Hello.....I received this message below from a friend regarding Jim Bundy's photo collection and would dearly love to hear from him. I am a director with the Friends of Barkerville and feel some of the pictures he has would be of great value to have for Barkerville and Quesnel area. I did send him an email but have had no response from him. I wondered if you knew how to reach him?? Thankyou for your time.
