- ON MARCH 13, 2019, COLLECTIONS TECHNICIAN KEVIN MACLEAN INTERVIEWED BARB CAVERS REGARDING HER DONATION OF OBJECTS RELATED TO HER FATHER’S DRUG STORE. GEORGE WILLOUGBY’S PHARMACY WAS LOCATED IN THE LETHBRIDGE MARQUIS HOTEL. ON THE BALANCE SCALE, CAVERS RECALLED, “[THE SCALE SET] WAS IN MY DAD’S [GEORGE WILLOUGHBY’S] DRUG STORE, WHICH WAS IN THE MARQUIS HOTEL. WHEN HE TOOK IT OVER, IT HADN’T BEEN RENOVATED…IT WAS QUITE A SMALL STORE, EVEN FOR THAT TIME, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST RIGHT ON THE CORNER, OF THE HOTEL…TOWARDS THE BACK, THERE WAS THE DISPENSARY, AND IT WAS RAISED. IT WAS A STEP-UP, AND THERE WAS DARK WOOD…IT HAD A LITTLE GATE…[THERE WAS] A COUNTER WHERE A LOT OF THE TRADITIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL TOOLS WOULD HAVE BEEN…IN THE CORNER, THERE WAS…[THE] TINIEST SINK I’VE EVER SEEN…PROBABLY ONLY ABOUT TEN INCHES WIDE…[THERE WAS] AN L-SHAPED LITTLE STORAGE AREA BEHIND, AND EVENTUALLY DAD HAD IT RE-DONE, AND MODERNIZED. IT WASN’T HALF AS PRETTY, BUT HE LIKED IT BECAUSE IT WAS MORE MODERN. THIS [SCALE SET] WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ON THE COUNTER. THERE WERE TWO SEPARATE SETS OF BALANCE SCALES. ONE WAS SMALLER, AND IT WAS USED FOR MUCH SMALLER QUANTITIES. THIS WAS USED FOR LARGER QUANTITIES, AND, IN THE BASEMENT OF THE STORE, THERE WAS A LONG COUNTER, PROBABLY THIRTY INCHES WIDE, AND SIX OR SEVEN FEET LONG, AND IT HAD BINS ON BOTH SIDES. AND, IN THOSE BINS WERE THE POWDERS THAT THEY USED. THE ONLY ONE THAT I REALLY LIKED WAS THE ONE THAT HAD LEMON SQUASH IN IT (WHICH WAS THE FORERUNNER TO LEMONADE), BECAUSE IT SMELLED GOOD. ALL THE OTHERS SMELLED DRUG-STORE-Y…WHEN I WAS LITTLE, [THE PHARMACISTS] WOULD STILL MAKE MANY OF THEIR OWN OINTMENTS, AND LIQUIDS…REMEMBER, AT ONE TIME, THEY EVEN HAD EMPTY CAPSULES THAT THEY WOULD FILL. SO, IT WAS A DIFFERENT ERA ALTOGETHER.” “I CAN’T RECALL [AT WHAT POINT IT WOULD HAVE COME TO THEIR HOME]. WHEN I’M SEEING THE PICTURE IN MY HEAD OF THE NEW RE-BUILT DISPENSARY, I DON’T RECALL SEEING THIS ON THE COUNTER, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE WAY. HE COULD HAVE JUST TAKEN IT DOWNSTAIRS, OR SOMETHING, AT THAT POINT, BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG BASEMENT, THE SAME CONFIGURATION AS THE STORE ITSELF…IT WAS JUST PUT DOWN THERE, BECAUSE THERE WAS LOTS OF ROOM.” “[DAD] WAS OF THE GENERATION THAT VALUED NEW THINGS. WHEN THE STORE WAS CLOSING, HE JUST WANTED TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING, AND WE HAD TO KIND OF PUT OUR FOOT DOWN AND SAY, ‘NO, THERE ARE THINGS IN THERE THAT WE WANT’…I THINK HE WAS PLEASED TO HAVE THEM, BUT HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SENTIMENTAL. HE WOULD NEVER HAVE ADMITTED TO THAT SENTIMENTALITY, EVEN IF HE HAD FELT IT…THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS, AND PROBABLY MORE THINGS, THAT WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT.” “[I DIDN’T ACQUIRE THIS] UNTIL MY MOTHER MOVED. DAD WENT INTO CARE IN THE FALL OF 1991, AND MOM MOVED OUT OF THEIR CONDO THE FOLLOWING SPRING, AND SHE LIVED IN THE PEMMICAN FOR A YEAR…MY SISTER TOOK ONE, AND I TOOK THE OTHER.” “[I WAS INTERESTED IN IT BECAUSE] I THINK IT’S COOL TO LOOK AT, AND BECAUSE I REMEMBER PLAYING ON IT…IT’S A PART OF THE HISTORY OF THE CITY, SO I’M GLAD IT’S BEEN PRESERVED.” CAVERS ELABORATED ON HER FATHER’S TIME OWNING AND OPERATING THE PHARMACY, NOTING, “WE WENT TO CHURCH AT SOUTHMINSTER, AND MY DAD ALWAYS WENT TO THE STORE. HE NEVER WENT TO CHURCH, AND SOMETIMES I WOULD WALK…BY MYSELF FROM SOUTHMINSTER CHURCH DOWN TO THE HOTEL, WHICH WAS ACROSS FROM THE POST OFFICE, AND MY DAD WOULD BE THERE. THEN I WOULD GET TO PLAY…I WOULD WEIGH THINGS, AND USE THESE WEIGHTS. BUT, I COULD PLAY WITH IT BECAUSE IT WAS BIG, AND NOT VERY DESTRUCTIBLE. SO, I HAVE LOTS OF GOOD ASSOCIATIONS. I CAN SMELL WHAT THE BASEMENT SMELLED LIKE.” “JOHN HIGGINBOTHAM IS REGARDED AS THE FIRST PHARMACIST IN LETHBRIDGE, AND HE OPENED HIS STORE IN 1885, AND IT WAS ON FIFTH STREET. THEN SUTHERLAND BOUGHT THAT BUSINESS (HE WAS THE MANAGER), AND IN 1915 IT WAS CALLED THE REXALL STORE…HIGGINBOTHAM AND COMPANY OPENED A PHARMACY IN THE NEW MARQUIS HOTEL IN 1928. IN 1948, MY FATHER CAME TO TOWN, AND WITH HIS PARTNER MCDERMIAD, BOUGHT THE BUSINESS, AND ANYTHING THAT WAS IN IT. SO, THIS CERTAINLY IS MUCH OLDER THAN 1948…FIRST OF ALL [MY FATHER’S PHARMACY] WAS CALLED WILLOUGHBY MCDERMIAD, AND THEN HE CHANGED IT TO WILLOUGHBY DRUG; THEN MARQUIS PHARMACY WAS HOW IT ENDED UP.” “DAD WAS A PLANNER, AND HE HAD ALWAYS SAID THAT WHEN HE TURNED 65, HE WAS GOING TO RETIRE…AS IT GOT CLOSER TO 1980, HE KNEW THAT HE WASN’T GOING TO BE ABLE TO SELL THE STORE, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST TOO SMALL FOR WHAT DRUG STORES WERE TURNING INTO, SO THAT LOCATION ACTUALLY BECAME THE MARQUIS SMOKE SHOP…THEN WHEN THE HOTEL WAS TORN DOWN [IF I HAD TO GUESS I’D SAY IN 1986]…THEY APPARENTLY HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BOILER, AND THE OWNERS OF THE HOTEL DETERMINED THAT IT WAS TOO MUCH MONEY TO INVEST IN A BUILDING OF THAT AGE, SO THEY WERE JUST GOING TO TEAR IT DOWN…[MY PARENTS] WERE VERY SAD TO SEE IT GO DOWN, AT LEAST MY MOTHER WAS. BUT, [DAD] WAS GOING TO RETIRE IN 1980, WHEN HE TURNED 65. HE PUT UP SIGNS…IN THE FALL, AND WENT TO WORK EVERY DAY. THERE WAS ALMOST NOTHING LEFT IN THE STORE. HIS BIRTHDAY WAS FEBRUARY 13, BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE CLOSED THE STORE JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT, REALLY, IN IT. ALL OF THE PRESCRIPTIONS WENT TO STOKE’S PHARMACY, TO FRANCES STOKE, AND A LOT OF THE CABINETS…HAD BEEN REMOVED BY THEN.” “HE WAS QUITE A SHREWD BUSINESS MAN. HE WAS QUITE A PRIVATE PERSON. HE DIDN’T TAKE HOLIDAYS, BECAUSE, IF YOU TOOK A HOLIDAY, YOU’D HAVE TO GET A PHARMACIST TO COME IN, AND LOOK AFTER THE STORE. HE DIDN’T LIKE THE THOUGHT OF ANYBODY LOOKING THROUGH HIS RECORDS, AND KNOWING HIS BUSINESS, SO HE RARELY TOOK HOLIDAYS. HE TOOK A FEW, BUT MOST OFTEN, MY MOTHER, AND SISTER, AND I WOULD GO ON HOLIDAYS SOMEWHERE. IN 1967, HE HAD AN APPENDICITIS ATTACK, AND HE DIDN’T WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. THAT WAS AT NIGHT, SO, IN THE MORNING HE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, AND STILL DIDN’T WANT TO COMPLAIN A WHOLE LOT, AND THEY KEPT PUTTING OFF HIS SURGERY. FINALLY, BY SUPPERTIME, THEY REMOVED HIS APPENDIX AND IT FELL APART. THERE WAS INFECTION THROUGHOUT HIS BODY, AND HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FROM EARLY JULY UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER, ALMOST DIED. MY MOTHER WAS RUNNING THE STORE, BECAUSE SHE WAS A PHARMACIST, AND SHE WAS NEW TO THE BUSINESS. I KNOW SHE WAS VERY STRESSED AT THE BEGINNING PARTICULARLY. THE DRUG TRAVELERS WOULD COME IN TO REPLENISH THE STOCKS, AND THEY SAID, ‘IT’S OK. HE ALWAYS ORDERED THIS MUCH. IN HIS BUSINESS, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDED, AND SO, WE KNOW. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WOULD ORDER.’ THEN SHE GOT MORE COMFORTABLE AS THE MONTHS WENT ON, AND COULD DO THAT ON HER OWN. HE DID, AT ONE POINT, WANT TO EXPAND. WHEN THE HAIG CLINIC DECIDED THEY WOULD PUT A PHARMACY IN, THEY TOOK BIDS, AND I REMEMBER THEM SITTING AT THE TABLE TALKING ABOUT IT, WHETHER HE SHOULD DO THIS. IT WAS REALLY RISKY FOR HIM TO KIND OF PUT HIMSELF OUT THERE, AND HAVE ALL HIS CONTEMPORARIES KNOW THAT THIS WAS WHAT HE WAS DOING, BUT DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD DO IT. AND, HE WAS QUITE DEVASTATED NOT TO GET IT. DRAFFIN’S GOT IT, AND HIS ASSESSMENT WAS THAT THEY HAD DONE THE ‘SCHMOOZING’ NECESSARY TO GET IT, WHICH WASN’T IN HIS ‘TOOL KIT’. HE DIDN’T DO THAT.” “[DAD WAS] VERY POPULAR WITH HIS CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE HE LOOKED AFTER THEM VERY WELL. HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY—TALKED TO THEM; KNEW THE FARMERS THAT CAME IN FROM MILK RIVER…HE HAD VERY LOYAL CUSTOMERS. HE NEVER QUESTIONED A DOCTOR, OR VERY, VERY RARELY. IF THE DOCTOR SAID THIS WAS WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO, THEN THAT’S WHAT YOU DID. PHARMACY NOW IS VERY DIFFERENT, AND PHARMACISTS GIVE A LOT OF ADVICE. IF HIS CUSTOMERS WOULD ASK HIM FOR ADVICE, ABOUT A PRESCRIPTION OR SOMETHING, HIS NORMAL ANSWER WAS, ‘YOU NEED TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THAT’, BECAUSE THAT WAS OVER-STEPPING HIS BOUNDARIES. HE WAS VERY PARTICULAR. NEVER LET A PRESCRIPTION GO OUT WITHOUT CHECKING IT WITH ANOTHER PERSON, AT LEAST TWICE. DIDN’T WANT TO MAKE A MISTAKE. REALLY TOOK THAT PART OF THE JOB SERIOUSLY. HE WAS INNOVATIVE WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF HIS BUSINESS. I KNOW HE GOT THE ELIZABETH ARDEN CONTRACT, WHICH THEY USUALLY DIDN’T PUT INTO DRUG STORES (THEY WOULD USUALLY JUST PUT IT IN DEPARTMENT STORES), AND HE GOT THAT IN THE ‘50S, AND HE WAS JUST THRILLED. IT WAS VERY PRESTIGIOUS AT THAT POINT, AND HE WAS THRILLED WITH THAT.” “WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON USED TO BE BUSINESS CLOSING IN LETHBRIDGE, AND STORES WOULD BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY, BUT THERE WAS ALWAYS A DRUG STORE OPEN. SO, THEY WOULD TAKE TURNS, AND EVERYBODY HAD A LITTLE SIGN IN THEIR DOORWAY, WHICH SHOWED WHICH STORE WOULD BE OPEN…[WHEN I WAS YOUNGER] HE’D PAY US $.25 AN HOUR TO DUST, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO AIR-CONDITIONING AT THAT TIME, AND THE DOOR WAS ALWAYS OPEN, SO DUST WOULD BLOW IN, SO YOU WERE ALWAYS DUSTING ALL THESE THOUSANDS OF LITTLE BOXES AND BOTTLES AND THINGS…HE WOULD SEND ME OVER TO ANOTHER DRUG STORE TO GET SOMETHING THAT HE NEEDED. I BELIEVE IT WAS HIS IDEA THEY KIND OF FORMED A COOPERATIVE, NOT A FORMAL ONE, BUT THEY WOULD ORDER TOGETHER, HE AND A NUMBER OF OTHER [SHOPS] WHO WOULD ORDER TOGETHER TO GET A BETTER PRICE, AND I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY IN THE LATE ‘50S…HE WAS AS INNOVATIVE AS HE COULD BE, GIVEN THE SIZE OF HIS STORE…VERY PROUD OF WHAT HE HAD ACCOMPLISHED, THOUGH HE NEVER WANTED TO BE A PHARMACIST. HE WANTED TO BE A FARMER. COULDN’T DO THAT, BECAUSE HE HAD NO MONEY…IT WAS DURING THE ‘30S, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THAT HE COULD ARTICLE WITH [TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT]…HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS A PHARMACIST IN CALGARY, AND HE SAID, ‘I’LL LOAN YOU THE MONEY IF YOU TAKE PHARMACY’…SO THAT’S WHAT HE DID.” “MY MOTHER THOUGHT IT WAS WONDERFUL [THAT THE PHARMACY WAS IN THE HOTEL] BECAUSE…ANYBODY WHO WAS ANYBODY WOULD STAY AT THE MARQUIS HOTEL…MY MOTHER LOVED THE BALLET, SO SHE WAS ALWAYS THRILLED WHEN THE WINNIPEG BALLET MEMBERS WOULD COME INTO THE DRUG STORE, AND SHE WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK WITH THEM…SVEN ERICKSON WAS A BIG DRAW FOR THE HOTEL…HE AND DAD WERE FRIENDS…THE MARQUIS HOTEL WAS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PLACE TO BE, AND IT WAS ON A REALLY GOOD CORNER, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM TWO BANKS, AND THE POST OFFICE, SO THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC AROUND THERE, SO IT WAS A GOOD BUSINESS. STUBBS WAS THE FIRST STORE, I BELIEVE, OUT OF DOWNTOWN, AND THEY BECAME SOME COMPETITION, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW KIND OF STORE.” “I DID WRITE A SECTION IN MY FAMILY HISTORY BOOK, THE WILLOUGHBY FAMILY, ABOUT BEING IN THE DRUG STORE, AND A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MY SISTER AND I BOTH REMEMBER. THERE WAS ONE—I’M PRETTY SURE IT WAS JOHNSON PEANUTS, AND IT WAS A WHITE METAL, FREE-STANDING PEANUT STAND, AND IT HAD A LIGHT BULB IN IT. UNDERNEATH IT WAS A STORAGE, AND THERE’D BE…OPEN BOXES OF NUTS…AT THE TOP WAS A SLANTED GLASS FRONT, WITH METAL OPENING AT THE BACK. IT HAD LIKE A ‘LAZY SUSAN’, WITH BINS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ‘LAZY SUSAN’, WITH THE LIGHT BULB ABOVE, AND THE LIGHT BULB WAS JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP THE NUTS WARM. WHEN YOU OPENED THE CASE, THERE WERE BOXES, IF SOMEBODY WAS BUYING A LOT OF NUTS, BUT THERE WERE BAGS OF DIFFERENT SIZES. THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS JUST PROBABLY 3X5, AND IF WE WERE DEEMED WORTHY, AT THE MOMENT, WE COULD GET ONE OF THOSE 3X5 BAGS OF CASHEWS. THAT WAS ALWAYS A TREAT, AND JUST THE SMELL OF IT WAS SO GOOD! THE OTHER THING THAT WAS REALLY DIFFERENT, WAS…THIS CARD STAND, FOR GREETING CARDS, AND IT WAS WOODEN, AND IT HAD RACKS, BUT THERE WAS JUST ONE CARD IN EACH RACK, AND IT WAS IN A PLASTIC HOLDER, AND IT HAD A NUMBER ON IT, LIKE A5. IF YOU LIKED THIS CARD, YOU COULD OPEN IT…YOU WOULD GET SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU OPEN THE DRAWER, AND FIND THE CARD, A5. ONE OF MY JOBS, WHEN I WAS THERE, WAS TO REFILL THE DRAWERS WHEN THE NEW CARDS CAME IN, AND TAKE THE OLD ONE OUT OF THE PLASTIC, AND PUT THE NEW ONE IN. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF A COOL JOB. I REMEMBER WHEN THE NEW CARDS CAME IN, THAT WERE THE LONG, NARROW ONES (AND THEY WERE USUALLY FUNNY), BECAUSE THEY WOULDN’T FIT INTO THIS THING, SO THERE HAD TO BE A SPECIAL STAND. THINGS LIKE THAT—THEY JUST HAD ‘PERSONALITY’.” FOR MORE INFORMATION INCLUDING LETHBRIDGE HERALD ARTICLES AND THE FULL INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION, PLEASE SEE THE PERMANENT FILE P20190005001-GA.

- THE NAME J. E. RANNARD APPEARS ON THE TAG OF THE FRATERNAL JACKET. IN A DECEMBER 24, 1948, LETHBRIDGE HERALD ARTICLE ON J. E. RANNARD’S RETIREMENT, HIS BIOGRPAHICAL DETAILS WERE PROVIDED: “AFTER ALMOST 39 YEARS SERVICE WITH THE C.P.R, JOHN EDGAR RANNARD OF 642 TWELFTH ST. S., WILL RETIRE ON PENSION EFFECTIVE JAN. 1, 1949. MR. RANNARD, WELL KNOWN IN THE CITY, HOLDS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED RECORDS IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA IN THE MASONIC ORDER. BORN IN LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, IN 1883, MR. RANNARD CAME TO CANADA IN 1908, COMING DIRECTLY TO THE CITY. HE WAS WITH THE OLD ALBERTA RAILWAY AND IRRIGATION COMPANY FOR ABOUT A YEAR, WORKING IN THE SHOPS. FROM THE A. R. AND I. HE MOVED TO THE C.P.R. ON SEPT. 20, 1909, IN THE FREIGHT DEPARTMENT. HE SERVED AS A BRAKEMAN, TRAINMAN, WITH THE BRIDGE AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND IN 1936 WAS BACK IN THE FREIGHT OFFICE AS CAR SERVICE CLERK. HE HAS BEEN A SERVICE CLERK EVER SINCE. MR. RANNARD IS AN OLDTIMER IN THE MASONIC ORDER AND HAS HELD NO LESS THAN NINE IMPORTANT POSITIONS. HIS LONG, FINE RECORD IN THE ORDER HAS BROUGHT HIM MUCH ACCLAIM. HE SERVED AS MASTER OF LETHBRIDGE LODGE NO. 39. A F. & A M. IN 1918 [AND] HAS BEEN PAST DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTER, PAST GRAND FIRST PRINCIPAL OF THE ROYAL ARCH MASONS OF ALBERTA, HONORARY PAST GRAND FIRST PRINCIPAL OF SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA. HONORARY PAST HIGH PRIEST OF MONTANA, HONORARY PAST GRAND MASTER OF THE ROYAL AND SELECT MASTERS OF MONTANA, PAST GRAND MASTER OF THE ROYAL AND SELECT MASTERS OF WESTERN CANADA. PAST GRAND COMMANDER NOAH OF THE ROYAL ARK MANNERS OF WESTERN CANADA, PAST PROVINCIAL GRAND PRIOR OF SOVEREIGN GREAT PRIORY OF CANADA KNIGHTS TEMPLERS, AND PAST GRAND VICEROY OF THE GRAND COUNCIL OF THE RED CROSS OF CONSTANTINE OF CANADA. BESIDES HOLDING THOSE POSITIONS, MR. RANNARD IS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE LETHBRIDGE LODGE OF PERFECTION OF ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE, MEMBER OF DELTA SOVEREIGN CHAPTER OF ROSE CROIX ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE, A MEMBER OF THE NOBLE OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE OF CALGARY AND A CHARTER MEMBER, MAPLE LEAF CHAPTER ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR NO. 7 AND PAST PATRON OF THE SAME.” JOHN EDGAR RANNARD’S INTEREST IN PLANTS WAS ALSO OUTLINED IN THE DECEMBER 24, 1948 LETHBRIDGE HERALD ARTICLE: “A GREAT LOVER OF FLOWERS AND PLANTS, MR. RANNARD IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE LETHBNDGE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY AND HAS WON FIVE MEDALS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY FOR WINNING THE MOST POINTS IN A SHOW. HE GROWS MANY UNUSUAL PLANTS, SPECIALIZING IN TROPICAL PLANTS. MR. RANNARD IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE CITY WHO HAS GROWN ORCHIDS. AMONG THE SPECIES OF PLANTS HE GROWS IN A LOCAL GREENHOUSE ARE ORANGES, LEMONS, FEJIOAS, GUAVA AND MANY KINDS OF CACTUS. HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING MORE TIME DEVELOPING HIS PLANTS, AND IS ALSO PLANNING TRIPS ATTENDING VARIOUS GRAND LODGES OF HIS ORDER IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED STATES. WELL LIKED BY ALL, MR. RANNARD WAS NEVER MARRIED… MR. RANNARD HAS TRAVELLED ALL OVER THE U.S. AND CANADA AND SAYS ‘LETHBRIDGE IS AS GOOD AS ANY CITY I'VE SEEN.’ HE PLANS ON STAYING IN THE CITY AND DEVELOPING HIS PLANTS…” A LETHBRIDGE HERALD OBITUARY STATED J. E. RANNARD PASSED AWAY IN NOVEMBER 1952. IN 2017, THE LETHBRIDGE MUSICAL THEATRE/PLAYGOERS OFFERED TO DONATE ITEMS FROM THEIR COSTUME COLLECTION WHEN CLEANING OUT THE BASEMENT OF THE YATES CENTRE FOR RENOVATION. IN A MARCH 3RD, 2020, INTERVIEW, COLLECTIONS ASSISTANT KIRSTAN SCHAMUHN INTERVIEWED THREE LETHBRIDGE PLAYGOERS MEMBERS—GEORGE MANN, LINDA JOHNSON AND ELAINE JAGIELSKI. THEIR COMMENTS ON THE DONATED OBJECTS ARE PROVIDED BELOW. WHEN ASKED IF THEY REMEMBERED THE JACKET BEING USED IN ANY OF THE THEATRE PRODUCTIONS, LINDA SPECULATED: “[IT] KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOME THINGS THAT WERE WORN IN FRAN’S PRODUCTION OF ‘ALL IS CALM’." LINDA ADDED: “...I DEFINITELY CAN’T CONFIRM THAT IT WAS IN A PRODUCTION.” LINDA SPOKE ABOUT HOW THE PLAYGOERS RECEIVED THE COSTUME PIECES AND WHY THEY OFFERED THE ITEMS TO THE GALT MUSEUM: “I THINK HOW WE CAME ABOUT THESE [COSTUME PIECES] WAS ON A REGULAR BASIS- BECAUSE WE HAVE…GENERAL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT HAVE THESE ITEMS IN THEIR CLOSETS AND DECIDE THAT MAYBE, SOME ORGANIZATION COULD USE THEM IN SOME WAY… I THINK THAT’S HOW WE BECAME OWNERS OF THESE… OF COURSE, WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH ROOM FOR STORAGE SO WE HAVE A CAGE CLEAN OUT PERIODICALLY AND IT JUST PROBABLY CAME TO THE FACT THAT WE PROBABLY WEREN’T GOING TO BE USING THESE ANY TIME SOON BUT DON’T THROW THEM OUT. I MEAN THERE IS HISTORY INVOLVED WITH THESE. ALSO SOME OF THE COSTUMES, THE ACTUAL UNIFORMS WERE QUITE SMALL IN SIZE. DIDN’T REALLY FIT ANYONE.” LINDA SAID: “…SO IT ISN’T EVEN ON RECORD WHERE WE GOT THESE COSTUMES FROM.” ELAINE ADDED: “...SO ODDLY WE’VE HAD THESE THINGS IN OUR CARE BUT HAVEN’T REALLY UTILIZED THEM AND MAYBE THEY WERE USED ONCE AT SOME POINT BUT THAT’S EVEN QUESTIONABLE.” LINDA TALKED ABOUT THE PLAYGOERS COSTUME STORAGE IN THE GENEVIEVE E. YATES MEMORIAL CENTRE: “WE HAVE HAD STORAGE AREA IN THE YATES BASEMENT SINCE IT WAS BUILT...” GEORGE ADDED THE DATE THE CENTRE OPENED: “…IT WAS OPENED IN 1966.” ELAINE COMMENTED: “…THE VISION WAS TO ALWAYS HAVE PROVISIONS FOR PLAYGOERS TO HAVE STORAGE SPACE…” LINDA CONTINUED: “[IT WAS] GENEVIEVE YATES [IN] HER WILL. THAT PLAYGOERS BE ALLOWED TO HAVE STORAGE FOR THAT VERY THING.” FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VIEW THE FULL INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT AND REFERENCED ARTICLES, PLEASE SEE THE RECORDS PERMANENT FILE.
