When I re-read my book, I realize how much material relates directly to the weeks I've spent here in this coastal community. When museum curator, Lesia Davis (recently nominated as Campbell River's Citizen of the Year), and city councillor Morgan Ostler, got wind of its publication, they organized a signing and celebration at the museum. Outside of the galleries in a glassed in area overlooking Discovery Passage, we toasted the food of the coast and the stories that weave us together as a nation. We ate local cheeses, drank good wine and finished off with Peggy Morris' Amazing Butter Tarts.
