The History of Oak Bay Website The creation and development of this website has been a labour of love — many thousands of hours over twenty years. The website, a heritage award recipient, is my centennial legacy gift to the community. PROJECT CARD	Outa My Mind is a retrospective, 185-page e-Book of my personal creations over the years. Some projects received international recognition, most notably Photographer, considered by some to be one of the top three photography magazines in the world. But many of my creations — including cartoon friends and music unheard — have never seen the light of day until now. PROJECT CARD VISIT WEBSITE 812 MB high-resolution PDF	Stan Foogle Stan Foogle is a hopelessly optimistic loser who shares his thoughts with the viewer. He's so overwhelmed by the "vagaries" of life that he wears hip waders and carries a shovel. Although Stan's book — The World of Stan Foogle — is still under development, there's a free book Preview download on his website. PROJECT CARD BOOK PREVIEW PAGE BOOK PREVIEW COMIC STRIP
