While a contractor was changing some office cabinets in Jana OB次元官网网址機onnorB次元官网网址檚 1929 Saanich home, he found a small, fragile paper book behind a wall.

from

B次元官网网址淗e brought it down and gave it to my husband and, he kind of wasnB次元官网网址檛 that interested in it,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址機onnor said. B次元官网网址淚 had a look at it and I read the whole thing and this is like, written by a child, it was really sweet, talking about her dog and the puppies that were born and going to a dog show and I said, B次元官网网址渢hatB次元官网网址檚 so interestingB次元官网网址� that it had her full name on it..B次元官网网址�

The book was written by Alison Snape, and called B次元官网网址淭he Story of Lassie B次元官网网址� an Irish Setter.B次元官网网址�

It seemed to be written in the 1940s, but the date is obscured by a tear in the cover. She wondered if the young girl used to live in her house, so she went upstairs to the office and some wood behind the wall was marked B次元官网网址淔or Snape,B次元官网网址� seemingly part of an old wooden crate from StockerB次元官网网址檚 Moving and Storage.

OB次元官网网址機onnor thought about it for a few days, sharing the story with friends who thought she should post it on a Facebook group, , where she would meet some history buffs. Commenters began to dig through old newspaper archives and wedding announcements, finding additional details on dog shows where Alison could have gotten Lassie from, a public speaking prize she may have won at St. MargaretB次元官网网址檚 School, and much more.

B次元官网网址淚 couldnB次元官网网址檛 believe how quickly everyone put that up,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址機onnor said.

She also posted it to the Victoria B.C. subreddit, and 13 minutes later, there was a breakthrough.

B次元官网网址淪he points it out to her co-worker who says B次元官网网址極h, my gosh, my nana is Alison Snape!B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�

After making contact, Alison, her daughter, and her granddaughter will meet with OB次元官网网址機onnor on Monday to chat about the property.

B次元官网网址淚 put it out on the internet as a long shot, thinking somebody might enjoy looking into this puzzle, but I had no idea that we would connect with her family so quickly,B次元官网网址� OB次元官网网址機onnor said.

OB次元官网网址機onnor said she hasnB次元官网网址檛 yet spoken to Alison herself, but OB次元官网网址機onnor has been told that Alison is still B次元官网网址渧ery fit and healthy,B次元官网网址� so she looks forward to learning about the Snapes and their old home.
