  • Acknowledgements
    Acknowledgements The history of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) reveals a dynamic account of professionalism, the unifying effort of many, and the motivation that drove the Board from its first day in 1951 through modernity. This narration endeavours to offer an objective viewpoint that unites documentation and individual recollection to tell the inspiring chronicle of the men and women who have joined forces in order to work towards a higher aim, a common vision. The history of VIREB reveals a philosophy of professionalism; its story is paralleled by the earned expertise of the real estate industry as a whole. It is with gratitude that the author recog- nizes those who were interviewed for the history as representatives of the evolving eras of the Board: Allan Armstrong, Pat Moore, Lloyd Wood, Reg Eaton, Ralph Walker, Bob Clarke, Gordon Blackhall, Jack Geisler, Dermot Murphy, Rick Evans (reflecting upon his Father Jack’s contribu- tion), Marty Douglas, Randy Forbes, and Donn Gardner. Their vast knowledge, strategic sense, and commitment to the industry are legendary and the history was not only told, but made with their help. While these Members and Associates have been instrumental in telling the story of the Board’s history they are not alone, countless Members stand equal in knowledge and commit- ment, and their actions are clearly recorded within the sixty years of Board Minutes. Above all, it is the Membership that directs the Board. It is that collective voice that has been the guiding force of VIREB; its history is the history of its Members. Supporting the Board Directors and Membership are the men and women that have orches- trated the business of the Board.

Tamagawa University's Director of International Education. Hashimoto, who had made a special journey from Tokyo to Nanaimo for the occasion, brought greetings from Tamagawa President Dr. Tetsuro Obara in which he emphasized the strength of the links between the two institutions. "It is our dearest wish. "he said, "that this garden shall become a living symbol of fellowship and goodwill between Tamagawa and Malaspina. It is our intention that the garden will serve as a place of recreation and relaxation for both College students and the people of Nanaimo. " The garden, located beside the Art Building, was constructed by a Vancouver based firm of landscape gardeners and includes a Japanese style tea house ' and a pool spanned by a bridge which Dr. Obara says stands for the "Bridge of Communication which has enabled :our unde r standing and friendsh i p to grow." It is our earnest hope," he added , "that this symbolic bridge will serve us well and that our future efforts wi ll be rewarded with an even greater depth of frie ndship and unders tanding. " The association between Malaspina and Tamagawa dates back to 1976 and Ta mag awa now owns farm acreage in the Cedar area south of Nanaimo. Plans for the future of the site have still to be announced but the expectation i s tha t it will be used for agric~ltura1 research projects.
