The Summer of 1975

[mbarrick]

The Duncan Aquanis Swim Team float. The trailer is by "Al Higgins Wrought Iron". Hank Barrick made the swimmer-and-whale, a variation of which is still the logo for the aquatic centre in Duncan. Photo by Hank Barrick. Scanned from a very old, very faded negative by me just now because I have the urge to do something creative, but a dearth of energy and creativity. I still have and use the camera this was made with.

Maybe for one of the bathtub races across Georgia Straight to Nanaimo. I vaguely recall those being huge, popular events in the early 1970s
