    Tunnel Town Curling Club 1720 - 56 Street Delta, BC V4L 2B1 Phone 604-943-9219 TUNNEL TOWN CURLING CLUB LIFE MEMBERS Tunnel Town Curling Club has, to date, inducted ten members as Honorary Life Members for their contributions to the club and the game of curling. A brief biography of each of them follows: NAME: JUNE FRANKLIN YEAR INDUCTED: 2018 EDUCATION: Stenography Leeds High School Leeds, England Accounting Remington Accounting Leeds, England CURLING CLUB MEMBERSHIPS: Tunnel Town Curling Club Delta, B.C. 1967 - PRESENT BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: June Firth was born in the city of Leeds, Yorkshire County, England. She emigrated with her family to Rocky Mountain House in Alberta Canada in 1947, but the family returned to England after spending one winter in Canada. June returned to school in Leeds and completed her high school at the age of 16. She took a job with a local company who, in response to her request, agreed to send her for accountant training. When June's father died at a young age, she talked her mother into again emigrating to Canada, but this time to Burnaby BC. However, once again they were homesick for England, and returned after only a few months in Canada. After returning to Leeds in 1957, June obtained a position in the accounting department of sewing machine factory there. She married Ron Franklin, who worked as sewing machine technician, at the same factory, in 1959. They immigrated to Vancouver, Canada in 1965 where Ron started his own business which sold and serviced industrial sewing machines and cutting equipment.

It covers the period from shortly after the intro- duction of anesthesia until modern times. We have attempted to provide an exhaustive compilation of available data, so that a repos- itory of information will exist for future medical historians. We have also attempted to make the book an enjoyable reading experi- ence for the average individual interested in medical history, in part by telling anecdotes about many of the people who had a role in this history. The book is divided into two parts. The first chapters describe the development of anesthesia in Oregon from different perspec- tives. These include the early period, the advent of anesthesiologists and the Oregon Society of Anesthesiology (OSA), the complete development of anesthesia delivered by nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), dental anesthesia, examples of types of anesthesia practice, and a historical perspective of Oregon anesthesiology, including brief biographical sketches of some early pioneers and some of the more influential anesthesiologists in the state.
