My Father, Eldon Boyd, was our 1st
principal of Hudson's Bay. When he
left Vancouver he moved to Inglewood CA. He was principal of
Morningside High School until he retired. He and my mother took a
retirement job as "Grandparents" for a wealthy family that had lost both
their parents at a young age. Since their children had no Grandparents,
my parents were hired to live on the property and become Grandparents to
their children. He retired from that job when he was 83 years old. My
Father past away 4 years ago. He loved life and all the kids that went
through the schools where he was Principal.
