  2. Are you getting notification on this reply? Berna parks was my great grandmother. I've got some info if you'd like. I also have a painting of hers and many of my family members do as well. I was just looking her up online and I stumbled upon this comment.

    1. Good to hear from you Nick. However, it looks like Berna was a member of what was the West Vancouver Sketch Club and not ours. Maybe it was our loss!
