ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Wallace Baikie (1902-1987) Wallace moved to Campbell River in 1955 and was a resident of Campbell River for 31 years. Throughout that time he was active in the community and often serving in a number of different capacities simultaneously. Wallace served on the Campbell River Municipal Council for 12 years starting in 1966. He was an active member of the Rotary Club and for many years organized the club's Pioneer Banquets. He was a Mason, a member of the Shrine, and was also active in the Truck Loggers Association, of which he was a founding member. Like his brother Jack, he served two years as president of that association.

Wallace was always interested in preserving history and later in life published three books. The first book he wrote was entitled Rolling with the Times, and was autobiographical and detailed the history of the Baikie and Piercy families. This was followed by Strathcona, a History of British Columbia's First Provincial Park, and From Gypo to B. T. O., a history of the Truck Loggers Association. The proceeds of his second book were donated to the Museum at Campbell River. The City of Campbell River established the Community Builder Award in January 2007, and Wallace Baikie won this award in 2008!
