1973 -- The McQuarrie home "Tranquil Tara" on the west side of Porpoise Bay. The McQuarrie family came in 1912 from Maine to Sechelt where father Franklin worked as a logger, road foreman and school trustee. His son, Arnold McQuarrie, worked for Bert Whitaker as a store clerk and wagon driver then with the whole family moved to Powell River around 1917. The present house is still called "Tranquil Tara."
