Dear Editor:
Last summer at the open house for the headquarters for North Shore Rescue I met Tim Jones. It was at the most 30 seconds as he was required to make a speech and was on the run. At least I had the opportunity to shake his hand and thank him for being there for those of us who regularly trek about on the mountains.
When I heard there was going to be a parade for him I was surprised he was receiving such a demonstration. But when I attended it I was extremely happy for him and proud of the magnificent send-off arranged in only six days.
Once home I watched the ceremony inside of Centennial Theatre on my computer and learned a lot more about a man I already admired.
I thought that Rey Sargent Park at 21st and Lonsdale would be a fitting place for a statue of Tim Jones looking towards the mountains.
