Blogger Raymond Tomlin as James Skitt Matthews, the founder of Kitsilano

Lest you think that the author of this blog looks just like the dashing personage of yore you see above, allow VanRamblings to disavow you of that notion, and state for the record that who you see in the photo may indeed be the estimable Mr. Tomlin, but said person is impersonating one James Skitt Matthews, a founder of the Kitsilano community 100 years ago, and the City of Vancouver’s first archivist. All of this foofaraw, of course, taking place as part of the Kitsilano Centenary celebration in late June.
