Another BC story:
On our first trip to see the interior of the province with our friends in '78, we stayed at an old edifice called the Revelstoke Hotel.
A month or so later, visiting my folks, when I mentioned the hotel by name, my mother got an odd expression on her face and said, " You're uncle,Slim was killed there."
Turns out around the time of the First World War, he worked in the hotel and was shot by some guy who was drunk and fighting. I knew my mother's half brothers were a bit older, I was shocked to learn of his violent death.
