Pacific Grain Elevators (now Viterra) Vancouver...

My Grandfather worked here for most of his life after coming to Canada.  Even after retirement, he continued to work there as security on the weekends.



One day an amateur photographer approached him, and she asked him if he could take her on a guided tour of the facility so she could snap some black & whites.  He obliged.  Remember that this was just before the modern era of 'maximum security' due to 'terrorism risks,' so something like this was still 'OK' to do then.



In return she said she'd send him copies of the photos, which surprisingly she did!



I should scan and post them, just for fun...

Sure, why not.

Not sure if the amateur photographer ever made a career in photography!  Probably not...
