Some of Duthie’s varied and lively staff in the early days were: Binky Marks, Ivy Mickelson, Carol Dale, Jane Flick, Uncle David Duthie, Gloria Kavanaugh, Angela Nevar, Don Lewis, David Kerfoot, Greg Dexter, Dennis Barrett, Louise Hager, Brian Mitchell, David Hutchison, and many others. Some came for a short time; some stayed on for 20 and 30 years. Duthies was a congenial and stimulating place to work and Bill was a famously forgiving man.
Several of them went on to open bookstores of their own - Ivy’s (in Victoria) Hagers, Laughing Oyster (Courtenay), Butte Booksellers (Butte Montana) and Granville Book Company, Women in Print and Sophia Books.
