Dear Reader,Since I have been very behindhand in the Wray Times, for obvious university reasons, I decided to skip October, November, and December in order to have a decently up-to-date issue.We are all doing well. I still enjoy going to the university very much even though I am in the second half of the educational year, in which I tend to do worse and be more lazy than in the first. Next year I will go to UBC again. Hopefully this issue of the Wray Times will make amends for our equal neglect of friends and family, and reawaken confidence in our future diligence! Edith H. (Editor-in-Chief)

Dear Reader,After a long and thorough neglect of our friends and family – which at least may not come as a shock due to smaller specimens of such behaviour in the past – it is high time that I try to repair the communications and become a (relatively) trusty editor once more. It is certain that another issue of the Wray Times will follow this one; there is also no dearth of material for a third. You will perhaps observe that some of the following articles are not particularly well contextualized; this is due to the fact that many of them are extracts from our Victoria-Vancouver e-mail exchanges. At any rate, we hope you will enjoy this issue. Edith H. (Editor-in-Chief)

| The Wray Times is a bi-monthly private newspaper (or magazine) distributed to our friends and family. Because we are "non-profit" and publish some copyrighted material, the issues presented on this website may be missing many contributions which we publish in the "hard copy".
We do often include some general articles but most of the articles are of a rather personal and subjective type: in the making of this website we have referred to privacy as well. The Wray Times was started in February 1995 by me, the Editor-in-Chief. We now have about eighty readers almost around the world. Since its very beginning, it has been printed in both English and German, but recently we have also provided translations or "Lotsen". By now, we also have many reporters, letter-writers and freelance contributors who provide us with much good material. Not only that, but also an able layout manager, Margarete H., and the full technical support of tvh Systems, Inc. In the September-November 2000 issue we have introduced a new logo. Based on my draft, Mama drew, in pen and ink,the now official insignia of the Wray Times. The bear represents Germany (though it does originate in Berlin especially), and the bighorn ram is found on the British Columbian crest and therefore represents Canada. At the top you will read the motto "lire et se divertir," "to read and enjoy oneself," and those of you with microscopes will notice the tiny "mr2000" under the feet of the sheep. Therefore, another issue is put into circulation with the best wishes to its readers from its editor,
Why "Wray Times"?
We have yet to find out where the name of the head quarter's avenue originates. Previous research only turned up two immigrant families of that name in British Colombia, but direct links to this locality are not apparent. One railway-hobbyist among Theodore's wider circle of colleagues suggested a link to the former railway engineers for the island railway that led parallel to the stretch of the West Saanich Road we are connected to, but so far searches in the University of Victoria's library and at several local branches of the Greater Public Library and on the world-wide-web did not reveal any related documentation. We encourage everybody who might help with information to contact Edith on this page, since there were already two persons who approached the Wray Times to inquire about possible family links. |
