Event Description

As part of BC Heritage Week, the Ladysmith & District Historical Society is presenting a new talk by local author and investigative journalist Daryl Ashby on Wednesday, February 22 at 7 p.m. at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall.
Ashby, author of 85 Grams: Art Williams — Drug Czar, and the Nobody’s Boy: Ralph Harris the Northern Connection, will expose the lives of a handful of men who engineered the covert pipeline that funnelled the majority of the illicit drugs into the Pacific Northwest over the past fifty years.
Where Art Williams managed to avoid conviction until his disappearance in late 1977, Ralph Harris worked beneath the authority’s radar for his lifetime.
While Art’s survival was made possible by employing a high level of intelligence, Ralph relied on an ample application of street smarts and brute force.
If you think you have heard these stories before, Ashby’s special guest will offer you his “first-hand” experience as one of the largest couriers of Central/South American cartel drugs.
This is not an event you will want to miss, so mark it clearly on your calendar. Admission is free.
