Jamieson came to Kitimat from Vancouver to work on the Alcan project in 1952. With his first pay cheque he bought a small "Pony Kodak" camera at the local store (Hudson Bay?), and started taking coloured slides of the Kitimat from 1952-1953. Left Kitimat at the end of August 1953 to move to Montreal.

Photo showing "RH baby supports drive". Jimmy Banks can grow up to be a fireman like his father with the help of the blood transfusion service of the Canadian Red Cross Society. Jimmy seems to like the idea as his mother, Mrs. Warren Banks, 1356 Albatross, shows him the kind of that he'll wear when he's a member of the fire department. Jimmy, 22 months old, was an RH baby, believe it or not, and he and his parents are strong supporters of the blood donor campaign in Kitimat.
