The Gulf Islands Handicapped Associa• tion will now be known as the Association of People with Disabilities, coordinator Bill Best announced last week. Best said the new name will conform more closely with that of a Vancouver-based umbrella group for disabled persons' rights. He said the change was also made "be• cause we are people first, who happen to have disabilities. We are more than just disabled; we have abilities, too." Now in its third year of operation, the APD has expanded the island's hand• icapped parking system to a total of 26 Fishing boats quietly wait out the season in Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring parking spaces.

Most of the research material exists in the 40-50 boxes in the Archives of the City of Victoria. The other main sources were the BC Provincial Archives and the Victoria Public Library. Numerous other sources were checked but yielded little. Throughout the hundred years, there were literally dozens of individual members who contributed to the recording of the story. Most are now unknown but a few stand out. HP (Pete) Johnson was the historian during the twenties and the thirties. Captain Thomas J. (Cappy) Goodlake, who was the Club Secretary for twenty years and then was elected President, wrote an abbreviated 60-year history of the Club starting in 1913. Dr.Carron Jameson (President 1966-67) was the historian for many years until his death.
