>....it takes all kinds to make the world
go 'round..if we were all the same it would be a boring place...<
Geordie Dobson, former owner of the Keno City Hotel and present owner of
the Keno Cafe, as well as the famous Keno "bottle house" . (He built
out of 32.000 (empty!) beer bottles, before recycling was introduced to
solve a bar-owner's problem in an active mining area...)
A sailor from Scotland who anchored in Keno City more than half a century
ago. He sailed around the world several times, but when he came to Keno
he decided that this is the place he was looking for.....
In 1952, while on his way back home to England, he met a few people
in a Vancouver bar, talking about a silver mine in the North. Silver
was the magical word and so he decided to join the men and travel the 2000
miles north to work in the silver mines. And like so many others, who planned
on staying "just for a few months..." he is still around. |
