View of our first exhibit from November. 1998
Did you know that our display case was modeled after the Museum of
Anthropology at UBC? We had help from David Cunningham who works at the MOA as well as Doug Frankson and Joe Wai, architects for the design. John Ko did the assembly. For the exhibit display, considerable work was done by Herb Lim. Willie Chong and Saintfield Wong, then curator of The Chinese Museum. Donations of the exhibit came from members of Pacific Unit 280 and the veterans from Victoria, B.C. Do you have anything to give us?
