Perhaps you've already done this but a Google search brings up the following sites which mention Teddy Lyons: http://www.terracelibrary.ca/history1/istradeski/stradeski.html includes a photo of Teddy Lyons on a streetcar http://www.vancouverhistory.ca/chronology6.htm http://www.vancouverhistory.ca/chronology8.htm http://www.powerpioneers.com/BC_Hydro_History/1860-1929/chronology.aspx There is also a small soft cover book called Vancouver - A History in Photographs by Aynsley Vogel and Dana Wyse published by Altitude Publishing which has a photo on page 72 of Teddy Lyons on a streetcar (photo credits indicate Vancouver Public Library so perhaps you could try contacting them for further information). The caption in the books says "On the steps is Teddy Lyons, the famous quick-witted conductor of this B.C. Electric observation car. Such cars toured sightseers around the luxurious Shaughnessy mansions and around Stanley Park from 1909 to 1950." I bought the book in Vancouver's Gastown area last summer, about $15. Hope this will be of some help to you.

He did this job from 1911 to about 1950. He was my grandmother's cousin. I have one photo of the observation car, and one short write-up from The Province, Sept. 20, 1998 written by Chuck Davis, that a kind gentleman sent me a couple of years ago. > > I'm hoping to gather more photos and information on this tour, and hopefully a better photo of Teddy, as the one that was in the Province, by the time it was photo-copied and sent to me, is not usable to add to my album. > Any help or suggestions on finding further information would be graefully appreciated. > Thank you, Judy > Blackfalds, Alberta. > > > ==== CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA Mailing List ==== > Visit the British Columbia Gen Web page at > http://www.rootsweb.com/~canbc/ > > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. > Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.8.3 - Release Date: 25/03/2005 > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
