Lynn's Notes:

When dad had a mind to build something, he made great stuff. Trouble was, he under-built everything, and what looked like a sturdy vehicle, would last for perhaps two good runs. St. Andrews and St. George's Streets bordered our block of East Fifth and were two of the steepest hills in North Vancouver. Our "Dad-made" go-karts disintegrated instantly - but they had potential. Each one he built lasted a bit longer than the last one, and we always hoped for a kart that would make it through the summer.
