Cumberland Museum
Roger Stonebanks has written an authoritative book on Ginger Goodwin called Fighting For Dignity. The book is carried in the museum gift shop.

Much of Roger's research for the book was done at the Cumberland museum so he is well aware of how the museum's photo archive is organized. Now, several years hence, he can easily specify exactly which photo from the museum's archive he wishes to refer to in his current correspondence and have that photo traceable in the museum's archive.

A recent email from Roger recommended the following photos specific to Ginger Goodwin be included in our website. The text included here is from Fighting For Dignity:

Cumberland soccer players in their striped shirts in 1911, likely the team in the B.C. Professional Football League, pose with trophies (the Merrifield 1909 Perpetual Charity Cup in the middle). Goodwin is front row, second from left, and his friend Arthur Boothman is front row, second from right, and between them is Tom Carney. The goalkeeper (with cap) is John (Scotty) Clark, with whose family Ginger often boarded.

In this photograph, his friends and fellow forwards join him in the front row, Tom Carney (third from left) and Arthur Boothman (fourth from left). Goodwin worked at No.5 mine in Cumberland. According to some newspaper accounts, this became Cumberland's entry in the B.C. Professional Soccer League in 1911.
