The City of New Westminster has high hopes for the Wait for Me, Daddy memorial that's being planned.
A task force has been working on plans to create a public art feature in downtown New Westminster that's based on the famous Wait For Me, Daddy photograph taken by Province newspaper photographer Claud Detloff on Oct. 1, 1940. He captured the image of five-year-old Warren "Whitey" Bernard reaching out to his father, Jack, who was among the soldiers marching down Eighth Street in New Westminster.
