Happy 100th Edgar!
Posted on January 7th, 2010 No comments
The BC & Yukon Newspapers Association would like to extend warm wishes to honourary life member Edgar Dunning and his family, as he celebrates his 100th Birthday. Happy Birthday Edgar!
Born in Elbow, Sask., Edgar is the BCYCNA’s first centenarian. He moved to British Columbia at the age of 12, where his father, a printer, founded the Delta Optimist in 1922. The newspaper was first housed in the Delta Hotel’s former saloon and Edgar recalls helping set type — by hand.
The quick-witted Edgar continues write a weekly newspaper column for the Delta Optimist, which he’s been writing for over 58 years.
