Biography / Biographie:

In 1974 a relatively unknown team from Victoria skipped by Flora Martin won the Canadian Senior women’s championship in Halifax. The same team returned to the Canadian scene in 1975 and once again to the Canadian Senior women’s title.

The sure-shooting third on the B.C. foursome for those two championship years was Edna Messum. Flora returned in 1979 with a new team, except for Messum who moved to lead, and was successful in capturing a third Canadian title in Vernon, B.C. with a prefect 10–0 record. The combination of Martin and Messum was to be heard from at the Seniors championship again in 1980 when they captured their fourth title.
