Name conjures bad memories

Letters

Editor: I found Mr. Garber's letter to the Bulletin very interesting. ("Bad choice of a name," Letters, Nov. 14) It reflected my feelings exactly about Terasen (the new name for B.C. Gas). I am not a Holocaust survivor but I reacted the same way as he did when I first saw the name. Terezin instantly came to my mind. I dont know if the Jewish community will want to take this on as there are so many other issues to tackle. I believe that every month when I receive my gas bill, this horrid association will come to my mind.
