Bus Griffiths

Bus Griffiths was a gift to the book world. We met Bus and Marg when Harbour Publishing put out NOW YOU'RE LOGGING. It was our first fall in the book store and I expected a logger--one of those big strapping fellows. When Bus walked through the door, imagine my surprise, to find this slight gentle man introducing himself.
And what a lovely man he was--he doffed his cap and sat to exchange stories with some of the old loggers who dropped in. Some years later when we saw him again, he told the story of having an art show in Vancouver. Some of his old friends spent a very long time examining one painting. Then they came and said "You know Bus, I don't think you got that rope quite right." I expect they were wrong. The reviews for Bus's book commented on the the astonishing detail he included and praised dit as an invaluable tool for researchers. It was very special to have met Bus and
and learn about logging from a pro.
