'She's gone': B.C. man on a quest to find missing trophy named for his late sister

A Campbell River man, Gordon Smith, is searching for the bowl-shaped Laurie Smith Memorial Trophy from a local slow-pitch tournament.
The trophy honors his sister Laurie, who had Cystic Fibrosis and passed away around 42 years ago after loving softball in her teens.
Laurie's schoolmates donated the trophy to the Canada Cystic Fibrosis Chapter, which awarded it annually during summer fundraising tournaments now discontinued.
Smith has talked to multiple CF Chapter executives and tournament participants but found no one who knows the trophy's location or winning team, fearing it may have been discarded.
Smith continues to seek the trophy to keep it in the family for his grandchildren, hoping someone has it stored, as all official records and recommended locations lack it.
