As I did 10 years ago for the 70th anniversary of Molly’s death, I kept it short and sweet: “In ever loving memory of Molly Justice, murdered near this spot, January 18, 1943. 80 years ago.” It isn’t much but my well-honed cynicism tells me it won’t last long. I regret that I didn’t notice the shadow across Molly’s picture while I was framing this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e94af42437b8e5cb51b7789/1672714412314-Q9OPBP6AOAYNMFLWK576/Molly+Justice.png Editorials - Editorially speaking... - Make it stand out Molly Justice https://britishcolumbiachronicles.ca/editorials-1/editorially-speaking-105 monthly 0.5 2023-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e94af42437b8e5cb51b7789/a5b68a40-175c-4a95-a535-4eb17e5681f7/Armstrong+Cheese+Factory.png Editorials - Editorially speaking... - Make it stand out Armstrong Cheese Factory circa 1940's. —Royal BC Museum and Archives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e94af42437b8e5cb51b7789/5dfd7e28-ccdf-4966-8e6d-a75c11c32651/Naramata%2BS%2B%26%2BSS%2BSicamous.%2B2022.%2BGenadity%2BS.jpg Editorials - Editorially speaking... - Make it stand out The steam tug S.S.
