Brenda Stewart asked David Grove:

Hello...I came across your book recently and was most entertained by it. I actually live in College Park, Port Moody and have for almost 30 years. My children went to College Park, Seaview and then of course PMSS. We have a large group of women in our "College Park Book Club". I would like to order a few books as my turn is coming up to host and pick a book. How you pick College Park area as the setting?

David Grove Hello. I'm sorry. I just found your question regarding my book The Yearbook one year late. I'm very sorry. To answer your question I grew up in the College Park/Evergreen area. I went to Seaview, and then Banting, and then Moody Senior down the hill. I still live in College Park area, and in the summers, I like to walk through the Seaview lot, through the main entrance and then to the back of the school, along the gravel field, on my way up the hill to Westhill Park. Growing up, everyone lived within this area. Now everyone's gone away, which is very strange.
