Maury Sinclair resident of Merritt British Columbia, and founder of Broads with rods. Lived at 2137 Nicola avenue for a several years. She was a fishing guide for many years. Maury showed us her fathers fishing licence, one that had no expiry date and was issued early in the 2oth century. It was metal and she sometimes wore it on a chain as a necklace.

Maury served on the hospital ship the USS Hope of the coast of Africa and was a nurse and dentist. Although in the Canadian Navy she was attached to the US Navy in an engagement program.
She went to university in the Carolina’s and had an appreciation and world view for diversity and reconciliation.
She would come for coffee ant the downtown tourist booth in Merritt with her small white dog that she rescued when it was beaten by a drunken owner. The dog always wore a jacket or a sweater and was a cute as a button.
We understand she has moved on to better conditions and we at the PR would like to say a dew.
