Phyllis Reeve

Phyllis Reeve (born 1938) is a former librarian and marina operator, who has written local histories and serves as a literary critic in British Columbia, Canada.

[9] At the end of the year, she married Charles Edward "Ted" Reeve,[10][11] who would later lead the kidney transplant team for the Province of British Columbia from 1968 to 1987.

[9][15] She continued her studies, earning a Master of Library Science degree,[16][17] and was awarded the Neal Harlow Book Prize, as the University of British Columbia's outstanding graduate in the school of librarianship in 1976.

[12][19] When they acquired the property it offered moorings, camping sites, cabins with kitchens and hearths, a laundry and showers, and a scuba shop which provided basic groceries.

[21] The book told the story of her father and his family, including his sisters, Beatrice and Helena; brothers, Charlie and Bayard; and his parents, Charles John and Richenda Parham, and their attempts to establish a plantation on the island of Vanua Levu.

[21][25] Reviewer Michael C. Howard, of Simon Fraser University, stated that the book provided insight into the life of "poorer European planters and government officials during the interwar years",[21] and information on important people and events in Fiji of the period.

[26] In 1993, she self-published Page's on Silva Bay: Memories of Fifty Years, 1943–1993, which she sold along with the works of other regional writers from the Gulf Islands Book Store the couple had opened at the marina.

[12] Inspired by a discussion with artist Pnina Granirer, who suggested opening a gallery, her Carved Stones Suite was the first exhibit hosted by the couple in July 1990.
