Hi Bruce,

I lived on East 12th at Knight for about a year around 1980. Didn't like the neighborhood at all. If only I'd lived there back in the 1940's I'm sure I would have loved it.

Oh, and I also lived in Esquimalt when I was a young teenager 13/14. When I got a little older, with Victoria being a city full of sailors, I had a sailor friend named Con Hogue. We hung out together a lot. I often wonder what ever became of him. I don't remember much about him but his sailor suit and his name (bad memory these days)

Don't they, or didn't they used to, have a "ship" in Victoria called the HMCS Esquimalt?
