This photo was taken in 1929, soon<br />

after the family of Hector and Katie<br />

<strong>McPhee</strong> sold the Pullut farm and bought<br />

the ill-fated Raggett’s farm at Yaapeet,<br />

slightly to the North of the town of<br />

Rainbow. Hector later described this<br />

sale as: “the biggest blunder of my life”.<br />

From the left: Marie, Jack, Cath, Jim<br />
