BY VALERIE RICHARDS Gil Humphreys and Pat Lee lead a merry staff of islanders. They began as partners in the operation of Salt Spring Lands in 1969. Salt Spring Lands is not a new operation. The building, as it stands today, does not resemble its forerunner. First Lands office was located within the walls of Malcolm and Purvis' general store at Ganges. It was later accommodated adjacent to Mouat's in the Ganges Inn. The inn used to be where the post office stands. It was not until the 70's that the office moved across the street. Salt Spring Lands began under the direction of Gavin Mouat. He purchased the lands office through Norwich Union Insur- ance Company in 1928 who sold land and insurance through Malcolm and Purvis, as agents. Manfred and Gavle Burandt Gavin Mouat was principal of the firm until he sold it to Charles Horel and Rod Pringle in 1957. They let go of the insurance end of the business and sold only land. In 1969 Salt Spring Lands changed hands once more. Gil Humphreys worked with a family canning operation in Vancouver until the company was sold. He, with wife, Nonie, discover- ed Salt Spring Island in March 22 years ago. They found the daffodils in bloom and the plum blossoms scenting the calm atmosphere of the island and they liked it. They Humphreys pulled up roots from'Vancouver and start- ed turkey farming at the former Nelson Farm at the end of Scott Road. When farming became old hat to Gil, he commuted to Vancou- ver to work with a construction firm. Arriving to stay for a Labour Day week end, Gil spent the days fishing and golfing and didn't want to leave. Pat Lee was no newcomer to Salt Spring. He was in Fulford when Fulford Hall burnt down and he saw the Iroquois tie up in the harbour. An island boy, Pat has left Salt spring for an eight-year stint in British Columbia banks. He worked in Fort St. John and Kimberley as well as the capital, Victoria. Pat joined the staff of Salt Spring Lands in 1966. The staff of Salt Spring Lands goes north to Hornby and Denman Islands, and east to Galiano. But the Salt Spring islanders are many, as well as merry. Jim Spencer is one of the senior salesmen of Salt Spring Island. He has been selling real estate since 1961, working for Salt Spring Lands. Jim comes from Port Hardy and has worked in logging operations in Seymour Inlet, sold insurance up and down the coast of B.C. and when moving to the island in 1956, he worked as a carpenter and later sold feed to farming islanders, through Mouat's general store. Jim Spencer was in the land development business for five years. Fred Donaghy was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. But, like most prairie people do, Fred found the seashore and rain to his liking when he went to live in Victoria as a child. Working for the civil service in the forestry division, he was posted to Salt Spring Island in 1951. He didn't leave, and instead, became the book keep- er for Art Young of the then Salt Spring Motors. In 1961, Fred Donaghy became the accountant for Salt Spring Lands.
