I have some correspondence of the elder Professor Edward Odlum writing to his son Eddie in Lucknow, Ont. I know the professor died in 1935, and his son Ed died in 1974, but there seems to be confusion on multiple websites as to whether the younger Edward had the same first and middle names of his father (Edward Faraday) or was named Charles Edward Odlum. Also, is it true that the younger Ed was an accountant? Feel free to contact me at don6glickstein@gmail.com

Oh my goodness me Stacy, any Information would be amazing xx

I spent summers across from Rockwoods and played with Terry and Victor in the 50’s, as well as the cousins.
I would like to contact young Victor, now about 74 years old, with an enquiry about Don’s house at that time.
You can DM me thru Facebook. I have already DM you.
Thanks Paddy B

Hello Suella, I can help you with info if you like. Stacey

Hello Paul, where is this chageau in France? I’m one of Victor Odlum’s grand-daughters and I now live in France.

That was my uncle Don. Theresa was my second cousin Terry. Her death was very sad.

Stacey,
Would really like to chat with you

It’s no wonder then there was so much abuse, if it’s all run by missionaries with no one questioning them or how they are governing our families. These so called missionaries were praying on their vulnerability, and lack of education. Being very hypocritical to say the least.

Hi. Yes we were neighbours and he had asked that that land and house be given and used to the university, and some how the developers manipulated, with out consent, I might add , and bought out this property. We tried to petition but they in turn have well paid lawyers
Such a scam and a shame. So sorry to see this happen repeatedly in West Van.

Yes, Odlum Brown was started by my grandad and his friend Malcolm Brown in 1923

Then on page 394 of the 403 page book, Crosby elects to include a letter from Edward Odlum, a lengthy letter where Professor Odlum relates his experience in accompanying Crosby on the mission ship Glad Tidings for three months visiting mainly Indian communities from Victoria to Alaska. The letter is amazing in that finally someone gives some balance to the estimation of worth of the rich, complex and admirable cultures of these peoples. I expect Crosby didn’t see it as such but the letter struck me as diplomatically criticizing his entire world view and this from a fellow “missionary” but one with some education and capacity for respecting and admiring other cultures.
