire park, located near the busy Service Centre area, has 20 odd campsites complete with barbecues and picnic tables; it is the pet project of the Gyro Club. The club recently presented the municipality a cheque for park improvement.

Photo showing Gyro Club member L/R Wm. Bill Pryde and Walter Crossan (Crossan Cartage Co. Ltd.) installing ovens in Radley Park. This park was a year round Gyro Project, keeping the B/Q Ovens in shape, cutting wood, looking after the wooden or concrete tables. Each Gryo/Gyrette was in charge of looking after one stall in Radley Park - where the tourists came.

John Ware was a past employee of the Kitimat Town Planning Department (1957-1959). He was hired by Hollister Kent, Planning Director for Kitimat. During his two years here, Dr. ware designed the first Kitimat street signs, the Haisla Boulevard overpass, and the Hirsch Creek Park shelter centennial project (1858-1958). He was layed off when Alcan lost major Aluminum buyers and the town expansion halted, resulting in a cut back of Kirtimat employees. He then moved to the USA.

From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
