The Waugh Family
- California - Jock Waugh was honorably discharged from the Royal Canadian Air Force on May 8, 1946. He may have returned to Powell River and Nanaimo and then proceeded to enter the United States from Victoria aboard the SS Iroquois on June 21, 1946, with the intent of establishing permanent residency in the USA. Winnie entered the USA from Toronto through Detroit, Michigan, and they probably both made their way directly to the San Francisco Bay Area where Winnie's aunts Catherine (Kit) Hunter and Maggie Robina (Ina) Hunter were living.
Jock attended the University of California working on a PhD. and also as a teacher at Piedmont High School around 1947-1948.
- Douglas Bay - Douglas Bay (near Powell River) was a summertime social gathering place for the Russell and Waugh families and a place for rest and relaxation for a few years after the war.
Glenda Waugh Glenda Waugh was born in Powell River in May of 1950
Tragically, Winnie Russell died of cancer in Oakland, California, on November 1, 1950, after a short illness and just six months after the birth of Glenda.
Joy Russell helped Jock with taking care of Glenda in California and back in Powell River. Douglas Bay continued to be a retreat for the Waugh Family. ©
