Haupt & Helm Postille
"One comes across plenty of these in the German countryside." /Terese 
"... we stood at the railing and watched broad waves roll swiftly in, then smash up against the concrete, and finally disintegrate into splendidly high plumes of froth that swept over the corner." /Ed. 
"Dies ist eines unter Theodors Ahnenphotos vom Sommer 1957, die neuerdings die Wand in unserem 'Herrenzimmer' zieren:..." /mh  |
"In these days of September the German Parliament is discussing how to proceed with its military engagement in Afghanistan" /mh

"In the meantime Madelon Cardillac, the betrothed of the unfortunate suspect, is still probably weeping violently in her refuge in the Mademoiselle's home." /Ed.

| The Wray Times is a bi-monthly private newspaper (or magazine) distributed to our friends and family. Because we are "non-profit" and publish some copyrighted material, the issues presented on this website may be missing many contributions which we publish in the "hard copy".
We do often include some general articles but most of the articles are of a rather personal and subjective type: in the making of this website we have referred to privacy as well. The Wray Times was started in February 1995 by me, the Editor-in-Chief. We now have about eighty readers almost around the world. Since its very beginning, it has been printed in both English and German, but recently we have also provided translations or "Lotsen". By now, we also have many reporters, letter-writers and freelance contributors who provide us with much good material. Not only that, but also an able layout manager, Margarete H., and the full technical support of tvh Systems, Inc. In the September-November 2000 issue we have introduced a new logo. Based on my draft, Mama drew, in pen and ink,the now official insignia of the Wray Times. The bear represents Germany (though it does originate in Berlin especially), and the bighorn ram is found on the British Columbian crest and therefore represents Canada. At the top you will read the motto "lire et se divertir," "to read and enjoy oneself," and those of you with microscopes will notice the tiny "mr2000" under the feet of the sheep. Therefore, another issue is put into circulation with the best wishes to its readers from its editor,
Why "Wray Times"?
We have yet to find out where the name of the head quarter's avenue originates. Previous research only turned up two immigrant families of that name in British Colombia, but direct links to this locality are not apparent. One railway-hobbyist among Theodore's wider circle of colleagues suggested a link to the former railway engineers for the island railway that led parallel to the stretch of the West Saanich Road we are connected to, but so far searches in the University of Victoria's library and at several local branches of the Greater Public Library and on the world-wide-web did not reveal any related documentation. We encourage everybody who might help with information to contact Edith on this page, since there were already two persons who approached the Wray Times to inquire about possible family links. Abschied von der Wray Times
Seit März 1995 hatte "Editor in chief" E. unsere Familienzeitung herausgegeben. Bald kamen ergänzend der deutsche Lotse und der englische pilot hinzu, womit die Wray Times ganz und gar zweisprachig wurde. Vor allem aber verband sie uns Ausgewanderte mit unseren alten und mit unseren neugewonnenen Freunden in und ausserhalb Kanadas. E. hat also den Editor- Stab abgelegt, deswegen schlage ich nun eine neue Seite auf, damit wir weiter in Verbindung bleiben. /mh 10. Februar 2007 PS: Of course, the Archives of the Wray Times stay put for further perusing. |
